From an esoteric technical pursuit that bordered on the philosophical and arcane, we are now able to interact, explore and create with AI on a personal basis, from any smart phone or web browser.

While this is exciting and fascinating to many, others see disturbing and dangerous trends. It has been argued that AI is coming for white collar jobs in much the same way that the modern factory displaced blue collar jobs, and automation reduced clerical ones.

• What does the rise of AI—and generative AI in particular—mean for the practice of project management?
• How can AI help project managers do their jobs more effectively?
• What is the role of AI in producing project results?
• And should project managers be worried that AI could advance to the point that we ourselves are obsolete?

Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management dives into these questions and more as he explores the brave new world of AI, and what it means for the practice and discipline of project management.

A location strategy outlines where to hire and source talent across markets to meet current and future skills needs. Organizations must continuously refine their location strategy to thrive in an increasingly competitive talent market and globalized work environment.

Answering that question effectively requires a well-framed talent strategy that is aligned to business objectives and informed by in-depth labor market intelligence.

Answering it efficiently requires close consultation with business stakeholders.

The ANSI G1 standard was created by a group at the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Government Division, led by the presenter, as a means of developing and providing oversight for management systems, including project management.

Its structured system methodology leads users to define outcomes and outputs of a system (project or program) and then the key milestones required for its successful delivery. The milestones, called Principal Activity Groups, are then further defined through development of measurable or verifiable requirements, which can be used to track their successful completion.

These Principal Activity Groups are again analyzed, to define “causes” of success, which become the tasks and actions of a defined “best practice operational plan.”

The methodology should be of great interest and will provide another means of in-depth planning for projects.  It should also provide a source of learning for both the Project Management Office and program management of all types.

Richard Mallory (LinkedIn profile) will explore the methodology of structured system management, and the method and benefit of its application in all these areas.  Overall structured system management is a valuable new tool that project managers should consider.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand and be able to use the structured system management framework, and to apply it to project planning and oversight
• Understand how development of principal activity groups will assist in work breakdown structure, and in project performance management
• Be able to create a system map for project management, and through that analysis will be able to evaluate and structure a best practice operational plan for a PMO
• Be able to create a system map for any program management office, with a best practice operational plan and performance measures

The pace of technology is staggering and the notion that machines will replace our jobs is receiving considerable attention.

By 2025 machines will perform more work tasks than humans, according to the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report. This prediction has worried workers and employers.

The good news is that organizations are thinking about the social implications of this man/machine shift and considering their options.

Deloitte’s 2019 Global Human Capital Trends report, “Leading the social enterprise: Reinvent with a human focus” reflects polling results of nearly 10,000 respondents in 119 countries.

Amongst its findings, CEOs were asked to rate their most important measure of success in 2019. The No. 1 issue they cited was “impact on society, including income inequality, diversity and the environment”.

• The pace of technology and its effect on jobs

• Key takeaways and approaches HR organizations can leverage to be better prepared for the “reinvention” ahead
