The Power Skill of the Future: Effective Communication in Project Management
Interview with Damien Gauthier, speaker of the 12th PMI Switzerland PM Conference
In today's rapidly evolving business environment, communication has emerged as a highly differentiating skill for project leaders.
Project Managers' roles transcend the technical aspects of project processes, pivoting towards soft skills that drive team engagement, client satisfaction, and project success. But achieving proficiency in communication, particularly public speaking, is not without challenges.
The Driving Force of AI
As we venture deeper into the age of Artificial Intelligence, we foresee that AI will shoulder most of the redundant manual tasks, freeing up Project Managers to focus on more strategic and people-oriented aspects of their roles.
This prediction from Ricardo Vargas in his latest post (https://rvarg.as/1je/) is seconded by PMI's Pulse of the Profession 2023 report, where communication tops the Power Skills needed by project professionals.
In this not-so-distant future, PMs' capacity for conveying clear, persuasive messages will be the primary factor impacting their team's performance, the outcomes of their projects, and their professional career.
