What does it really take to build a business that lasts?In this special episode, the tables are turned as our team member Sarah Nielson interviews Agile Ideas host and AMO Founder & CEO, Fatimah Abbouchi, reflecting on the highs, lows, and lessons from ten years of building a consulting business dedicated to helping organisations close the strategy execution gap.From a conversation in a café to leading a consultancy working across transformation, governance, capability, and delivery, Fatimah shares the pivotal moments that shaped both her business and her leadership. Together, they explore why so many organisations struggle to connect strategy with execution, how AMO's thinking has evolved over the past decade, and why sustainable business growth depends just as much on people and culture as it does on process and delivery.The conversation also goes beyond business strategy into the realities many founders experience but rarely discuss openly. Fatimah reflects on navigating uncertainty, imposter syndrome, burnout, difficult tender losses, and the pressure of leading through challenging periods—all while staying true to the values that shaped the business from day one.Looking ahead, they discuss what's next for AMO, the growing role of capability-led thinking, AI, partnerships, and why endurance—not perfection—has become one of the most important leadership qualities of all.Whether you're leading a PMO, growing a business, or navigating your own leadership journey, this episode offers an honest reflection on what it takes to build something meaningful over the long term.In this episode, we cover:3:15 How AMO Began 11:40 The Reality of Building a Business 21:05 Burnout, Resilience & Leadership 33:20 Why Strategy Still Fails in Execution 46:15 Looking Ahead: The Next 10 Years…and more.

Le sponsor est souvent présenté comme la personne qui finance un projet.

What does it take to lead a global PMO in an increasingly AI-enabled world—especially when your biggest challenge isn't the technology, but the quality of the data behind it?In this insightful episode, Fatimah is joined by Mark Abdelmalek, Head of PMO APAC at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, to explore how modern PMOs can embrace AI while staying focused on the fundamentals of leadership, governance, and organisational capability.Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, Mark shares his journey from software developer to PMO leader, reflecting on why successful delivery has always been about people as much as technology. Together, they discuss the growing role of AI in project delivery, why organisations often underestimate the human side of change, and how capability uplift helps teams build confidence as new technologies emerge.The conversation also explores one of the biggest barriers to successful AI adoption: data readiness. Mark explains why clean, accessible, and well-governed data is the foundation for meaningful AI outcomes, and shares a practical example of using Microsoft Copilot to transform years of PMO lessons learned into a searchable knowledge resource—helping teams avoid repeating mistakes and continuously improve delivery.Finally, they discuss leading PMOs across global organisations, working effectively with diverse stakeholders, keeping governance practical, and the lessons Mark has learned through his involvement with the PMO Global Awards.If you're leading projects, building PMO capability, or preparing your organisation for AI-enabled transformation, this episode offers practical insights into how people, governance, and technology come together to drive better delivery.In this episode, we cover:2:34 From Developer to Project Leader5:22 AI Anxiety & Learning Mindset13:23 Data Readiness for AI Transformation17:56 Building an AI Lessons Learned Agent31:02 Leading Projects Across APAC Remotely…and more.
How did a Prime Minister sitting on one of Labor's largest-ever majorities turn his national conference into a masterclass in silence — and what does that say about who's allowed to argue inside the party? Is Albanese's "command and control" PMO disciplined governance or a party too afraid of its own conscience? With One Nation polling above 25 per cent in a Victoria that's just lost its Premier — without an MP, candidate or policy to its name — and Pauline Hanson's blossoming friendship with billionaire Gina Rinehart raising questions about who bankrolls the populist right, can Labor's manufactured unity survive the volatility of 2028? The Saturday Paper's chief political correspondent Karen Barlow joins Mark and Marija to make sense of Labor's conference of conformity, the Pyongyang PMO, and the rise of One Nation.

No episódio 296 do Love the Problem, que dá continuidade à série especial Organizações Orientadas a Valor, Rafaela Fonseca recebe Samira Tavares, Sócia, Consultora Estratégica e Trainer na Nower e K21, e Daniella Prevot, Consultora e Trainer na Nower, para discutir como estruturar uma gestão de portfólio e governança de produtos e projetos focada em gerar impacto real para o negócio.Neste bate-papo, elas compartilham suas experiências nas trincheiras das organizações e explicam por que criar um escritório de projetos focado apenas em ferramentas e relatórios bonitos não se traduz em resultados. O debate traz insights sobre como guiar a operação para que ela reflita a estratégia de valor da companhia.Principais tópicos que elas abordam no episódio:Foco exige descarte: A necessidade de priorizar o que é mais importante, focar no problema e entender o contexto como o maior direcionador do portfólio.O perigo do "status report" perfeito: Por que um portfólio onde tudo está sempre sinalizado em verde geralmente indica falta de segurança psicológica e medo de expor os problemas reais, e não sucesso absoluto.A transição de PMO para VMO (Value Management Office): O que muda na prática ao migrar de um escritório de projetos tradicional para um focado em gestão de resultados.Cultura de colaboração vs. controle: Como incentivar um ambiente seguro e transparente onde as equipes se sintam confortáveis para levantar a mão e pedir ajuda em vez de empurrar os impedimentos para debaixo do tapete.Indicadores intermediários de tendência: A importância de não desprezar métricas intermediárias que apontam se a organização está caminhando na direção certa no curto prazo.Se você quer construir uma gestão de portfólio de produtos e projetos que maximize a entrega de valor e o impacto de negócio na sua organização, solta play e vem com a gente!
Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back his friend Stuart Taylor, a PMO leader and PMI PMO Awards judge, author of Becoming the Project Manager. Most of us didn't grow up dreaming of leading projects. We drifted into the role, and then discovered it's far less about plans and methodologies than it is about people, pressure, and learning to lead while you yourself still feel unsure. Stuart shares the story behind the book, including the university project where he publicly chastised a teammate and the response from his dad that changed how he understood leadership. He and Andy dig into the real value and limits of PM certifications, why AI can help you communicate but can't replace the human part, the stakeholder questions younger Stuart was afraid to ask, what his mentor Wayne taught him about proximity and follow-through, and why a new sponsor has to be sold on your project rather than assumed into it. You'll also hear the 30-minute CV rule and the trouble it once caused him. If you're looking for an honest, human look at what it actually takes to become the project manager, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Well, now that you've reprimanded that person, you do realize you've got to go and pick them back up again?" "So going out into the world with this as my toolkit, and I thought it was a toolkit, but actually it turned out to be more like a life raft because I ended up clinging onto it without reasoning at an early point in my career." "There's an awful lot that falls between the processes, and that's what the early part of the book is really exploring." "I don't believe there's great value in repeatedly recycling the same learning over and over and over again. I think there's much greater value in taking that energy and going to learn something about your industry, the, actual industry that you're working in." "And also, I should add, you will have greater value to them by being there too, because you're the interesting change person in the room then, rather than one of another 200 change people walking around all talking about the same methodologies." "So be the person who is not avoiding hearing about challenges, but actively seeking them out, and cataloging them, and managing them." "Something else I've learned: they don't like you tiptoeing around them." "But if anybody's having to go into the office more frequently now, go and spend some of that time sitting with the people whose world you are changing." "But if your own leader, the person who's supposed to be championing you in the organization just doesn't get it, then you've got an impossible task on your hands." "When your sponsor goes or leaves and somebody else comes in and replaces them, don't just assume that, that because they've now been told they're gonna have to be the sponsor of your project, that they understand it and they can see the value in it." "Every project that you work on, the benefits, they are your accomplishments." "There is no point in being loyal to organizations. Be loyal to people."

Bienvenue dans un nouvel épisode de Projetez-vous, le podcast dédié aux chefs de projet, PMO, managers et dirigeants qui souhaitent améliorer leur gestion de projet.Aujourd'hui, je reçois à nouveau Armand Fankam, spécialiste de la planification de projet et certifié PMI-SP®, pour répondre à une question essentielle :
On July 9, Mark Carney became the first Canadian Prime Minister to visit Saudi Arabia in 26 years — a Royal Palace meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, thirteen commercial agreements the PMO values at over $1 billion, and one sentence doing all the work: publicly condemning countries from afar is “an ineffective strategy.”In 2018, Canada spoke up about Saudi Arabia's human rights record and paid for it — an expelled ambassador and a five-year diplomatic freeze. In 2026, the lesson appears to have been silence.I walk through what was signed, what wasn't disclosed, the strongest case for the trip, and the question nobody at the press conference asked:Who sets the price of Canada's word?CHAPTERS0:00 Twenty-six years, one handshake0:45 What happened in Jeddah2:00 The sentence4:00 2018, told cold6:00 The thirteen agreements8:00 The pattern this week proves12:00 The government's best case — and my answer14:30 Who sets the price of Canada's word?17:30 What you do with thisSOURCESAP via ABC News — full trip report:https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/canadas-carney-defends-visit-saudi-arabia-slams-criticism-134635098Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com
Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary Sara Gallagher, President of The Persimmon Group and author of the LinkedIn newsletter Big Dumb Questions, joins Cornelius Fichtner to answer the uncomfortable questions most PMO leaders avoid. The conversation follows four threads: PMO identity, design, accountability, and the future. It opens with the biggest question of all: are PMOs dying? Sara takes an optimistic view, with caveats. She explains that traditional PMOs are built on standardization, which raises weaker projects to a certain ceiling but also flattens excellent, tailored work down to the law of averages. She then paints a concrete picture of what comes next: project managers with robust knowledge bases and AI agents that draft synthesized status reports, simulate steering committee members such as a CFO, and hand results to a PMO agent that standardizes everything for portfolio roll-up. The result combines hyper-customized stakeholder communication with standardization only where it is truly needed, and it frees the PMO to coach project managers in sophisticated stakeholder management and risk practices.
Brian Lilley, columnist with the Toronto Sun, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Mark Carney, the Vancouver condo bailout controversy, government secrecy, trade talks with the United States, and whether the Prime Minister is running the government he promised Canadians.In this episode, LeDrew presses Lilley on the question of corruption, especially around the Vancouver bailout. Lilley pushes back, arguing that he does not like using the word “corruption” without clear evidence — but says the Carney government has not been transparent enough with Canadians.They also discuss Carney's political instincts, the appointment of Tom Pitfield to the Senate, the Chicoutimi by-election, trade negotiations with Donald Trump, and whether Canadian politicians are using Trump as a political excuse for problems that existed long before the latest tariff fights.This is a sharp conversation about politics, accountability, secrecy, and whether Carney is better at playing the political game than delivering results for Canadians.Topics covered in this episode:The Vancouver bailout controversyWhy Brian Lilley pushes back on “corruption”Carney's lack of transparencyTrade talks with the United StatesTrump as political coverCarney's PMO and political strategyThe Tom Pitfield Senate appointmentThe Chicoutimi by-election calculationCanada's weak business climatePolitics versus governing Hosted on Acast.

Mark Carney announced approximately $900 million in new military support for Ukraine at the NATO summit on July 7.According to the Prime Minister's Office, the package includes:• $475 million for ammunition• Approximately $400 million for 35 Canadian-made armoured vehicles• $50 million for "critical technology"But the numbers add up to $925 million.The government never specified the currency. The written PMO readout doesn't match the remarks made at the podium regarding air defence. And Canada's Department of Finance has previously redacted details of federal aid to Ukraine.In this episode, I break down the math, examine the inconsistencies, and explain what a real paper trail for nearly a billion dollars of public spending should look like.Sources• PMO breakdown (via Kyiv Independent)https://kyivindependent.com/canada-pledges-900-million-to-ukraine-for-vehicles-and-ammo-but-no-air-defense/• Epoch Times ($475M / $400M / $50M breakdown; $2.8B 2026 commitment)https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canada-to-provide-ukraine-900m-for-ammo-armoured-vehicles-carney-6058644• Ukrainska Pravda (currency unspecified)https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/07/07/8042849/• Kyiv Post (podium remarks on air defence)https://www.kyivpost.com/post/79782• Euromaidan Presshttps://euromaidanpress.com/2026/07/07/canada-announces-900-million-military-aid-package/• Juno News ($25.5B total aid; Department of Finance redactions)https://www.junonews.com/p/pm-carney-pledges-900m-aid-package• LIGA.net ("over $925 million"; Development Support Recovery Bank)https://news.liga.net/en/war/news/official-canada-has-announced-a-new-aid-package-for-ukraine-worth-over-900-millionChapters00:00 Introduction00:30 The announcement02:30 Which currency?04:00 The vehicle math05:30 The mismatch07:00 The redactions08:00 What accountability looks like12:00 The word everybody's using13:30 Who gets the money?15:30 Your household's share17:30 Final thoughts#CanadianPolitics #GovernmentAccountability #UkraineAid #NATOSummit #MarkCarney #ForeignAid #DefenseSpending #Taxpayers #CanadaBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Stephen Carter and Zain Velji break down the politics of being seen, from Naheed Nenshi's controversial Stampede photo with the Israeli ambassador to the staffers whose job is to keep politicians out of pictures they will later regret. Can a good body person save a leader from a bad photo op? Is Mark Carney's new PMO structure a real change or just corporate jargon? And how much of an episode can be turned into an RBC Wealth Management ad before the sponsor asks for its money back?Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, and access to our exclusive Discord.https://www.patreon.com/c/strategistspodYou can also watch our episodes on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/@strategistspod Hosted on Acast.

Angie Knierim was not having a breakdown on that waiting room floor. She was finally telling the truth. For thirteen years, doctors told her she was fine. Her body sent a different message. Migraines. Chest pain. A cough that never left. She smiled through all of it, because smiling through it was the only skill anyone ever rewarded her for. Then a scheduling mistake cracked open something that had been sealed since childhood. What came out of her on that floor was not weakness. It was the part of her that had never been allowed to advocate for herself, finally breaking the lock she built to survive. If you have spent your life managing everyone's comfort but your own, this episode is going to name something you have never said out loud. Here's what happens when the truth finally gets louder than the performance.

The alleged theft of donations from the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has opened a window into the opaque finances of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Our Hafta panel discusses the SIT investigation into missing funds from donation boxes, the unanswered questions around the crores collected during the temple construction drive, and the land purchase controversy that implicated trustee Anil Mishra – with no consequences.The panel examines who Champat Rai (the general secretary of the trust) is, why allegations are being made against him, and what Nripendra Misra – former principal secretary at the PMO and chairman of the Temple Construction Committee – characterising the incident as a “dacoity” rather than theft signals about the political dynamics at play. With UP assembly elections months away and resentment running deep in Ayodhya, the panel asks: Is this about stolen money, or a power struggle within the RSS over control of the trust?Produced by Amit Pandey with production assistance from Sourav.Sound by Anil Kumar.

The traditional project management Big Three of Scope, Schedule, and Cost are foundational. They are not going anywhere, and they should not. However, those metrics primarily measure the process. If you only look at data on a digital dashboard, you are missing the human element that determines whether a project succeeds or fails.In this episode, we break down how to augment your traditional constraints with four people-focused vital signs that provide a real-time, accurate picture of your team and project health.Alignment: Is everyone actually pulling in the same direction, or are they just checking boxes?Confidence: Does the team genuinely believe the objectives are achievable?Direction to Done: Is the path forward completely clear, or is the finish line a moving target?Stability: Is the operational environment steady, or are shifting priorities causing burnout?By tracking these human indicators alongside your standard constraints, you bridge the gap between software dashboards and real-world execution.Key TakeawaysThe Process vs. People Gap: Why on-time and under-budget projects can still fail if the team is completely misaligned.Augmenting the Big Three: How to layer qualitative human metrics on top of quantitative scope, schedule, and cost data.The 4 Vital Signs Explained: A deep dive into Alignment, Confidence, Direction to Done, and Stability, and how to spot when one is slipping.Leading with Clarity: Practical ways for PMO leaders to pulse check these metrics through direct communication rather than software tracking.Resources MentionedConnect with the Show: peopleprocessprogress.comKeep the Conversation Going: @thekevinpannell on X and InstagramFitness and BJJ Content: Own.

Maria Skvortsova: When Agile Labels Hide Waterfall Reality — A Scrum Master's Wake-Up Call in SAP Migration Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "I realized that even if I like Scrum and Agile, and I think they are really good ways of thinking, some areas cannot adapt them because they are completely different from the mindset and ways of working." — Maria Skvortsova Maria came to Agile with the fire of a true believer. After a decade as a C++ developer, she'd found something that matched how she thought and felt about building software — something that went beyond controlling budgets and roadmaps. When a boutique SAP consulting company hired her as an Agile coach to transform their entire organization, she was all in. She built what she describes as a "really good" training for senior management, designed to sell them on Agile ways of working. But when she stepped out of the PMO role and into a real SAP migration project as delivery manager, the ground shifted beneath her. The iron triangle — fixed cost, fixed scope, fixed time — ruled everything. Teams ran "sprints" that were really just boxed iterations with no feedback loops, no value delivery, just a march toward a go-live date. Maria realized she was putting Agile labels on a fundamentally waterfall process. The hardest part wasn't the discovery — it was accepting that she needed to redirect her energy to environments where Agile could genuinely take root, rather than forcing it where the mindset simply didn't exist. Her advice: recognize when labels don't match reality as quickly as possible, and have the courage to choose environments that align with how you want to work. Self-reflection Question: Are you putting Agile labels on processes that are fundamentally waterfall? How quickly would you recognize the mismatch — and what would you do about it?

Nate Erskine-Smith lost his bid for nomination for the Ontario Liberals in Scarborough Southwest, putting his plans for leadership in question. He's alleging serious voting irregularities, and that the Ontario Liberal establishment has it in for him. Meanwhile, the Toronto Star publishes a curious Editor's Note, retracting a statement from the PMO that Carney did not in fact endorse Erskine-Smith, despite the video being posted online. Then, a Toronto Star freelance columnist criticizes the Star's reporting, and has her column pulled. What is happening? Barbara Patrocinio of iPolitics joins San Grewal to sort through the chaos.

Send us Fan MailI was fortunate to sit down with Daniel Hemhauser recently for a casual catching-up conversation. We touched on the current status of the employment struggles faced by many skilled project managers and the mixed signals we seem to be getting about their future. PMI has said that we'll need millions more PMs by 2035, but currently the people we talk to are sitting at six, nine, or even eighteen months without work. We get real about what that feels like, why it's happening across industries, and why even highly skilled project managers and PMO leaders are seeing job posts that demand impossible “everything roles” for entry-level pay. We also dig into where movement still exists. Some regions show more hiring energy, especially where construction, distribution, data center build-outs, and AI infrastructure are growing. We share simple, practical tactics like setting targeted job alerts and thinking in terms of project funding and active build cycles, not just job boards. If you're trying to plan your next move, this is about reading the market with clearer eyes. Then we shift to the opportunity hiding in the chaos: AI for project managers. Many people claim they “know AI,” but many are only scratching the surface with basic prompts. We talk about what actually stands out, from building useful workflows to experimenting with AI agents that can take repetitive PM work off your plate, like summaries, status updates, and draft communications. We also cover how to learn faster by having AI create a 30 to 60 day study plan and how to write prompts that force clarity by having the model ask you the right questions first. If you're worried about the future of project management, this conversation is a reminder that fundamentals still matter and new skills can compound quickly. Share this episode with a PM friend who needs it, and leave a comment with the toughest hiring trend you're seeing right now.

The PMO have informed the Haredi parties that the IDF draft bill will be returned to the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee as the Likud continue efforts to pass a bill that would exempt Haredi yeshiva students from military service. Despite the move, Rabbi Dov Lando, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Lithuanian community, instructed the Degel HaTorah faction to support the Knesset dissolution bill this Wednesday. Some Likud Knesset members are opposed to the proposed draft bill and say they will vote against. One of them is deputy foreign minister Knesset member Sharren Heskel, who spoke with KAN's Mark Weiss. (Photo:Flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former senior public servants Jim Mitchell and Kevin Lynch discuss their Donner Prize-shortlisted book examining Canada's governmental dysfunction. They diagnose corrosive imbalances plaguing Ottawa, including excessive PMO centralization, diminished ministerial authority, and political communications dominating policy delivery. Mitchell and Lynch argue Canada's prolonged underperformance stems from how government operates, not just its policies. They advocate for empowering ministers and MPs, streamlining bureaucracy, eliminating internal trade barriers, measuring public sector productivity, and rebalancing power between political staff and the professional public service.This episode is presented in partnership with the Donner Canadian Foundation.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Elia Gross - Producer & EditorStephen Staley - HostSean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailWhen evaluating the Top Project Management Systems in 2026, the focus must remain strictly on best-of-breed platforms rather than lightweight project modules embedded within CRM or ERP systems. To qualify for this category, the platform must operate as a standalone application with its own data model, workflow engine, and process architecture that can function independently from any broader suite. While some vendors bundle project capabilities within larger portfolios, the core project management engine must remain architecturally separable to ensure the depth and flexibility required by dedicated project environments. Another critical dimension is scope. Some platforms concentrate primarily on internal task coordination, collaboration, and resource planning for knowledge-centric teams. Others extend into Professional Services Automation (PSA), introducing financial controls such as billing, utilization management, revenue tracking, and client-facing workflow orchestration. This distinction matters because nearly 90% of project management systems are optimized for internal initiatives, whereas organizations managing external, client-billable projects require far deeper capabilities, including milestone-based revenue recognition, contractual governance, and complex resource allocation. As a result, companies running professional services engagements often need a fundamentally different platform than those supporting a purely internal PMO.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top project management systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these project management systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each project management system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37s_LuCzWusRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-project-management-systems/Questions for Panelists?

When Ellora Sengupta joined EverCommerce as CIO, she inherited the IT of over 50 acquisitions — multiple operating models, fragmented tech stacks, and business units that had zero reason to trust a central IT function. Most CIOs would have reached for a consolidation roadmap. Ellora reached for something better: earning the right to be plugged into, instead of just mandating it. In this episode, Ellora tells Yousuf how she's drawn the line between what actually needs to be standardized and what should be left alone so acquired businesses keep their edge.

Guest Highlights: "My success is not how fast can I standardize or make things consistent. My success is — are those vertical businesses ready to plug into the shared services that my team is creating because it makes them better." "Your team is not your family. In a family, it's unconditional. But in a team you need everybody to perform. It doesn't help anyone if you are carrying along a non-performer — the rest of the team has to carry that slack." "I don't have a separate budget for AI. I have a budget and I need to make sure that my tools are AI enabled." - Visit ciopod.com for more episodes.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The IDF confirmed yesterday it is searching for the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last remaining hostage held in the Gaza Strip, on the Israeli side of the ceasefire line in the enclave’s north in a cemetery. According to the PMO, The IDF is currently conducting a focused operation to exhaust all of the intelligence and upon completion of this operation -- and in accordance with what has been agreed upon with the US -- Israel will open the Rafah Crossing. Fabian fills us in on the recovery efforts, how the IDF plans to secure the crossing into Egypt and what is happening on the ground in Gaza. The IDF said Monday that its wave of airstrikes last night against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon hit weapon depots and other infrastructure. We speak about the recent wave of airstrikes and how deeply inside Lebanon the IAF is targeting. We then discuss whether a much weakened Hezbollah would consider joining ranks with Iran in any escalation of hostilities. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Olivia Montgomery, Associate Principal Analyst at Capterra and a PMP. They discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping project management tools, skills, and expectations. Olivia brings a rare perspective, combining hands-on experience leading a PMO with years of research into how organizations evaluate, adopt, and struggle with project management software. Olivia and Andy explore why buying AI-powered tools is often easy, but realizing real value from them is much harder. Olivia explains the shift from buying software based on seat count to buying based on capability, why security is both the top source of satisfaction and frustration, and how unclear success metrics can quietly derail adoption. They also dig into the hidden risks of delegating too much to AI, including data governance blind spots and misplaced trust in tools that feel intuitive but have real limitations. You'll also hear why emotional intelligence is becoming more important as technology advances, how PMs can stress-test AI tools before committing, and which skills will separate the next generation of project leaders from the rest. If you're trying to prepare for the future of AI, tools, and skills in project management, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Buying tools is very easy. Realizing the value is extremely difficult." "Security is not IT's job. It's the whole company's job." "If your main metric is just 'use AI,' that's a red flag." "AI is very good at predicting what is most likely to happen next, and terrible at predicting black swan events." "Emotional intelligence is what helps you move forward when technology can't." "Use AI to generate a first draft. That's the safest place to start." "If you don't know the topic well yourself, you won't spot when AI gets it wrong." "Confidence in AI can grow faster than readiness, and that's where problems start." "AI can flag a risk, but it cannot tell you why people are stuck." "Data governance is going to set project managers apart in the future." "No matter what job you have in ten years, emotional intelligence will still matter."
