Looking towards the future

It isn’t often that the organizers of an event enjoy it as much as the participants. But when you have stalwarts of the industry discussing the ‘Future of Work’ and ‘How to survive as an employee in the AI-led world’, the event turns into a benchmark to be followed.

There continue to be significant technological breakthroughs impacting the nature of work, and we are likely to see the impact of several of these in the coming decade. Hyper connectivity coupled with superior computing resources are allowing IOT devices to deliver path-breaking advances, leading to a quantum shift in how people interact with technology and in turn, deliver projects.

Tasks which are routine in nature are the most threatened by the AI revolution. This allows a higher focus and resource availability for innovation and having the best tools to manage innovation at hand certainly provides a differentiator for PMI members and credential holders. At the same time, technological advances open new avenues to achieve team synergies across locations and collaborate to an extent never before possible.

I would like to take this moment to congratulate all the recipients of the annual inaugural PMI UAE Chapter awards. The awardees have received a commemorative trophy, a certificate, a cash voucher as well as a free Chapter membership renewal voucher. We shall be declaring the categories for next year’s Chapter awards soon and invite all members and volunteers to aim for them.

At the PMI UAE Chapter, we strive to have such relevant topics and speakers at all events, be it the Annual Gathering held this month or new member events held regularly. We now have members reaching out to volunteer as speakers at the events. If you would like to contribute likewise, please reach out to us at volunteers@pmiuae.org

For any comments, ideas, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to communicate with us on info@pmiuae.org

Yours,

Laila Faridoon
President - UAE Chapter
