Presentation Abstract 

Digital Project Management: The Future is Opportunity

Presentation Speaker

Amber McMillan - 'The Feisty PM'

Presentation Abstract

In the midst of significant challenges comes the opportunity to rethink our ways of working and to make changes that renew our focus from that of which we have living knowledge Project leadership in an AI and digitally-driven environment means we must address issues associated with VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) in our work, and it has never been as much about understanding and valuing people as it is now. In this presentation, Amber will explore these four factors in the context of projects and how risk management activities can help mitigate unintended consequences and leverage the unique opportunities the future holds in leading the people side of project work. Learning outcomes include an understanding of these four factors:

• Volatility: Volatility exists in an environment that is subject to rapid and unpredictable change.
• Uncertainty: Uncertainty is inherent in all projects, and the effects of any activity cannot be predicted precisely, so a range of outcomes can occur.
• Complexity: A project is a system of interacting elements, and its complexity arises from human behavior and system behavior. The nature and number of interactions stem from elements within the project, their interactions, and interactions with both internal and external systems and the environments.
• Ambiguity: Ambiguity describes a situation where something has more than one possible meaning, which can cause confusion. This may affect a project’s ability to achieve its objectives in areas such as requirements, technical solutions, and regulatory requirements.
