In our changing world, project professionals must be more nimble and resourceful than ever to keep pace and create impact. As new industries, practices, and technologies emerge, project professionals and their teams are challenged to pivot quickly and work even more efficiently—all so they can deliver value.
To prepare for a future that is coming faster than ever, project professionals now need a skill set inclusive of different disciplines and practices, as well as other in-demand skills. We see the power of melding the core insights of project management with three skill categories: a diverse understanding of Ways of Working, Business Acumen, and Power Skills.
