The impact of Digital Transformation on Leadership is a hot topic, driven by innovations and disruptions in technology and largely shaped by the advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

According to a 2019 study by Oracle and the research firm Future Workplace, 64% of workers would put their trust in a robot rather than their manager.

This startling statistic emphasizes the rising mistrust that workers feel for their managers and emphasizes how important it is for managers to develop into true leaders, capable of navigating the opportunities and challenges that AI presents.

Hence, it is critical for leaders to adapt and change as Artificial Intelligence permeates the modern workplace if they want to stay relevant.

Technology can transform many things including leadership, as history shows.

Historically, three distinct periods emerge when the study technological breakthroughs. At these junctures, interplay between technology and leadership mandated different leadership styles and attributes. These transitions did not replace leadership, but played a strong role in re-shaping leadership.

Even though it is tempting to assume that Artificial Intelligence can improve everything from productivity to brand loyalty, leadership requires conscious introspection on topics ranging from individual leader’s mindset (mental models) to organizational constructs (strategy, design, etc.).

Often, we fail to attribute due credit to leadership and the role it plays in technological breakthroughs. Retrospective into technological revolutions demonstrates that technology is a byproduct of leadership.

Today’s era of Artificial Intelligence requires new leadership thinking, life-long learning and regenerative models. Leaders who want to succeed in this age should consciously balance the delicate interplay between their “artistic side” comprising of the entire battery of human emotions and the “architect side” comprising of the range of Artificial Intelligence tools to compensate, complement, and conquer our finite nature.

Leaders need a framework to consider how they can deploy technology to practice the art of leading, whilst considering the inhibitors that prevent them from leading.

This framework will also provide a toolbox to appraise our reliance on Artificial Intelligence to execute such difficult tasks as exercising independent judgment and decision—making – the very activities that impart meaning and raison d’être to the leader’s existence.

Delivering higher-value projects in increasingly shorter timeframes sustains competitiveness.

Challenges exist at every turn; risk must be understood and mitigated, and problems recognized and solved quickly.

Adaptive reasoning and problem-solving skills have become increasingly important in project management, where decisions based on sometimes sparse, voluminous, or contradictory data must be dealt with, verified and conveyed to a diversity of team members – often under stressful, time-sensitive circumstances.

In such situations, project managers’ ability to update their mental models precisely, draw valid conclusions, and effectively deploy response through team members is critical.

This presentation discusses how advancements in adaptive reasoning and problem-solving skills resulting from the development of structured approaches to innovation are changing perceptions of project deliverables (time, quality, cost, risk management, et al).

Presenter: Dana W. Clarke, Sr. (LinkedIn profile) President/CEO of Applied Innovation Alliance LLC, specializes on the advancement and practical application of Structured Innovation and TRIZ (The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving).  Author of TRIZ: Through the Eyes of an American TRIZ Specialist & 40 Principles: TRIZ Keys to Innovation [Extended Edition]  His expertise encompasses the practical applications, consulting, facilitation and training of methodologies and business practices.

On June 15, 2023, a PMI Webinar was conducted where Lynda Carter (LinkedIn profile) and David Davis, PMP PgMP (LinkedIn profile) discussed “Empathy when Eliciting User Knowledge” (original webinar 1 PDU).   The discussion / interaction was tremendous and there were more comments and questions than the leaders could answer.

Well, they listened to you and have now prepared a second webinar to answer most of those questions and continue the dialog.

Extracting knowledge from various workers is a key competency required for the current project professional.

Whether it involves product requirements, user acceptance criteria, creating the definition of done, determining value of stories in a backlog, or obtaining executive critical success factors, the project professional delivers many artifacts that depend on input from various knowledge workers scattered throughout the organization.

This session will focus on the approach the project professional must take to have effective elicitation sessions.

You must approach it from the knowledge worker perspective and be able to establish an environment of trust and psychological safety.

1. They will discuss the importance of humility and that you are eliciting information.
2. They will discuss the importance of seeing that environment to facilitate active listening and interactive engagement.
3. They will take a holistic approach to the elicitation including setting expectations, eliciting information, and providing feedback.
4. Finally, we will explore the impact that cultural intelligence is a factor in the overall elicitation and feedback.

Learning Objectives:

1. The importance of utilizing several components of human relationships including humility, empathy, respect, and gratitude.
2. Articulate the entire cycle of eliciting information from initial contact to knowledge exchange engagement, to paraphrase understanding, to follow-up.
3. Use Cultural Intelligence techniques to understand how knowledge extraction techniques must align with the culture of the knowledge workers.

When writing Acceptance Tests, we respond to requirements and essentially turn them into scenarios that can be specified, tested, and then implemented. However, sometimes requirements are stated in a way that make the scenarios too large for effective testing and development.

In this webinar Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) will investigate why this is, suggest techniques that can be used to decompose them into smaller scenarios, and demonstrate this using a real-world example of a complex business rule.

With COVID and social movements including the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting, we are experiencing unprecedented numbers of employees leaving the workforce, either physically or mentally, in order to avoid high stress and burnout and bring a better sense of balance to their lives.

All this, while the ongoing number of projects and change organizations are taking on to remain competitive and satisfy their customers continues to rise. To maintain and grow their customer base, organizations seek out, listen to and leverage their customers to influence decisions.

Interestingly enough, for their own employees, the lifeblood of their business, many organizations don’t offer this same level of priority and service especially when it comes to executing projects and driving change.

Organizations need to treat and lead valued employees more like their customers. They need to start leading with human centricity.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Define human centricity and its value
2. Differentiate a human-centric approach from a traditional project and change management approach
3. Articulate key elements of a human centric approach
4. Demonstrate strategies and actions that accelerate human centric project and change management
