With close to 40 members in attendance despite Storm Dennis, last Tuesday night鈥檚 North East Branch 鈥楶rojecting the Future鈥� Event was lively and exhilarating.

The event had a friendly and open atmosphere and I was impressed by how far people had travelled to be there just to get involved!

Having stressed from the outset that the session was to be 鈥渁s interactive as possible鈥�, no further encouragement was required 鈥� indeed members who鈥檇 travelled from across the region and who represented many different sectors and career stages provided thoughtful contributions and robust challenge in a lively session that was a joy to attend.

From my perspective, a high point in the evening was an uninterrupted period of at least 15minutes of discussion between attendees themselves 鈥� contending certain ideas relating to technology, 4IR, AI, and the Project Profession.

A low point may have been simply that we did not have more time!

鈥�听Challenge around the 鈥淧M 1.0 to PM 4.0鈥� model

o听Quite robust challenge from academics/senior PMs in the room

o听Facts relating to PM1.0 and information on the Polaris missile programme (research required)

鈥⑻�Discussion about whether project managers do de facto deliver/manage change
