ANR #56: Five Disruptive Trends in Project Management for 2021 and Beyond
Dear Friends,
I hope you and your loved ones are keeping well.
In the next five years, the world will see more projects than ever. According to McKinsey, Governments’ allocated $10 trillion in reconstruction funds just in the first two months of the crisis, which is three times more than the response to the 2008–09 financial crisis. These are millions of projects, which will need millions of project managers; the confirmation of a term I conceived in 2017: The Project Economy.
These are the five disruptive trends that will impact the field of projects and project management:
1. The end of Job Descriptions, the start of Project Roles
2. From Project Manager to Strategy Implementation Professionals
3. Expanding our Toolkit, it is not Waterfall or Agile; it is both and more
4. The Project Management Office: Transform Now or Game Over
5. Artificial Intelligence will radically disrupt project management soon; we have to embrace technology now
Do you have similar views? do you see other trends?
Please feel free to comment.
Global Initiatives for Positive Impact – 400+ volunteers
One week after the start of the pandemic crisis, I launched an initiative to engage friends and connections, all experienced knowledge professionals, to find ways to help those that had been impacted the most. More than 400 volunteers joined; 44 gatherings. In an upcoming letter, I will share more about this wonderful experience of generosity.
Strategy Implementation Professional – 50% discount till end Dec
Launching a start-up this year was probably not a great idea, however, more than 100 project managers, scrum masters, senior professionals have signed up for the online course and our new global certification. The feedback has been extremely positive, which is the best recognition for the two years spent preparing this unique course.
Thank you for reading and for your support; also to the more than 600 new members that subscribed to this newsletter in the past eight months. I am convinced that together we can make a better world.
Keep well,

ANR #55: HBR survey on Project Management – Need Your Help
Good day,
I hope you are doing well.
As part of the research for my next book with Harvard Business Review – the HBR Project Management Handbook – and leveraging HBR vast influence and access to executives, we just launched a global survey on the latest trends and future of the project management profession.
As far as I know, it is the first time that HBR carries out a research on the state of project management, another small step of the increasing importance and recognition of the value of our profession.
To compare the views of senior leaders and project professionals, we designed two questionnaires:
Survey for Senior Leaders and Executives
Survey for Project Management Experts
I would very much appreciate it if you can take 5min to complete the survey (open till end of July) related to your current position.
Also, would love to hear about your own experience: Are you familiar with any memorable projects or any project implementation best practice worth sharing with key decision-makers? Please share them with me by replying to this email.
Thank you so much!
Keep well,
Antonio

ANR #54: Reconciling Societies through Projects
We are watching with sadness what is happening around the world; the world that we will leave behind to our kids, grand children and many more generations to come.
The Covid pandemic, the George Floyd movement against racisms, the Honk Kong fight for freedom, the colossal economic crises and a long etcetera, have set most nations in turmoil with unclear future.
To make things worse, Leadership in our political systems has deteriorated to levels never seen in our recent history; leaving little hope for a collective comeback as we lived in previous global crisis.
I would like to solicit leaders around the world to look at one of the most impactful human projects ever:
The Reconciliation of Rwanda after the genocide in 1994.
In 1994, Rwanda suffered one of the most atrocious genocides that recent history remembers. Up to 1 million people perished in three months and as many as 250,000 women were raped, leaving the country’s population traumatized, its infrastructure decimated, and its judicial and political system completely annihilated.
In the late 1990s, President Paul Kagame and his government started to look at their country in a different way. They began actively planning methods and established a Vision 2020 programme, [1] composed of 44 goals.
Since then, Rwanda has embarked on an ambitious development and reconciliation process with the ultimate aim of all Rwandans once again living side by side in peace. The Constitution now states that all Rwandans share equal rights. Laws have been passed to fight discrimination and a divisive, genocidal ideology.
Primary responsibility for reconciliation efforts rested in a new body, the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission,[2] established in 1999. The main activities performed by this body were around awareness and education. Several studies were carried out investigating the sources of the division and conflicts, and how to mitigate them in the future. National summits were organized around human rights, national history, good governance. Training on conflict management and trauma counselling was provided to women, adolescents and political leaders. Peace education programs (Ingando), explaining the origins of the division and Rwandan’s history were provided. A leadership academy (Itorero) was established to develop leaders and promote Rwanda’s values. From 2007 to 2009, 115,228 participants took part in the Itorero programme[3].
So far, the results of this transformation programme have been extraordinary, particularly in light of the terrible devastation the country found itself in 1994.
The National Unity and Reconciliation Commission has twice released a “reconciliation barometer”, which looks at dozens of factors to determine how well people are living together. In 2015, the last year for which the figures are available, the country deemed reconciliation in Rwanda to be at 92.5%.[4]
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Vision 2020 programme was its aim to eradicate the high levels of corruption present in the country, one the major burdens to prosperity and one of the main factors that led to the genocide. To win the fight against corruption, the programme’s leaders learned from Singapore the importance that cleanliness can have in influencing citizens and the overall culture of a country. The logic behind this is the idea that, if a city is clean, its government and politics will be clean too. Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, is one of the cleanest cities in the world. Corruption levels have dropped by half, with the result that Rwanda has become one of the least corrupt countries in Africa (falling from 83rd to 49th place according to Transparency International[5]).
Rwanda’s Vision 2020 programme has achieved a number of other improvements too. For example, literacy grew from 48% in 1995 to just over 71% in 2016. And in 2016 women held 56% of seats in parliament – one of the largest percentages in the world.
There are few ways of working and collaborating more motivating and inspiring than being part of a project with an ambitious goal, a higher purpose, and a clear fixed deadline.
What are some of the lessons learned from this incredible program?
Using the Project Canvas, we can see how the leadership team ensured that the essential elements of a successful project were in place.
