Technology, Internet of Things (IOT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), coupled with the advances that have occurred in neuroscience. Project managers will need to understand how to harness the power of these two technologies as it relates to project management.
Tools will start to use IOT and AI. Those project managers that can understand how to use the tools and the technology to do mundane work and analysis, will give the project manager time to do value add on the project. Those that understand how to do this will flourish.
Along with this, neuroscience is understanding more how the brain works. There is a capacity to see how the brain functions when the project manager is leading, doing tasks, interacting with others, etc. Neuroscience will help the project manager that keeps himself or herself up to date to lead in a manner that helps those on the project team.
By harnessing technology along with neuroscience will make the project manager a valued asset over those that do not.
