“Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez’s Powered by Projects marks a shift from the mechanistic philosophy of the industrial age to the organic paradigm of the digital era—and from hierarchical bureaucracy to self-organization.” —Zhang Ruimin, Founder of Haier
We now work in a project-based economy. Constant transformation is the new norm, and projects and initiatives are now the primary ways organizations drive value, strategic growth, and innovation.
Agile organizations alone are no longer keeping up. In the Transformation Age, companies need a more advanced operating model—the Project-Driven Organization (PDO)—to turn strategy into results. Without strengthening the three dimensions at the heart of Powered by Projects—organization, leadership, and value creation— transformation success rates will not improve.
On January 20, Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, the leading global authority on project-first cultures and author of Powered by Projects, will join his editor, Dave Lievens, to discuss why project management capabilities have become essential to every leader’s toolkit—and how organizations must evolve to deliver change consistently.
They will explore how to:
• Shift decision-making closer to teams to remove transformation bottlenecks
• Prioritize initiatives and sponsor them actively to accelerate impact
• Build internal “transformation muscles” across the organization
• Use project-specific metrics to align teams with strategic outcomes
• Leverage project analytics and AI for predictive, real-time decisions
• Develop the next generation of leaders equipped for the Project Economy
We hope you can join us to learn how to thrive in an economy where projects are the path to success.
