From Routine to Revolution: AI and the New Project Economy
For decades, organizations have operated on a predictable rhythm – 70% of time and resources dedicated to operations, with just 30% allocated to transformative projects.
But according to world-renowned project management expert Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, this balance is about to flip dramatically.
As AI and automation increasingly absorb our routine operational tasks, we're rapidly moving toward a future where 30% of organizational energy will focus on operations and 70% will be devoted to projects and innovation.
This isn't just another incremental change – it's a fundamental paradigm shift that will transform how we work, lead, and create value.
Join us for an exclusive roundtable where we'll explore:
How the rise of AI is accelerating the transition from operations to projects
Why today's organizational structures built for maintenance must evolve for constant change
What this means for strategic alignment, budgeting, and portfolio management
How leaders can prepare their teams to thrive in the project-centric future of work
Work stops being a cycle of repetition and becomes a rhythm of creation. This is the difference between maintenance and movement, between routine and revolution.
Join other Outthinker Network strategy and innovation leaders to discuss navigating the project revolution and positioning your organization for success in this new paradigm.
Space is limited to ensure meaningful dialogue and networking opportunities!
