Location: Trinity City Hotel,  Pearse St, Dublin

Ireland Chapter PMI long-time sponsor Aspira is running a free-to-attend lunchtime PM event on the theme of transformation, both Personal and Digital for members of the Ireland Chapter.

 

Genuine transformation is not a quick-fix. It requires dedication, planning and the ability to cope with setbacks.  Rob Cullen from Dublin Chamber has been through such a personal transformation.  His conscious commitment to change has delivered both dramatic weight loss and lifestyle change. 

 

At our Lunch & Learn event on Thurs June 27th in Trinity City Hotel on Pearse St, Rob will first share his story of personal transformation, and then President of the Ireland Chapter PMI Pat Lucey will then interview him – with audience participation! 

 

The Q&A will explore how the steps involved in personal transformation mirror those required for an organization to transform, learning the many lessons that can be applied by organizations as they seek to become more agile and lean (pun intended!). 

 

Lunch served from 12:30, the speaking slot starts at 1pm, and all will be wrapped up before 2pm.  Pat Lucey will stick around afterwards to chat with Chapter members who have any ideas or feedback to share.

 

Please register for the event below.

Venue: Iveagh Gardens Hotel Dublin

'Artificial Intelligence - Future of Project Management' by Eoin Mulhall, PwC

followed by:

'Artificial Intelligence vrs Emotional Intelligence: Why we need both' by John McGrath, TUDublin.

Advances in AI are shaping the future workplace by driving disruption in the way we work and competitive advantage across all sectors and occupations - including project management. However, AI is yet to be embraced by the PM community. This presentation is going to focus on practical ways AI can enhance project management and share some tips for organisations on where to start.

 People are living longer but companies are dying at an alarming rate. AI and Data is transforming technology and changing how we live and work.  We are moving from knowledge scarcity to knowledge abundance. We have never been so connected but people are so lonely. Where is the balance?
