The game-changing role technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), has continued to play in individual and corporate systems, emotional intelligence and human values, have been identified as equally key to the success of such individuals and corporate organisations.
A top Project Management professional and Managing Director, Project Management Institute (PMI), Sub-Saharan Africa, Dr. George Asamani, therefore stressed the need for orgnaisations, desirous of success, to create a balance between these two ends.
He argued that, with technology becoming ‘omnipresent’, individuals must be ready to take personal responsibility for preserving their human legacy, by not only adapting to change, but actively shaping it.
The PMI boss would want challenges to be seen, by professionals and businesses, as opportunities for growth; since they foster resilience and adaptability.
He believed platforms, such as: Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and PMI certifications, provide accessible resources for continuous learning, adding that, commitment to consistent growth, on the part of young professionals, ensures they remain relevant in an ever-evolving job market.
“Organisations play a pivotal role in striking the balance. Pairing seasoned professionals with new project managers through mentoring fosters mutual growth, enabling the transfer of knowledge, skills, and fresh inter-generational perspectives.
“PMI’s Chapters provide a valuable platform for facilitating these connections, offering opportunities for collaboration, networking, and professional growth within a supportive community,” he added.
