The Future of Project Management
Accelerating technologies, from sensor data feeding AI to augmented reality, are changing how projects are planned and delivered. This keynote frames what that means for project leaders navigating higher expectations for sustainability, efficiency, and accountability.
Ross Dawson has worked extensively on envisaging and creating the future of project management. Value creation is shifting toward networked platforms, and organizations are reshaping themselves around open, agile, flexible structures. Project managers sit at the heart of that shift.
Keynote overview
- Accelerating technologies. Sensor data feeding AI and augmented reality are changing how projects are planned, monitored, and delivered.
- Rising expectations. Sustainability, efficiency, and accountability are now baseline expectations rather than differentiators.
- Networked value. Value creation is shifting to networked platforms rather than single organizations delivering alone.
- Open, agile structures. Organizations are reshaping around open, agile, and flexible structures suited to a dynamic environment.
- Humans + AI in delivery. AI agents take on planning, monitoring, and reporting, while the project leader’s judgment and stakeholder role rise in value.

Who it is for
