PMI Virtual Experience Series - Talent & Technology

Most organizations are aware of the need to transform in order to remain both relevant and competitive in the new digital economy. But awareness and action are different, and sometimes it takes a crisis such as Covid-19 to trigger action.

The reality for many organizations is that their next crisis - caused by the emergence of new business models - could be far more significant and less forgiving if an adequate transformation of their business has not already been achieved.

Rob Llewellyn will elaborate on why no CEO can afford to undermine the legitimate transformation of their business, along with some of the steps they can take to create the new future their organizations need.

Columbia: Legacy and Lessons Learned takes you back in time on a journey to 2003 as Columbia returns from its ill-fated 28th mission into space. Experience the emotional and physical recovery from the STS-107 accident and engage in an extensive conversation on an array of powerful lessons on Project Leadership and Team Building that Columbia teaches us today.

This experience is brought to you by NASA’s new Apollo Challenger Columbia Lessons Learned Program (ACCLLP). ACCLLP is the Agency’s innovative effort to reimagine, reintroduce and effectively share the lessons learned from its history with an eye towards ensuring our future mission success.

In an increasingly complex and fast-moving global economy, the nature of work itself is changing. We see technologies like artificial intelligence and major global challenges, like the current Covid-19 pandemic, reshaping how projects are delivered around the world. Individuals, organizations, academia and governments are all striving to achieve relevance and bring complex strategies to life.

This year's virtual event will welcome the Project Management Institute’s Michael DePrisco, Vice President, Global Experience & Solutions to share his insights on the world's shift toward projectization and new ways of working. Michael will share his perspective on the global trends impacting how work gets done - and the role that the PMI community is playing to prepare both individuals and their organizations to become future-proof in a time of continuous change.
