Upcoming Webinars
Fueling Project Success through Burnout Prevention
Feb 24, 2026 9:00:00 AM EST (UTC-5)

Ignite Your Curiosity Redefining Success for Business Analysts by Challenging the Status Quo

Spotlighting Bias: A PM's Compass for the AI-Powered World
Feb 26, 2026 9:00:00 AM EST (UTC-5)
This webinar explores the critical, yet often overlooked, intersection of human cognitive bias and artificial intelligence in modern project management. While cognitive biases—those systematic errors in thinking that affect our decisions—are not new to project professionals, the rise of AI, particularly generative AI, has amplified their impact. When AI systems are trained on biased data or developed with biased assumptions, they can automate and scale these errors, leading to flawed forecasts, resource misallocation, and project failures. In generative AI projects, this bias can manifest as misrepresentations, hallucinations, or unethical outputs, directly impacting the quality and reliability of the final product.
Transforming Business With Agentic AI
Feb 26, 2026 11:00:00 AM EST (UTC-5)
Agentic AI is reshaping business operations by employing autonomous systems that learn, adapt, and optimize processes independently of human input. This session examines the essential differences between traditional AI agents and Agentic AI, emphasizing their significance for project professionals overseeing digital transformation initiatives.

Crisis Leadership: Embrace, Adapt, Thrive!
Feb 12, 2026 12:00:00 AM EST (UTC-5)
Crisis. The very word strikes fear and panic, often accompanied by sudden, unexpected events and a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Every project will have challenges, but a crisis is another level that is disruptive, driven by a sense of urgency, and high-impact, which can unsettle even the experienced PM and derail their project. The good news is that recognizing a crisis and utilizing the 3 C's of crisis leadership principles and responses can enable you as a program and project manager to embrace, adapt, and even thrive (EAT) in a crisis. Join this webinar to learn practical strategies to effectively lead your project team through a crisis.
