Project management is a young and very dynamic science. Nowadays we have different methods, which we use together, individually, or one after another.

Project management continues to develop. What direction is the development going in now? Today we pay more attention to the need for flexible methodologies, as they will give us the advantage of keeping up with the times or even getting a little ahead.

Project Managers everywhere witness their profession develop, but there are now some challenges or possibilities for us. We have to think about the future.

Which competencies must a future Project Manager have? What skills we need for the future depends on what choices we make and which direction we take.

Life science projects like pharmaceuticals take an average 12 years, billions of £ and only one in 250 drugs successfully reach the market. There is enormous waste in the process, yet the industry does not make use of the mountains of project data to gain insights to improve project performance.

There are calls from the Pharma Project Management profession to consider setting up a Pharmaceuticals Data Trust to provide the “big data” to gain new insights to the success factors, improve decision making, automate repetition, and deliver transformation leading to cost reduction, less waste, increased certainty of delivery, value generation, enhanced productivity, and shareholder value.

To drive the change required against the status quo is ambitious; to overcome the inertia, give direction to ensure the changes are genuinely for the better, and garner an industry led approach around a common purpose. We need to work together to develop the vision, roadmaps and provide thought leadership for project data analytics as an industry.

Sophie Newbould, (LinkedIn profile) lead advisor and negotiator on data, digital & technology (DDaT) projects for Government and regulated markets for the legal profession and large organisations such as HM Government, will provide the PIPMG attendees with a practical overview of how to approach gathering requirements that enable the capability transformation that the project management professions is very much looking to adopt.

Most corporate learning programs are designed to be popular. They are optimized to earn high ratings from participants during end-of-course assessments with little regard to how much they actually improve performance or change behavior.

When organizations track metrics at all, they tend to focus not on how well participants remember what they learn, but on net promoter score — essentially a measure of how enjoyable the learning program is.

But just because a learning program is fun doesn’t necessarily mean it’s effective. Too often, after a learning program, employees return to work only to quickly forget most of what they’ve learned.

The reality is that program participation, course completion and net promoter scores are not necessarily indicative of behavior change. Unless participants can remember what they learn, training programs are useless.

Join r Kip Kelly (LinkedIn profile) Director, Sounding Board Inc., Mary Slaughter (LinkedIn profile) Global Head of Employee Experience, Morningstar & Jon Thompson (LinkedIn profile) Director of Learning Experience and Innovation at the Coca-Cola Company;  in this session will explore some of the challenges in driving real, sustainable behavior change, with practical tips to design learning solutions that last.

In this session, you will:

• Explore key concepts that drive effective learning transfer.
• Examine the role of cognitive capacity, layering, intrinsic enablers, coherence, and social connections to enhance learning
• Identify common challenges facing L&D professionals in designing effective learning today.
