Project managers rely, as do all leaders, on people who do not report directly to them to achieve the project objectives. They are well positioned to develop competencies for leadership roles in many settings: corporations, government, non-profit and volunteer organizations. In complex, multi-phasic teams that develop new therapeutic agents, the project manager often functions as both the COO of the project, working directly with the accountable technical or business leader, and as the problem solver who may fill in unexpected staffing needs. The “soft power” of this position presents an opportunity to impact the organization’s goals in unique ways beyond the conventional areas of scope, time, cost, quality and risk.
This session will focus on identifying and developing collaborative skills that will enable the participants to better diagnose their organizational environment and navigate to appropriate outcomes in both corporate and non-corporate settings. These skills are critical to creating engaged teams, avoiding burnout and delivering results that build a sustainable future for real people.

The rise of the Gig economy is one of the most transformative global economic trends in the past decade. In 2020, 59M Americans, or 36% of the U.S. workforce engaged in freelance work. 75% of freelancers who left an employer to pursue freelancing full-time report making the same or more income than when they worked a traditional job. Freelancers contributed $1.2 trillion dollars to the U.S economy in annual earnings in 2020, a 22% increase since 2019. The prevalence of freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs will continue to accelerate as more businesses transition to project-based frameworks in pursuit of organizational agility.
The Gig economy, once thought to be a short-term fad, is here to stay. But what exactly is the Gig Economy? And why should expert project management professionals, both full-time employees of an organization and independent consultants, understand this growing trend? Are organizations embracing outsourced project managers?
In this session, attendees will learn what the Gig economy is, what factors contributed to its rapid growth, and what project professionals can do today to stay ahead of the curve in our new world of work.

How do we determine the right set of features to build into an early product, prototype, or MVP? It’s important to make the decision based on quantitative and qualitative data, however in practice, it is often difficult to reconcile the two. In this talk, Nick will show you how he and his team at Kromatic have used Storyboarding to help product teams prioritize their builds, and determine which experiments to run.

The events of the past year have created a change in the competencies and behaviors necessary for professionals to succeed and is the starting point for a wider paradigm shift on how we train employees. More than 120 million workers in the world’s 12 largest economies need to be upskilled in the next 3 years. Micro-competencies like authenticity, vulnerability, inclusivity and agility will become even more important than functional experience or fancy academic degrees. Those competencies require learning delivery that involves more than rote memorization and digital quizzes. In addition, technology exists now to address individual learning styles. In other words, technology can adjust to people rather than the other way around. We invite you to imagine, what if you could learn how to switch off unwanted behaviors or habits and become your ideal self with minimal effort? Although habit change has been nearly impossible historically, today, new developments in AI and technology are making it possible for learning to adapt individuals’ behaviors, making learning both fun and creative. We invite you to join us and explore how ‘real time’ learning through technology support and just in time messaging is replacing traditional classroom training.
