What makes projects interesting, challenging, and distinct, is that they are accomplished by the use of resources, including... HUMANS. It's important for us as project leaders to understand why people behave as they do.

In this lively conversation with thought leader and author Carole Osterweil, we explore why this is INCREASINGLY important in the age of AI.

Shai Davidov, a longtime friend and an Associate Professor at the Heriot-Watt School at the Edinburgh Business School (Scotland) has a conversation with me in which we cover sustainability in PM but also venture into ChatGPT (AI in general) and other changes coming to our profession.  Along the way, we have quite a few laughs!

This is episode zero - just the beginning of the beginning.  In this podcast, we'll take project managers past the beginning of the beginning, through the end of the beginning, the beginning of the end, and the end of the end.  We will help you think far, think fair, and think broadly about your projects - to help you become a project leader, more aligned with your organization's vision and mission, and more able to provide true project success.  This is beyond what most project managers do, and will set you - and your organization - well beyond project management for true project success.
