Goodbye PMO, Welcome Chief Project Officer
With the significant increase in automation of operations and the increase in change initiatives and project work, a new role is emerging in the executive committee. Companies are beginning to consolidate responsibility for orchestrating and successfully implementing the organization’s continuous transformation and significant strategic initiatives within a single C-level executive. The chief project officer goes far beyond the traditional Project Management Officer role or the direct sponsorship of individual projects. They must push their organization toward adopting a project-driven structure and foster a collaborative and empowering culture that reaches across silos. They must also collaborate with HR to develop project-management competencies throughout the organization.

11.00 AM Kyiv time
Gunther Verheyen,
an independent Scrum Caretaker on a journey of humanizing the workplace with Scrum, author of two best-selling books about Scrum
Moving (your) Scrum Downfield
Gunther Verheyen, independent Scrum Caretaker, has 2 decades of experience with Scrum. He is pleased to observe how Scrum is adopted widely and massively in organizations around the world. Although a lot has been achieved and Scrum is needed more than ever, Gunther still fears that Scrum itself has ended up in a status-quo anyhow, which undermines its future relevance. Gunther believes that we need to start moving Scrum downfield so our organizations finally make the shift from the industrial (Taylorist) ways of working to the Agile paradigm, with Scrum as the OS of that change. It has been largely avoided so far (hence, the stand-still), but this inevitably implies re-emerging the structures around Scrum. Gunther shares his view on how to move (your) Scrum downfield. Gunther shares how to re-vers-ify your organization to restore organizational harmony while optimizing for value, upon re-imagining your Scrum. Gunther’s call to action is to start moving our individual Scrum adoptions downfield as THE bottom-up way to move Scrum itself downfield.

MBA, change catalyst and organisational bridge builder, founder of KmK & Partners, specialising in advisory and project management in organisational transformation and change management programmes
How to build intentional plasticity into the organisational fabric?
In today’s world staying ahead of the competition is a wicked problem. Have you ever felt that you or your organisation are behind? Playing catch-up? Change is people-driven and McKinsey research states that people will change their mindset and behaviour and thus, a transformation initiative will be successful, if it includes a focus on role modelling and fostering understanding and conviction, as well as developing talent and skills and with a reinforcement with formal mechanisms. Karen-Marie argues that we need to look beyond this, dig deeper into the organisational fabric and look at how it is construed and how the components work together. Based on her original framework on intentional cultural plasticity, she outlines the building blocks of an environment where the focus is equally on adding business value for the organisation and growing human resilience for the individual. Inspiration is guaranteed, building the solution is up to you!
3.00 PM Kyiv time
Lenka Pincot,
Chief of Staff to the CEO at Project Management Institute
Perpetual transformation: how to thrive when transformation became a new norm?
With the steep rise of emerging technologies, especially generative AI, the perpetual transformation became a new norm. Organizations need to evolve constantly to keep the pace, the call for organizational agility can’t get any stronger. Lenka will share PMI insight and her experience of impact of transformation on the project management profession and how to get ready for the future challenges.
5.00 PM Kyiv time

How AI will Transform Project Management
Although AI is yet to be a standard tool in the world of projects, Gartner predicts that by 2030, 80 percent of project management tasks will be run by AI, powered by big data, machine learning, and natural language processing. When this next generation of tools is widely adopted, we will see radical changes in how projects are managed in many industries. In this keynote, Ricardo will discuss their featured new article on HBR about AI. In an engaging and future-oriented discussion, they will share six aspects of project management that AI will disrupt and how project managers can envision the future of work using AI and other emerging technologies.
