Until recently, projects and project management tended to be behind-the-scenes work. But the Covid-19 vaccine development and distribution - one of the world's largest-scale projects to date - has put project management into the spotlight. As the issues we face become more international and complex, projects will be the engine that drives progress in all walks of life. Welcome to the Project Economy.

In the Project Economy we will see an overhaul of the way projects are currently done. Project-based work will become the primary unit of work and employees of all professions will be involved in countless projects throughout their careers. To fully harness project management and to live into the idea that projects can inspire positive change – it’s time for companies and leaders to break out of outdated structures and take a dynamic new approach.

On 8 December, project management expert Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez will talk about the challenges and opportunities of the Project Economy; explain why in this world driven by change we are all project managers, and all executives are project sponsors; and present a refreshed and more holistic and simplified view of project management, including a demonstration on how to use the Project Canvas –a new approach to managing any project that will help organizations succeed in a project-driven economy. Based on ideas detailed in the Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook, Antonio will offer advice and tools that will help individuals and organizations thrive in a project-driven world.

For anyone who needs to know how to lead more successful projects, or executives who aspire to become better project sponsors. We hope you can join us!
