Overview

The business landscape has irrevocably shifted. Constant transformation has become the norm. Projects and initiatives are now the primary ways organizations drive value, strategic growth, and innovation. In this new paradigm--the project economy--new approaches are needed for sustained success. Modern project management tools and capabilities are essential, but they are only the beginning. Powered by Projects offers a bold new blueprint. Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez shows listeners how to embrace the deep changes in leadership style and organizational structures necessary for projects and initiatives to flourish. Exploring the practical strategies and deep case studies of project-driven organizations, you will learn to decentralize decision-making to empower people to break through the bottlenecks that slow down transformation; prioritize ruthlessly and sponsor actively to ensure resources are directed to high-value initiatives; develop your organization's transformation muscles to remain resilient, adaptive, and relevant; measure success with project-specific metrics; integrate project analytics and AI to support real-time decision-making, predictive planning, and risk reduction; and cultivate the next generation of project leaders who will drive the implementation of your initiatives faster and with higher impact.
