Project Management Happy Hour
110 - Are you defining project success wrong? Most PM's do! With PMI's Dave Garrett

Project Management Happy Hour

Are you defining project success the wrong way? Most project managers are — at least according to PMI's Dave Garrett. Project Management Happy Hour hosts Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson sit down with Dave — Senior Advisor at the Project Management Institute (PMI) and co-founder of ProjectManagement.com — for a frank and real conversation about PMI's new definition of project success to talk about how realistic it is, and what it means for the future of our profession. For decades, project success was judged by the “iron triangle” — scope, schedule, and budget. But PMI has officially redefined it: “A successful project is one that delivers value worth the effort and expense.” Dave explains how this updated definition shifts the focus from checking boxes to delivering outcomes that truly matter — and how every PM can start measuring success through value creation instead of rigid constraints. The discussion digs into PMI's new M.O.R.E. framework — a practical mindset for modern project leaders: M – Manage Perceptions: Build trust and alignment with stakeholders. O – Own Success: Don't just deliver; ensure the value lands. R – Relentlessly Reassess: Constantly re-evaluate priorities and adapt to change. E – Expand Perspective: See the bigger picture across business strategy, customers, and society. Dave also shares lessons from his early startup days building Gantthead.com, the dot-com crash, and how those lessons apply in today's AI-driven project world. You'll hear how the rise of automation is making project management more human, pushing PMs to lead through empathy, influence, and strategic insight rather than process checklists. If you've ever struggled with the question, “Was my project really a success?”  this episode will give you a fresh, empowering way to answer it. Key Takeaways PMI's official definition of project success now centers on value, not just time, cost, and scope. The M.O.R.E. mindset helps PMs evolve beyond administrators into strategic leaders. AI will augment, not replace, project managers — freeing them to focus on human connection and business impact. “Success” is contextual: a delayed project that delivers exceptional value can still be a win.

The Truth Behind Fake AI Projects: Understanding AI Washing

5 Minutes Podcast with Ricardo Vargas

In this episode, Ricardo discusses AI washing, a growing trend where organizations falsely claim to use artificial intelligence. Similar to greenwashing, AI washing occurs when companies exaggerate their AI capabilities to attract investors or appear innovative. In reality, many so-called AI systems are just basic automation or rule-based tools. This practice creates serious risks, including loss of credibility, legal issues, and project failure. Vargas highlights warning signs: flashy storytelling over science, unrealistic promises, lack of true AI experts, neglect of data quality, and poor governance. He explains that real AI projects require transparency, solid data, ethics, and humility—reminding project managers to avoid overpromising and to focus on genuine, data-driven value instead of hype.

Neste episódio, Ricardo discute o AI washing, uma tendência crescente em que organizações alegam falsamente usar inteligência artificial. Semelhante ao greenwashing, o AI washing ocorre quando as empresas exageram suas capacidades de IA para atrair investidores ou parecer inovadoras. Na realidade, muitos dos chamados sistemas de IA são apenas ferramentas básicas de automação ou baseadas em regras. Essa prática cria sérios riscos, incluindo perda de credibilidade, questões legais e fracasso de projetos. Vargas destaca os sinais de alerta: narrativas chamativas em detrimento da ciência, promessas irrealistas, falta de verdadeiros especialistas em IA, negligência com a qualidade dos dados e governança deficiente. Ele explica que projetos reais de IA exigem transparência, dados sólidos, ética e humildade — lembrando os gerentes de projeto de evitar promessas exageradas e focar em valor genuíno, baseado em dados, em vez de exageros.

Room 101 by 利世民

楓葉債(Maple Bonds)熱潮指外國企業在加拿大發行、以加元計價的債券。過去一直是邊緣市場,近來卻成為跨國企業,尤其是美國企業的熱門融資門路。2025 年首九個月,楓葉債的發行規模已達 163 億加元,不僅超越去年全年,更刷新了歷史紀錄。楓葉債為何突然爆紅?首先,加拿大央行(BoC)比美國更快、更早減息。9 月 17 日,央行基準利率已降至 2.5%,而聯儲仍維持較高水平。息差直接改變了跨國企業的計算——美國公司若在加拿大發債,再透過利率掉期將加元資金換回美元,總成本比在本土融資還便宜。其次,2025年1月1日起,楓葉債正式納入 FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index。這意味著加拿大本土基金若要緊貼基準,必須買入楓葉債。被動資金的機械需求,使得發行市場瞬間「由冷轉熱」。另外,對加拿大機構投資者而言,高質而穩定回報的資產選擇不多,楓葉債亦應運而生。例如今年 6 月,美國的 NextEra Energy 一舉發行 20 億加元楓葉債,成為加拿大史上最大規模的企業楓葉債之一。對加拿大投資人來說,這是世界級信用的加元資產;對 NextEra 而言,則是一次划算的融資操作。另一個例子是 花旗銀行的回歸。沉寂多年後,花旗選擇再度進入加元市場,這不僅是套利,更是戰略性舉動,傳遞出 Maple Bonds 已經具備深度與流動性,不再是臨時性的「副線市場」。但在楓葉債熱潮的背後,整體經濟環境其實是相對惡劣;加拿大央行之所以減息,其中一個原因是經濟數據惡化:就業市場疲弱:7 月與 8 月共流失 10 萬個職位,失業率升至 7.1%。出口暴跌:第二季出口重挫 27%,貿易戰成為主要元兇。PMI 低迷:已連續八個月低於榮枯線,9 月更跌至 47.7。在這樣的背景下,維持低利率幾乎是唯一選擇,與此同時加元匯率亦受壓,加元兌美元徘徊在 1 美元兌 1.39 加元的四個月低位。對美國的債券發行人來說,弱加元帶來更划算的融資與更穩定的掉期成本;對加拿大當局而言,低匯率維持了出口競爭力,甚至吸引美國邊境消費者來加購物。更重要是,加拿大極高槓桿的地產按揭市場對息口極為敏感。所以在可見將來,加拿大有很大機會長期地維持低息和弱加元的情況。但低假以時日,弱加元的寬鬆政策,只會進一步加劇「收入停滯、生活成本上升」的滯脹格局。 This is a public episode.

中國製造業第六個月告急!5000億政策金融工具難救「內捲」死局

中國製造業面臨嚴峻挑戰 。最新的9月份採購經理指數(PMI)繼續低於50(本月為49.8),這已是連續第六個月處於榮枯線以下,反映製造業處於收縮狀態 。中國製造業和整體經濟承壓的主要原因包括:* 內需不足:中國自身無法單靠內需來消化產能 。* 去槓桿化未解:房地產泡沫爆破已四年多至五年,但去槓桿化情況仍未解決,導致內需無法提振 。* 貿易戰的衝擊 ,出口難以增加,且多國(如美國)開始有貿易防範心態 。發改委公布推出5000億人民幣政策性金融措施,旨在促進幫助地方在基建和金融服務業上「重新啟動機器」。中央政府明顯不願將地方債務負擔轉移到中央,所以資金的性質是貸款,而不是中央撥款給地方派發財政補貼。雖然發改委稱5000億人民幣政策性金融措施屬於「準財政措施」,但由於還錢的主體是地方政府而非官員個人,且權位變動不確定,地方官員傾向於看重眼前的利益,而非長遠的問責性,這使得5000億的「借款」設定難以有效制約貪腐和資金濫用,亦難免造成以下問題:* 貪腐風險:地方官員可能批專案向中央借錢,承辦商將錢放入口袋,官員收受回佣,最終地方政府還不了錢,官員卻可能已轉移資產至海外 。* 重複失敗經驗:這屬於當局最擅長但效用有限的「堆砌鋼筋水泥」的凱因斯政策,如2009年「四萬億」措施的長期效果不佳 。中國社會結構性與長期性挑戰除了經濟數據,中國經濟還面臨什麼長期結構性問題?* 城鄉差距巨大:一、二線城市先富起來,但仍有十億八億人處於相對低收入、低教育水平,在當前世界環境中缺乏競爭力 。* 中低收入群體資產被鎖死:房地產泡沫破裂後,許多在中低線城市購房的中低收入群體資產被鎖在其中 。* 「低端人口」問題:政府必須限制農村貧窮人口自由流動,因大規模流竄會被視為社會動亂的潛在因素 。* 年輕人就業艱難:大學畢業生就業情況也很有問題,社會流動性大減。* Q7:中央與地方的矛盾對經濟政策執行有何影響?中國根本困境在於社會存在嚴重的扭曲,加上中央與地方的矛盾,使得中國一直以來無法突破「內捲」的問題。 This is a public episode.

In this episode, Ricardo questions whether Agile is still sufficient in the face of the speed of artificial intelligence. Created in 2001, the Agile Manifesto introduced short iterations and continuous learning to address the unpredictability of software development. However, today, tools become obsolete in days, raising questions about the relevance of 2- to 4-week cycles or a quarterly backlog. Vargas doesn't criticize Agile—on the contrary, he recognizes its essential role for organizations in dealing with volatility. The point is to reflect on how to apply it intelligently in the face of the rapidity of AI: smaller microcycles? More discipline? An "Agile 2.0" that includes governance, ethics, and social responsibility? The challenge is adapting to the current intensity of change. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Our strategists Michelle Weaver and Adam Jonas join analyst Christopher Snyder to discuss the most important themes that emerged from the Morgan Stanley Annual Industrials Conference in Laguna Beach.Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Thematic Strategist.Christopher Snyder: I'm Chris Snyder, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Multi-Industry Analyst. Adam Jonas: And I'm Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's Embodied AI Strategist.Michelle Weaver: We recently concluded Morgan Stanley's annual industrials conference in Laguna Beach, California, and wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways.It's Tuesday, September 16th at 10am in New York.I want to set the stage for our conversation. The overall tone at the conference was fairly similar to last year with many companies waiting for a broader pickup. And I'd flag three different themes that really emerged from the conference. So first, AI. AI is incredibly important. It appeared in the vast majority of fireside conversations. And companies were talking about AI from both the adopter and the enabler angle. Second theme on the macro, overall companies remain in search of a reacceleration. They pointed to consistently expansionary PMIs or a PMI above 50, a more favorable interest rate environment and greater clarity on tariffs as the key macro conditions for renewed momentum. And then the last thing that came up repeatedly was how are companies going to react to tariffs? And I would say companies overall were fairly constructive on their ability to mitigate the margin impact of tariffs with many talking about both leveraging pricing power and supply chain shifts to offset those impacts. So, Chris, considering all this, the wait for an inflection came up across a number of companies. What were some of your key takeaways on multis, on the macro front? Christopher Snyder: The commentary was stable to modestly improving, and that was really consistent across all of these companies. There are, you know, specific verticals where things are getting better. I would call out data center as one. Non-res construction, as another one, implant manufacturing as one. And there were certain categories where we are seeing deterioration – residential HVAC, energy markets, and agriculture.But we came away more constructive on the cycle because things are stable, if not modestly improving into a rate cut cycle. The concern going in was that we would hear about deteriorating trends and a rate cut would be needed just to stabilize the market. So, we do think that this backdrop is supportive for better industrial growth into 2026.We have been positive on the project or CapEx side of the house. It feels like strength there is improving. We've been more cautious on the short cycle production side of the house. But we are starting to see signs of rate of change. So, when we look into [20]26 and [20]27, we think U.S. industrials are poised for decade high growth. Michelle Weaver: You've had a thesis for a while now that U.S. reshoring is going to be incredibly important and that it's a $10 trillion opportunity. Can you unpack that number? What are some recent data points supporting that and what did you learn at the conference? Christopher Snyder: Some of the recent data points that support this view is U.S. manufacturing construction starts are up 3x post Liberation Day. So, we're seeing companies invest. This is also coming through in commercial industrial lending data, which continues to push higher almost every week and is currently at now record high levels. So, there's a lot of reasons for companies not to invest right now. There's a lot of uncertainty around policy. But seeing that willingness to invest through all of the uncertainty is a big positive because as that uncertainty lifts, we think more projects will come off the sidelines and be unlocked. So, we see positive rate of change on that. What I think is often lost in the reassuring conversation is that this has been happening for the last five years. The U.S. lost share of global CapEx from 2000 when China entered the World Trade Organization almost every year till 2019 when Trump implemented his first wave of tariffs. Since then, the U.S. has taken about 300 basis points of global CapEx share over the last five years, and that's a lot on a $30 trillion CapEx base. So, I think the debate here should be: Can this continue? And when I look at Trump policy, both the tariffs making imports more expensive, but also the incentives lowering the cost of domestic production – we do think these trends are stable. And I always want to stress that this is a game of increments. It's not that the U.S. is going to get every factory. But we simply believe the U.S. is better positioned to get the incremental factory over the next 20 years relative to the prior 20. And the best point is that the baseline growth here is effectively zero. Michelle Weaver: And how does power play into the reshoring story? AI and data centers are generating huge demand for power that well outstrip supply. Is there a risk that companies that want to reshore are not able to do so because of the power constraints?Christopher Snyder: It's a great question. I think it's part of the reason that this is moving more slowly. The companies that sell this power equipment tend to prioritize the data center customers given their scale in magnitude of buying. But ultimately, we think this is coming and it's a big opportunity for U.S. power to extend the upcycle.Manufacturing accounts for 26 percent of the electricity in the country. Data center accounts for about 5 percent. So, if the industrial economy returns to growth, there will be a huge pull on the grid; and I view it as a competitive advantage. If you think about the future of U.S. manufacturing, we're simply taking labor out and replacing it with electricity. That is a phenomenal trade off for the U.S. And a not as positive trade off for a lot of low-cost regions who essentially export labor to the world. I'm sure Adam will have more to say about that. Michelle Weaver: And Adam, I want to bring robotics and humanoid specifically into this conversation as the U.S.' technological edge is a big part of the reshoring story. So how do humanoids fit into reshoring? How much would they cost to use and how could they make American manufacturing more attractive? Adam Jonas: Humanoid robots – we're talking age agentic robots that make decisions from themselves autonomously due to the dual purpose in the military. You know, dual purpose aspect of it makes it absolutely necessary to onshore the technologies.At the same time, humanoid robots actually make it possible to onshore those technologies. Meaning you need; we're not going to be able to replicate manufacturing and onshore manufacturing the way it's currently done in China with their environmental practices and their labor – availability of affordable cheap human labor.Autonomous robots are both the cause of onshoring. And the effect of onshoring at the same time, and it's going to transform every industry. The question isn't so much as which industry will autonomous robots, including humanoids impact? It's what will it not.And we have not yet been able to find anything that it would. When you think about cost to use – we think by 2040 we get to a point where to Chris's point, the marginal cost of work will be some factor of electricity, energy, and some depreciation of that physical plant, or the physical robot itself. And we come up with a, a range of scenarios where centered on around $5 per hour. If that can replace two human workers at $25 an hour, that can NPV to around $200,000 of NPV per humanoid. That's discounting back 15 years from 2040.Michelle, there's 160 million people in the U.S. labor market, so if you just substituted 1 percent of that or 1.6 million people out of the U.S. Labor pool. 1.6 million times $200,000 NPV; that's $320 billion of value, which is worth, well, quite a lot. Quite a lot of money to a lot of companies that are working on this. So, when we get asked, what are we watching, well, in terms of the bleeding edge of the robot revolution, we're watching the Sino-U.S. competition. And I prefer to call it competition. And we're also watching the terra cap companies, the Mag 7 type companies that are quite suddenly and recently and very, very significantly going after physical AI and robotics talent. And increasingly even manufacturing talent. So again, to circle back to Chris's point, if you want evidence of reshoring and manufacturing and advanced manufacturing in this country, look at some of these TMT and tech and AI companies in California. And look at, go on their hiring website and watch all the manufacturing and robotics people that they're trying to hire; and pay a lot of money to do so. And that might be an interesting indicator of where we're going.Michelle Weaver: I want to dig in a little bit more there. We're seeing a lot of the cutting-edge tech coming out of China. Is the U.S. going to be able to catch up?Adam Jonas: Uh, I don't know. I don't know. But I would say what's our alternative. We either catch up enough to compete or we're up for grabs. OK?I would say from our reading and working closely with our team in China, that in many aspects of supply chain, manufacturing, physical AI, China is ahead. And with the passage of time, they are increasingly ahead. We estimate, and we can't be precise here, that China's lead on the U.S. would not only last three to five years, but might even widen three to five years from now. May even widen at an accelerating rate three to five years from now.And so, it brings into play is what kind of environment and what kind of regulatory, and policy decisions we made to help kind of level the playing field and encourage the right kind of manufacturing. We don't want to encourage trailing edge, Victorian era manufacturing in the U.S. We want to encourage, you know, to skate to where the puck is going technology that can help improve our world and create a sustainable abundance rather than an unsustainable one. And so, we're watching China very, very closely. It makes us a little bit; makes me a little bit kind of nervous when we – if we see the government put the thumb on the scale too much.But it's invariably going to happen. You're going to have increased involvement of whichever administration it is in order to kind of set policies that can encourage innovation, education of our young people, repurposing of labor, you know. All these people making machines in this country now. They might get, there may be a displacement over a number of years, if not a generation.But we need those human bodies to do other things in this economy as well. So, we; I don't want to give the impression at all in our scenarios that we don't need people anymore. Michelle Weaver: What are the opportunities and the risks that you see for investors as robotics converges with this broader U.S. manufacturing story? Adam Jonas: Well, Michelle, we see both opportunities and risks. There are the opportunities that you can measure in terms of what portion of global GDP of [$]115 trillion could you look at. I mean, labor alone is $40 trillion.And if you really make humanoid that can do the work of two workers, guess what? You're not going to stop at [$]40 trillion. You're going to go beyond that. You might go multiple beyond that. Talking about the world before AI, robotics and humanoid is like talking about the world before electricity. Or talking about business before the internet. We don't think we're exaggerating, but the proof will be in the capital formation. And that's where we hope we can be of assistance to our clients working together on a variety of investment ideas. But the risks will come and it is our professional responsibility, if not our moral responsibility, to work with our partners across research to talk about those risks. Michelle, if we have labor displacement, go too quickly, there's serious problems. And if you don't, if you don't believe me, go look at, look at you know, the French Revolution or the Industrial Revolution, or Age of Enlightenments. Ages of scientific enlightenment frequently cohabitate times of great social and political turmoil as well. And so, we think that these risks must be seen in parallel if we want to bring forth technologies that can make us more human rather than less human. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a little preachy, but if you studied robots and labor all day long, it does have that effect on you. So, Michelle, how do you see innovation priorities changing for industrials and investors in this environment?Michelle Weaver: I think it's huge as we're seeing AI and technology broadly diffuse across different segments of the market, it's only becoming more important. About two-thirds of companies at the conference mentioned AI in some way, shape, or form. We know that from transcripts. And we're seeing them continue to integrate AI into their businesses. They're trying to go beyond what we've just seen at the initial edge. So, for example, if I think about what was going on within AI adoption a couple years ago, it was largely adding a chat bot to your website that's then able to handle a lot of customer service inquiries. Maybe you could reduce the labor there a little bit. Now we're starting to see a lot more business specific use cases. So, for example, with an airline, an airline company is using AI to most optimally gate different planes as they're landing to try and reduce connection times. They know which staff needs to go to another flight to connect, which passengers need to move to another flight. They're able to do that much more efficiently. You're seeing a lot on AI being adopted within manufacturing to make manufacturing processes a lot more seamless. So, I think innovation is only going to continue to become more important to not only industrials, but broadly the entire market as well.Clearly the industry is being shaped by adaptability, collaboration, and a focus on innovation. So, Chris, Adam, thank you both for taking the time to talk. Adam Jonas: Always a pleasure. Michelle.Christopher Snyder: Thank you for having us on. Michelle Weaver: And to our listeners, thanks for listening.

In this conversation, Mel Bost, author of Understanding Project Practices and Processes, shares his insights from Chapter Four of the book, which focuses on PMOs and project performance. He explains why PMOs often fail to deliver consistent value, even when they are not technically “broken.” He highlights overlooked factors, from alignment with organizational strategy to a lack of meaningful performance measures, that contribute to slow underperformance. The discussion underscores that without proactive adjustments, a PMO can continue to operate while its value to the business quietly diminishes.

With fresh economic data and anticipated interest rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve, the market has a lot to look forward to as the back-to-school season ushers in a time of renewed focus. In this episode, host John Bryson sits down with Matt and Emily for a timely check-in as summer draws to a close.They delve into the recent uptick in global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) readings and how it might signal shifts in market sentiment. They also explore the current phase of U.S. earnings growth and discuss their strategies for stocks and bonds in the current market landscape. Here's a glimpse into the conversation.1 What opportunities do you see in bonds and equities?Emily: We favor high-quality bonds like investment-grade corporates, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds due to elevated yields and potential duration benefits. In stocks, we think it's time to shift from riskier market segments to high-quality stocks. We are focusing on sectors like technology, communication services, and industrials, emphasizing companies with strong returns on equity and reasonable PEG ratios.2 How do you view the current phase of the market cycle with regard to U.S. earnings?Matt: Earnings growth will have to remain the key driver of equity returns as dividend yields are low and P/E ratios are high. S&P 500 Index earnings have exceeded expectations, but Q3 and Q4 earnings performance will be crucial to watch. Ultimately, we think strong earnings are the best thing this market's got going for itself.3 How do you interpret the recent bounce in global PMI, especially for U.S. manufacturing and services?Emily: Global PMI showed a reacceleration in growth in August. The U.S. manufacturing PMI at 53.3 was the highest reading of the year. U.S. services also performed well. United States is showing better relative growth compared to Europe, leading us to favor U.S. equities.

In this week's episode, Ricardo questions whether artificial intelligence (AI) actually reduces project risks or creates new ones. While it helps predict delays, identify flaws, and minimize errors, AI can create invisible risks, such as data bias, which distorts results, and "blind trust," when professionals accept predictions without critical analysis. Another risk is technological dependence: if the tool fails or disappears, the project could stall. There are also ethical and legal questions about who is responsible for AI's misguided decisions. Vargas emphasizes that AI is neither a villain nor an absolute solution. It should be seen as an ally, but always with human oversight, contingency plans, and clear accountability from managers.

In 2006–07, lumber collapsed long before the housing bust became obvious. In 2021–22, lumber's spike and crash captured the whiplash of pandemic stimulus meeting Fed tightening. Today's drop, back under $600, is telling us not just about oversupply but about fading demand in an economy where mortgage costs remain restrictive and liquidity is being drained. There's also a market structure angle. Commodities like lumber usually run ahead of official data: the PMI slowdown, weakening credit surveys, and leveraged ETF outflows are all now echoing the same caution. Lower lumber prices might look like disinflation on paper, but if the driver is demand destruction, that's recessionary, not bullish This is the kind of signal markets often ignore until it's too late: a quiet commodity screaming that growth is slowing, leverage is retreating, and the cushion of speculative appetite is gone. When builders stop buying wood, it's about the whole cycle losing momentum. 1. High Interest Rates Suppressing Housing and Construction DemandHigh interest rates have been a primary driver of the lumber market's contraction by cooling the U.S. housing sector, which accounts for a significant portion of lumber consumption (e.g., framing for new homes). Elevated rates make mortgages more expensive, leading to fewer home starts, builder pullbacks, and delayed projects. This reduces overall demand for softwood lumber, pushing prices down as inventories build.    2. Tariffs on Canadian Lumber Imports Disrupting Supply and PricingTariffs, particularly the U.S. duties on Canadian softwood lumber, have exacerbated the contraction by increasing costs for importers while simultaneously reducing buyer appetite. Canada supplies about 30% of U.S. lumber demand, so these trade barriers create volatility: producers raise prices to offset duties, but buyers hold off, leading to oversupply and falling market prices.        In summary, the lumber market's contraction isn't due to just one factor—high interest rates are primarily eroding demand through a sluggish housing sector, while tariffs are inflating costs and causing market hesitancy. Together, they've created a feedback loop of falling prices and reduced activity. If rates begin to drop (as some predict) or trade disputes resolve, recovery could start later in 2025  (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.
