PHILADELPHIA-Wednesday 14 November 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Project Management Institute (PMI) today unveiled three
thought leadership reports focused on navigating the new normal of
disruptive technologies. The new reports were released during the
organization’s seventh annual PMO Symposium® in Washington D.C., where
more than 650 of the world’s top project management office (PMO)
executives, organizational leaders and senior decision makers have
gathered to discuss how disruptive technologies—such as cloud solutions,
internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI)—have changed
the way organizations do business and transformed entire industries.
Throughout
2018, PMI and partners, have been exploring disruptive technologies and
how organizations are using them to achieve their goals in these
changing times. While no one single factor can drive benefits
realization, leading organizations understand that proven project
management practices lead to greater success and less waste.
Produced
in partnership with Accenture, PMI’s report — Forging the Future:
Evolving with Disruptive Technologies — looks at creating a culture of
innovation through embracing disruption. This capstone report looks at
how rapid advances in digital technology are fundamentally redefining
our world. To build their future, organizations must be willing to
actively interrupt the status quo, the report says. Through embracing
these emerging technologies and new ways of working, the PMO will
continue to evolve as a strategic collaborator that drives strategy
delivery and execution.
The
second report, The Next Generation PMO, written in partnership with
Capgemini Government Solutions, explores the impact of disruptive
technologies on the next generation PMO through analysis of a survey
with PMO directors and discussion with functional business managers
across a variety of industries. As PMOs are charged with implementing
transformative technologies, the most successful ones are also
transforming themselves to drive value creation in new ways. The PMO
that evolves to become the organizational engine that successfully
bridges strategy design and delivery will bring value to the
organization.
The
C-Suite Outlook: How Disruptive Technologies are Redefining the Role of
Project Management, written in partnership with Forbes Insights,
examines the role the C-suite should play in supporting digital
transformation and how organizations can foster a culture of constant
change. The report evaluates the results of a survey of 537 executives
across the globe about the effect of disruptive technologies on people,
projects, work, culture and strategy. It concludes that project leaders
must take on roles that demand greater accountability around the full
value delivery landscape, which includes all approaches to project
delivery – predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, hybrid and next
practices.
The
insights and key findings of the thought leadership reports were
released during a morning plenary session at PMO Symposium’s® second
day. The session ended with a PMI-hosted panel discussion on disruptive
technologies, featuring representatives from SAP America, Inc. and JP
Morgan Chase.
The
three reports were part of a larger thought leadership series from PMI
on disruptive technologies and how organizations are using them to
achieve their goals in these changing times, including PMI’s 2018 Pulse
of the Profession® in-depth reports focused on the topic of disruptive
technology: Next Practices: Maximizing the Benefits of Disruptive
Technologies on Projects and The Project Manager of the Future:
Developing Digital-Age Project Management Skills to Thrive in Disruptive
Times. These two reports look at PMI market research on the impact of
disruptive technology and the project management profession. Next
Practices focuses on how organizations are using project management
practices to survive in times of change, while The Project Manager of
the Future focuses on the skills that project managers need to succeed
in the digital age.
