Be AI-Ready: What Every Project Manager Must Know to Stay Relevant

From planning and scheduling to risk assessment, communication, and delivery, today’s Project Managers are expected to do more with fewer resources, tighter timelines, and higher stakeholder expectations. Those who learn to harness AI will rise. Those who don’t will fall behind.

Join Schulich ExecEd instructor Patrick van Abbema, MBA, CMC, PMP, CBAP, CSP, for a high-impact session designed to help Project Managers understand the new realities of the profession and the capabilities they must build to stay competitive.
