The Impact of Revolutionary Change on Project Managers & Project Management
Every aspect of human existence, every vertical market, and every functional discipline is experiencing revolutionary change. In the 1990’s we “reengineered” and “webified”. In the aughts [2000-2009] we “mobilized”. In the first half of the second decade of the 21st century we “datified”. In 2017 we deal with the impacts of machine learning and conversational A.I. [e.g., Alexa, Google Home, Cortana and Siri]. Award-winning futurist and best-selling author Thornton May will explore what all this change means for project managers and project management.
