About Rising to the Top: Becoming A Chief Project Officer Summit
Companies know that projects are very important to their success, and making sure that projects are managed well so that they get the results that are wanted is often at the top of the executive list. One sure way for professionals to move up in their company is to show they are competent and can give results. Project management is a lively and interesting field that can lead to satisfying jobs. As technology improves, like artificial intelligence, many project management skills can still be used in a world of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and won’t be easily replaced by new technology.
So far, a lot of attention has been paid to the hard and soft skills of project management. These skills are useful, but they’re not enough for ambitious people who want to get to the top of the executive room. This summit series tries to look at things as a whole by talking about more than just hard and soft skills. It also talks about artistic, people-centered, and strategic skills. Dr. Te Wu, our CEO, wrote a study paper called “The Chief Project Officer: A New Executive Role For Turbulent Times” that was published in the Journal of Business Strategy. This is where the core comes from. This story talked about 20 important skills that people who want to get to the top should have.
There hasn’t been a place for project managers to talk about, network, and learn these important skills until now. They are needed not only to live in this moderately advanced age of technology, but also to thrive. The presentation covers a range of topics that can help you get to the top of the project management job ladder and become a Chief Project Officer. This is true whether you are just starting out or many years into your journey.
