👉 "In God we trust, everybody else, bring data!"
I visited Columbia University yesterday for a presentation/panel called “Smarter Projects & Stronger Leaders in the Era of AI", and it was a great conversation.
🔵 Who is today's Project Manager?
A mindful leader who balances the needs of the planet, people, and their community.
They collaborate closely with AI tools but recognize that nothing replaces common sense.
A modern PM not only understands the business but also has the field skills to get started right away.
Equally important are soft skills: motivating teams, staying flexible, solving problems creatively, and using data to tell a compelling story.
