    So, we look at some common pitfalls that project managers should watch out for, and how can they overcome these challenges to ensure successful AI integration.
  • AI initiatives often require significant cultural changes within an organization.
    So, we consider what strategies project managers can use to foster a culture that embraces AI and innovation.
  • Governance is crucial for ensuring ethical and responsible AI use. It also needs to be a part of the organization’s culture.
    So, we consider the steps that project managers can take to establish and maintain effective AI governance frameworks.
  • It’s vital for good governance that project professionals can track the return on an AI initiative
    We look at how project managers can help businesses measure the success of AI implementations and user adoption.
  • As AI continues to evolve, it can be a big challenge to keep up-to-date with technological change.
    So, we end by thinking about how project managers can stay relevant and ensure they are leading, not lagging, in AI initiatives.
