As we continue to move towards increasing digital transformation across the world of work (the theme from last year’s Eden seminar), spurred on by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, there is a dawning realisation that many of the
roles and responsibilities of traditional jobs (project, programme and portfolio manager included) will disappear, subsumed by the continued integration of
artificial and augmented intelligence (AAI) that can skyrocket performance efficiencies through, for example, the use of advanced cyber physical systems. Where does this leave the next generation of project managers? What will the post Covid-19 and post AAI role of the project manager need to embody if it is to stay relevant and valued by the orgaisations of tomorrow?
EDEN2020 looks to some possible dimensions that will differentiate next generation project managers: mindfulness, happiness, spirituality, intelligence, wisdom and passion. The seminar sessions will include more general research topics on contemporary topics as well as on the special theme for this year.
The seminar has two aims:
- To provide a forum for doctoral students in project management from Europe and around the world, where they can share experiences in studying project management, exchanging information on:
- research and theoretical paradigms appropriate for project management
- research methodologies appropriate for research in project management
- literature on project management to inform their studies
-
To explore with doctoral students new directions and new approaches for research in the field of project .management.
