What to Expect
The capabilities that made project leaders successful yesterday may not be the capabilities they need to lead tomorrow. Artificial intelligence, increasing organizational complexity, faster decision cycles, evolving ways of working, and rising expectations for business impact are reshaping the project leadership profession. Technical project management knowledge remains essential, but it is no longer enough. Project leaders must continuously develop their ability to influence people, understand the business, exercise judgment, adapt how work gets done, and use emerging technologies to amplify their impact.
Upskilling Project Leadership: Building the Capabilities to Lead What’s Next is a practical webinar that challenges project professionals to take ownership of their professional evolution. Using the PMI Talent Triangle® (Power Skills, Business Acumen, and Ways of Working) as a developmental foundation, Dr. Tony Prensa will explore the capabilities project leaders need to remain relevant and increase their leadership impact. The session will also examine how artificial intelligence is changing the capability equation. AI amplifies human leadership, which makes judgment, influence, strategic thinking, adaptability, and business understanding even more important.
This webinar moves beyond the traditional question, “What certification should I earn next?” and asks a more consequential one: “What capability must I build next to become the project leader the future will require?” Participants will assess their own capability portfolio, identify a priority development opportunity, and leave with a practical 90-Day Project Leadership Upskilling Plan for turning learning into deliberate practice, demonstrated capability, and greater professional impact.
