Event - Practical AI in the Workplace: Tips and Techniques for Effective Use
Address: 2130 SW Fifth Ave, Portland, OR 97201
Interested in using AI more effectively, but unsure of where to begin? Join us for a panel discussion with representatives working in Project Management, Development, Data Analytics, and Recruiting as they break down how they are using AI in their day-to-day work and what it means for the future of work as a whole. Together, we'll explore real-world applications for AI from improving delivery workflows to changing how companies’ source and assess talent. Whether you're just getting started with AI or have already integrated it in your daily routine, you'll walk away with practical strategies for AI usage, a better view of how careers change in an AI-driven landscape, and ideas for staying ahead in these rapidly evolving workplaces.
What HR Learned About Talking to Executives (And What Project Managers Can Steal From It)
HR professionals spent decades being written off as a support function before they figured out how to translate their work into language that made executives pay attention. Project managers are fighting the same battle. This session borrows directly from the HR playbook and applies it to the people and workforce data that already lives inside every project: resource capacity, skills gaps, time to productivity, and the human cost of turnover and delays. You do not need a new dashboard. You need a different way of telling the story the data is already trying to tell.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
