Don’t just watch your future happen — architect it. Take a thrilling journey to the frontlines of tomorrow, where technology, geopolitics, and society collide to create what’s next. If you know how to turn disruption to your advantage, it’s your biggest opportunity.
There’s no better guide to the changes we face — or coach on how to take advantage of them — than Jonathan Brill, HP Global Futurist, bestselling author, and celebrated inventor. His repeated ability to spot disruption and flip it into opportunity is why Forbes recently ranked him as the #1 Futurist in the world.
Your assumptions will be challenged by hard data. You’ll be inspired by extraordinary people who are changing the world. Your imagination will be ignited as you gain the same exclusive access as the Fortune 50 CEOs and government leaders Brill advises. In this inspiring talk, you’ll learn how to:
- Navigate Uncertainty — Discover the key trends shaping the 2020’s.
- Invent Tomorrow — Leverage AI on your org chart.
- Do What Matters — Learn the ABC’s, the three actionable tools to Architect Your Future.
As Adam Grant said, this is “an actionable framework for driving change, instead of being blindsided by it.”
Which path will you choose?
10.15-11.00 – DISCUSSION PANEL EN: Moderator: Aneta Wereszczak
Speakers: Agnieszka Gasperini, Laura Davidson, Lucila Dotto – Success Stories and Impactful Initiatives: Advancing Women in Project Management
Get ready for an awesome panel with Laura Davidson , Agnieszka Gasperini, and Lucila Dotto – it’s going to be a great mix of ideas and wisdom!
This panel would focus on the experiences and contributions of women in the field of project management, with an emphasis on how they have navigated their careers, encountered challenges, and leveraged opportunities. The discussion would also explore the role of the Project Management Institute (PMI) in promoting gender diversity and inclusion within the industry. Additionally, it would provide valuable insights and advice for aspiring women in project management, including strategies and resources to excel in the evolving landscape of project management. The panel would emphasize the importance of diversity and inclusion in this profession and how PMI and its volunteers can work together to encourage more women to enter and excel in project management roles. Success stories and impactful initiatives within PMI would be shared, highlighting how these can be expanded or replicated. Finally, the panel would touch upon future trends and opportunities in project management and how women can prepare themselves to excel in these areas.
Questions:
- Can you share your personal journey and experiences as a woman in project management? How did you initially get involved in this field?
- In your volunteer roles at PMI, have you encountered any specific challenges or opportunities related to gender diversity? How has PMI addressed these issues?
- Diversity and inclusion are important in any profession. How can PMI and its volunteers work to encourage more women and underrepresented groups to enter and excel in project management roles?
- As volunteers, you’ve contributed to PMI’s mission. How can PMI’s initiatives and programs better support and advance the careers of women in project management?
- Can you share success stories or examples of initiatives within PMI that have made a positive impact on women in project management roles, and how can these be expanded or replicated?
- Project management often requires strong leadership and communication skills. How have your experiences as women influenced your leadership style within project teams?
- The project management field has seen significant growth and changes in recent years. How can women continue to adapt and thrive in this evolving industry, and what role does PMI play in supporting this?
- Have you observed any unique benefits that women bring to the world of project management, and if so, how can these be leveraged more effectively?
- What advice would you give to other women who aspire to pursue a career in project management? Are there specific strategies or resources you found helpful along the way?

11.00-11.45 – Coffee Break
11.45-12.30 – SPEECH EN: Agata Bloswick & Anna Świątańska – Clinical Research Project Management and Cultivating a Dynamic Talent Ecosystem for Market Growth and Leadership Diversity
Embark on a journey into the fascinating world of clinical research project management with Agata Bloswick and Anna Swiatanska. In a world where the clinical research landscape is constantly evolving, the speakers will shed light on the details that come up when project management meets this highly complex field. Expect insights, discussions, and case study that will redefine your perception of clinical research project management.
Agata and Anna will aim to address a fundamental question: is it easier to turn a project member, a specialist in their field into a project manager, or develop a project manager in a well-designed, incubator-style ecosystem, based on personal predispositions. They will explore whether being a project manager is a promotion from subject matter expertise, a trainable skill, or a personal predisposition.
In addition, the speakers will present a case-study of the path to growing your own talent pool and fostering engagement among cross-generational, global workers.They will also introduce the concept of “Talent Growth Hubs,” a revolutionary approach that will not only expand your market share but also enhance leadership diversity in unexpected ways.
11.45-12.30 – SPEECH PL: Paweł Dudek – Zmiana kultury organizacyjnej – początek czy koniec transformacji?
Do we need to start or finish projects in organizations when changing the organizational culture? What marks the beginning and the end of the transformation process? Is that possible and why? What are the key challenges and success factors in projects that are aimed at changing an organization’s culture? Paweł will present several examples and case studies (including data-driven culture) and discuss with the participants what to consider and what to avoid. His aim will be to present best practices and examples of cultural change failures, to help project managers understand their role in such processes, and to provide a set of insights based on research and practical experience from both Polish and international companies, which you can easily apply in your own endeavors.
11.45-12.30 – SPEECH PL: Szymon Wesołowski
Artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, machine learning, generative models – these are just some of the “buzz-words” that are causing curiosity (and sometimes even an accelerated pulse) among some CEOs and most CTOs. There is a lot of talk about how the revolution under the banner of AI can change the way we do business, but it still seems that the use of this technology in the retail industry is a distant future…. Or perhaps, to paraphrase William Gibson, “The future in the world is already here, just unevenly distributed,” and part of that future is already present in Żabka? Let’s find out during this presentation.
11.45-13.45 – WORKSHOP PL: Maja Lose – How to implement a culture of proactivity in the team?
Do you manage a team and dream of people who are independent, responsible and outgoing? And at the same time, for them to find their way through the rollercoaster of change?
Enter a culture of proactivity. It’s one of the competencies needed in the 21st century.
During the speech, I will talk about the difference between proactive and reactive people, how to build a proactive attitude in a team, and what are the pros and cons (!) of working in such a culture.
11.45-13.45 – WORKSHOP PL: Dariusz Ciechan & Jerzy Stawicki – Rudder on target: a game combining business and projects.
How to effectively link planned business goals and results with ongoing projects and tasks? How to ensure their consistency? After all, this is Hamlet’s “To be or not to be?” question transferred to the business world. During our interactive workshop, interweaving business and project challenges with fun during a simulation game, participants divided into two teams – business and project – will seek answers to these questions. During the simulation game, we will think together:
- How to build effective and efficient cooperation between business and projects?
- What management methods can business and projects share?
- How to set strategic and operational priorities in a consistent way?
The task of the participants will be to relate the situation from the game to the realities of their organizations, to identify patterns and anti-patterns related to the consistency of goals and results with the implemented projects. As a result, we will develop organizational and management solutions that they can apply to their work environment. Are you ready for this challenge?
11.45-13.45 – WORKSHOP PL: Maciej Gawlik – Project finances through the eyes of management and investors.
If you want to sit at the same table with management and/or investors, it’s worth getting to know their language and the way they look at business. Projects and programs are a piece of a larger puzzle, in which sometimes completely different metrics and analyses count than the ones that give you an idea of the project’s health on a daily basis. Therefore, in this workshop you will learn, among other things, what financial terms such as OPEX, CAPEX, Cash Flow, EBIT(DA) mean. You will also understand why they are so important when investors evaluate projects. You will learn all this based on real cases of projects and questions asked by boards and investors.
This workshop is designed for experienced project or program managers, PMOs and project sponsors.
11.45-13.45 – SPONSORED WORKSHOP PL: Rafał Czarny – Design Thinking Lab – Kluczowe narzędzia procesu
Podczas tego warsztatu poznasz kluczowe narzędzia procesu Design Thinking. Pozwalają one zespołowi design thinking efektywnie zarządzać interesariuszami, generować i udoskonalać pomysły w celu wypracowania skutecznych rozwiązań. Będzie kreatywnie, merytorycznie i na pewno nie nudno!
12.30-13.00 – Coffee Break
13.00-13.45 – SPEECH PL: Michał Mądry – How do business leaders transform their organizations?
Today, business leaders must cope with the accelerating pace of technological and market changes. Transforming organizations in the digital age requires not only new technologies and tools, but also a change in culture and mindset. Keeping up with the evolving workplace has become a necessity. However, research shows that still more than 70% of major transformations fail, and transformation risk is still the most important issue for most executives. The talk will present strategies that leaders are using to transform their organizations and meet the challenges of today’s market.
The goal is to introduce participants to the key challenges of transformations, provide examples of successful transformations and present a methodology for managing transformations.
13.00-13.45 – SPEECH EN: Lucila Dotto – Embracing Emotions: Navigating Adversity with Resilience and Growth
Experiencing adversity can be emotionally challenging. During this presentation, we aim to delve deeper into the various emotions people experience during difficult times, and how these emotions influence decision-making and behavior. Together, we will review strategies to manage and cope with intense feelings in a healthy and constructive way. By embracing our emotions, we can gain insights into ourselves and those around us. Participants may discover healthy ways to cope with their emotions, reflect on their wellbeing and explore practical strategies to cope with adversity. Embracing our emotions in a positive manner can be transformative, not only while navigating change and adversity, but also in growing personally and professionally. Let us seize this opportunity to embrace our emotions, understand their power and expand our journey towards well-being.
14.45-15.30 – SPEECH PL: Leszek Zaremba – Innovative product development – we need to help luck!
Research reports and online sources shows that failure rate in implementing new products remains relatively high (up to 50%). In the other hand scientific publications indicate that investing in a formal or semi – formal product development methodology such as Stage Gate or Design for Six Sigma allowed to significantly increase the success rate, despite this many organizations have not even taken this step. Based on examples from the IT industry and experience in cooperation with industries and corporations, the lecture will present how to increase your chance of success by implementing right methods, tools, processes to respond to challenges like:
1. How to meet to customer/user expectations and fit it with the budget for the MVP, where Implementation Analysis comes to the rescue;
2. How to drive success, i.e. how to deploy the product/get the first customer, where the right process or processes and methodology comes to the rescue;
3. How to select projects for implementation in a budget-constrained environment, where defining how to manage a portfolio of projects and their evaluation and selection comes to the rescue.
13.45-14.45 – Lunch
14.45-15.30 – SPEECH PL: Lucy Szaszkiewicz – Can a PM become a hacker? And why is it worth it? and even worth it!
Until now, the cyber security industry has looked like a Waterfall model with no definition of success criteria, project scope or business analysis, or even any methodology or logic. It’s time for a breath of fresh air with a factual, structured approach with clear, precise and predictable outcomes. With automated tools powered by AI, you can become an ethical hacker in your organisation and see for yourself what circle of cyber hell your company is in and how to get out of it.
14.45-15.30 – SPEECH EN: Waldemar Olbryk – Dear Project Manager, your job is no longer your job …or never was
Has the role of the Project Manager in the company really changed significantly in recent years? I will share my observations in which areas I have identified the biggest differences. The presentation will be enriched with my own perspective: today a representative of the C-Suite. I will try to inspire what can be done to propose a redefinition of the real value of PM for organizations, as well as how one can try to open the eyes of representatives of the highest management levels and other teams to PMs. I will share my observations and experiences gathered as part of diverse investment projects or program changes. My target is to refer to the concept of Life Cycle or DevOps. I believe that project management knowledge can play a key role in the organizations, and C-level can use it even more fully.
13.00-13.45 – SPEECH PL: Michał Łakomski – Evolution of the smart city on the example of Poznań
Explore the fascinating evolution of smart cities through the lens of Poznań. This lecture offers a comprehensive examination of the successes, challenges, and innovative solutions associated with implementing the smart city concept. We will also delve into the intricacies of public sector management during this transformative process, emphasizing the importance of effective project management in overcoming these challenges. Gain valuable insights into project management strategies and be inspired to initiate similar endeavors. Join us for an engaging session that unveils the transformative potential of smart cities, with Poznań as an inspiring model to follow.
15.30-16.00 – Networking Break
14.45-16.45 – WORKSHOP PL: Przemysław Kutnyj – Present projects with fire, which is how to speak to spark.
This workshop will allow you to practice your presentation skills, focusing on key areas such as body language, voice, and stress management. We will dispel some myths, learn some perspectives, refresh our perception of smart speeches that leave value in the memory of the audience. Value that will allow you to present better during projects, even when they take place in constant change.
Every project is about the tasks and the people who do them, and the risks of mistakes or slip-ups that can occur. In this workshop we will explore together what features of a project team environment allow you to deal effectively with mistakes and risks in a project. We will try out tools and exercises that will help to build your courage to talk about what goes wrong, while using these situations to build stronger teams.
14.45-16.45 – WORKSHOP EN: Liz Hector – The Science & Art of Creating a High Performing Team
A make-your-own-plan workshop (toolkit included). An interactive workshop focused on networking ideas and building a plan you can start using today. The core belief in this session is that leadership and Creating High Performing Teams are part Science and part Art: Science through intellectual, systematic, and practical application of processes and competencies. Art because all projects and teams are unique. Project Managers must master human dynamics, creativity, inspiration, and emotional intelligence. After setting the scene, we will jump into ‘doing’ mode. You will create a fit-for-purpose Take-Away plan for your team or for yourself. You will be provided with a toolset and resources during this working session. Be ready to chat, have fun, and get some work done that you will take away and build on. Get inspired using tools and discussion with others to create a more aligned and high-performing team (or become more high-performing yourself)!
16.00-16.45 – SPEECH PL: Maciej Makselon – In our language? Which one? A thing on communication.
Three-quarters of it is about whether the rules are always helpful or sometimes a barrier to communication. About language standards that can unite but also divide. About jargon that streamlines processes but isolates communication. About the risks of using anglicisms and the limitations of avoiding them. And, above all, about whether corporate language is needed and for whom.
16.00-16.45 – SPEECH EN: Bruno Morgante – Creating value through projects: from getting things done to leading change and driving transformation
Embracing change is not just a mantra, it is the essence of progress.
In this engaging and insightful session, Bruno will unveil the role Project Managers play in not just adapting to change, but in becoming the driving force behind it.
Join this journey that will take you from getting things done to leading change and driving transformation.
Captivating stories, insights, and anecdotes from Bruno’s experience about the importance of forging meaningful stakeholder connections, fostering effective communication, bridging gaps, building trust, and delivering projects towards true value creation.
But how do you build the right team? How do you balance the realities of limited time, budget and the not always high level of customer awareness in the organization?
Drawing on my experience of building and developing teams, I will talk about, among other things, how to in practice:
– start building a product team under both favorable and difficult conditions,
– select roles that are appropriate to the characteristics of the project, the product and the organization,
– develop the competencies of each role
– implement the research and project process effectively and not by the book,
– what are the advantages and disadvantages of hiring people with little and a lot of experience?
– how to look at a team in terms of personality rather than position?
During the presentation we will talk about the product design market in Poland. About flaws and trends that may be observed. What recruitment looks like – from the recruiter’s and the candidate’s point of view.
I guarantee that when you leave the room you will know what to expect from a team, how to build it and why not everything you hear at conferences is worth your attention 😉
16.45-17.30 – Coffee Break
17.30-18.30 – KEYNOTE SPEAKER EN: Marcus Glowasz – Mastering the Future: Unleashing Project Managers’ Potential through AI-Driven Excellence
The age of AI has begun and is in full swing, transforming not only our lives and workplaces but also our approach to managing and delivering projects. The imperative to adapt or be left behind is widespread and undeniable. It is clear that the future of project management relies on the integration of data and artificial intelligence to remain relevant.
Although many project management professionals perceive this shift as a precarious turning point that could render their roles obsolete, it actually holds immense potential to revolutionize and enhance their capabilities. Far from rendering their roles obsolete, the rise of AI presents a unique opportunity to enhance their capabilities. It serves as a catalyst for their growth and development, empowering them to become indispensable assets and leaders in the age of AI.
In his talk, Marcus Glowasz will highlight the path that project managers can embark upon in the AI era, emphasizing the increasing importance of human-led skills, knowledge, and adaptability for innovation and success in the evolving landscape of project management.

Managing the business case for the project
- Business case planning
- Updating and monitoring the business case
Summary
- Benefits of using the business case and its limitations
- Automation of project business case management
09.15-12.00 – WORKSHOP EN: Piotr Magnuszewski – Social simulations as a tool for building awareness in change.
The “better is the enemy of the good” syndrome has already killed many changes and transformation. No matter how fantastic the vision of the future after the project sounds. As long as today’s action strategy seems reasonably good, you can expect resistance. This is when social simulations come in handy. A well-designed gameplay conducted with key stakeholders helps make them aware of the long-term consequences of not changing. The effect is similar to using a time capsule to speed up the inevitable future. With participants coming to conclusions on their own, the effect in terms of changing beliefs is much stronger than with techniques such as reports or presentations. At the same time, it is a tool that allows individual stakeholders to understand the mutual impact of the actions of individual players and the environment.
We have divided the workshop into 3 parts: – an excerpt of gameplay that will allow you to experience what social simulation looks like in practice, – an introduction to some of the basic tools we use when building simulations, – a presentation of several case studies, allowing you to see how simulations have been used by us in change projects of different scales.
Finally, we’ll show you places where you can get more information on the subject.
Od początków rolnictwa zakładano, że wilki są nikczemnie i krwiożercze;
potem, w epoce oświecenia, uznano, że są szlachetne i mądre. Na początku XX wieku uznaliśmy, że mamy samca i samicę alfa, które trzęsą watahą jak generał wojskiem. Nic z tego nie jest warte więcej niż metafora. Dzisiaj wiemy już, że wilki nie tworzą ścisłej hierarchii. W takim razie na czym polega ich sukces? Jakim cudem przeżyły tysiące lat eksterminacji? Oraz czego możemy się od nich nauczyć w zarządzaniu ludźmi i projektami?
10.00-10.45 – SPEECH EN: Laura Davidson – SROI (Social Return on Investment): Good for Your Project, Good for the Planet
Corporate Social Responsibility is more than community service and often difficult to give tangible examples of the benefits. SROI analysis is a framework for understanding, measuring, and reporting the social, environmental and economic value generated by an organization, program or policy. This presentation will define SROI and its significance in measuring social impact; share the principles and components of SROI; give benefits and challenges of SROI; as well as provide a practical framework for implementing SROI.

10.00-12.00 – WORKSHOP PL: Piotr Sałata – Mapa Podróży Użytkownika w codziennej pracy
The Customer Journey Map provides a broad and systematic view of the customer experience in the context of our product or service. A well-prepared map can be both a trigger for change and a tool for prioritizing product development.
During the workshop we will practice rapid map creation based on the participants’ own experiences. The limited duration of the workshop provides both challenge and added value – to include a quick, agile application of this method as an alternative to standard forms of summaries and presentations. During the workshop you will learn and practice how to: – collect data from users, – summarize observations in the form of a map, – draw conclusions and set priorities, – present findings.Podczas warsztatu zagłębimy się w temat nieświadomych uprzedzeń (unconscious bias), badając ich obecność w zespołach, zapewniając strategie rozpoznawania i łagodzenia ich wpływu.
Z nieświadomymi uprzedzeniami mamy do czynienia na co dzień. Czym są? Dlaczego ich doświadczamy? W czym mogą nam przeszkadzać? Czy mogą nam sprzyjać?
W trakcie tego intensywnego spotkania pokażę jak możemy odkrywać nieświadome uprzedzenia w otaczającej nas rzeczywistości. Jak, mimo negatywnej konotacji w nazwie, możemy na nich budować. Oraz co zrobić z nimi w Waszym otoczeniu biznesowym.
Czeka Was:
- Zrozumienie nieświadomych uprzedzeń (czym są i skąd się biorą).
- Strategie rozpoznawania i łagodzenia nieświadomych uprzedzeń.
- Spersonalizowane plany działania z konkretnymi krokami w celu zwalczania uprzedzeń w zespołach uczestników (do wypracowania)
- Zbudowanie świadomości i zbudowanie postaw do wspierania bardziej integracyjnego i bezstronnego środowiska pracy.
In this workshop, I want to share a different approach which starts by asking myself, “Why do I want to give feedback, what is the intention of this feedback, and what is my need to give feedback?” This is a question that initiates a meeting where we can think together about what can be done, a meeting based on dialogue.
10.45-11.15 – Networking Break
11.15-12.00 – SPEECH PL: Jolanta Kuruc – It was the most successful and friction-less SAP migration I have ever seen
“It was the most successful and smoothest SAP migration I have ever seen” – how to achieve this kind of feedback from the client’s executives, complete the project three times faster than other companies and save the client $1 million?
Attendees will leave with a new perspective and practical information on how to: – Help their organization achieve mission-critical success to achieve this – Transform pragmatically with a focus on innovation – Accelerate business results – Enhance their professional development in project management, all based on the showcasing of successful practices in action with practical examples and case studies.
11.15-12.00 – SPEECH EN: Vikram Srivastava – Why Transformations Fail?
Transformation is often a fundamental step for any organization to grow and to achieve its strategic goals. Yet, staggering 70% of all Digital Transformation initiatives do not reach their goals (Tabrizi, Lam, Girard, & Irvin, HBR March 2019). Interestingly, many leaders know the recipe of success however fail to cook effectively. Let’s gain insights in this session on how to implement and safeguard Transformations based on my 20 years of career journey.
11.15-12.00 – SPEECH PL: Paweł Zajączkowski – S, BB, X, Y, Z, a – plejada pokoleń w IT
Generational conflict is a long-standing topic involving differences between older and younger generations. While there may be hindrances to progress from the older generation, it’s important to recognize their valuable contributions. Individuals like Gordon Moore, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Greta Thunberg represent different generations with distinct perspectives and priorities. Reverse mentoring allows younger generations to teach older generations about new technologies. The theory of generational cycles suggests that history repeats itself every 80 years. We owe gratitude to the Silent Generation for their contributions. Generational differences will continue to shape the job market and IT industry, with younger generations prioritizing technology and work-life balance. Understanding and respecting different generational perspectives can lead to a more inclusive society.
Please sit back, relax and listen.

12.00-13.00 – Lunch
13.00-13.45 – SPEECH PL: Przemysław Lelewski – The crisis is coming, which means the board – pulling values off the wall!
The theme of the speech will be values and the role of the leader in a value-based management system. Using business examples, I will show how a company’s value system is transformed or built and the role leaders play in it today. During the talk, each participant will be able to do a mini-scan of their own values, based on C.W. Graves’ model, and answer the question of how their values and the people they manage have changed or could change in the present. I will give examples of the types of leaders who are most needed in organizations today to make an effective business case in a time of crisis, which is already manifesting itself in research with an understated sense of emotional security. I will show what kind of brakes a leader, an organization, may have and how this will be translated into an organization’s culture when, under the influence of economic stressors, we ‘take’ values off the walls. What happens when instead of trust, empowerment, permission for mistakes or innovation, we return to control, fault finding, blocking proactivity in favor of a restorative and reactive “why improve when it’s good”.
13.00-13.45 – SPEECH EN: Alexandre Rezende – The PMO metamorphosis: from “time-and-budget” to Global-Transformation-Office influencing and delivering the strategy
Can you imagine evolving a PMO towards a Global-Transformation-Office which is paving the path from strategy towards delivery? The aim of this presentation is to guide you to the answer “yes!” by disclosing how the PMO “metamorphosed” itself becoming responsible for 40% of company results. We will look at the steps taken to establish a global framework and change approach. Particularly, we will provide details about the integrative approach applied and how challenges were mastered.
During the presentation we will share some of our case studies and lessons learned from the perspective of a product-oriented business director (SmartFlow) and a technology partner in delivering products (Future Processing). With these two perspectives we will share some insights into Digital Product Development which combine Design Thinking Methodology with Consulting Services in order to design an optimal roadmap for shaping the final product. During the presentation, we will also address the following areas:
- Taking the right approach from the very beginning of the idea shaping or problem solving process within a budget and set time frame.
- How to deliver value for the business and the users when you need to adjust a ‘by the book’ approach to the business and market reality?
- How to take care of scalability, customer experience and meet the goals in a tight budget and timeline circumstances?
- What is technically feasible and optimal?

During the workshop we will work through topics selected together related to dealing effectively with mistakes and failures. We will do this on the basis of stories brought by the participants and using good practices of the Lean Coffee approach, supported by additional tools. Through the workshop, participants will learn in practice how to effectively solve problems in projects based on the experience of others and a structured approach and simple tools. They will be able to immediately apply the experience to their organizations.

14.15-15.00 – SPEECH PL: Norbert Grzybek – Nie gniewaj się na życie – czyli o roli odporności psychicznej w życiu i biznesie
A workshop that raises awareness of the role of conscious work on one’s mental resilience in professions that involve the risk of stress, failure, uncertain circumstances, and human nature’s resistance. It shows the directions of personal influence.
Almost any healthy person would attempt to walk along a 20cm wide, 4m long beam lying on the ground.
How many people would do the same if the beam were placed at a height of 1m? 3m? 15m? 30m?
In terms of skill, it’s exactly the same challenge, so why do fewer and fewer people dare to attempt it as the height increases?
Why do hands and legs shake and muscles freeze?
What good are experience and skills if they aren’t fully utilized in difficult situations?
What influences your ability to use your skills to the fullest under stress, time pressure, need for results, and lack of good solutions? How do you influence your mental resilience? We will explore these and several other aspects of maintaining mental well-being in the face of life/business challenges during the session.

15.45 – 16.45 – KEYNOTE SPEAKER EN: Carole Osterweil – How neuroscience changes your relationship to stress and builds your power skills
Recent research tells us: 👉 People problems are six times more challenging to resolve on projects than technical ones: people issues, 84.8%, technical project issues 15.2%. 👉 With investment on major projects running at $20 trillion per year, ‘we are flushing $13 trillion down the drain’.
We know things need improving, and we’ve seen significant changes in recent years, including the arrival of Power Skills on PMI’s Talent Triangle. But there’s loads more to do. We can make it EASIER and QUICKER to increase #projectsuccess rates by using ideas from #neuroscience.
In this interactive session Carole will draw on material from her book, Neuroscience for Project Success: Why People Behave as They do, published in 2022 by the Association for Project Management.
You’ll come away with a clear understanding of how the human brain works and new insights into yourself, your projects and your decision making, in a world characterized by stress and disorder. Act on them and you’ll rapidly transform project value and build your power skills.
