Description
From our personal to our professional lives, corporations to governments, individuals to nations, projects are the new reality. Welcome to the Project Revolution!
The emergence of projects as the economic engine of our times is silent but incredibly disruptive and powerful.
Projects are timeless and universal. The construction of the pyramids in Egypt, the development of modern cities, the Marshall Plan, the Apollo space programme, the creation of the European Union – all these achievements were the result of ideas being turned into reality through projects. Project-based work is the engine that generates the major accomplishments of our civilization; it has stimulated society to advance and often go beyond long-established scientific and cultural limits.
Projects change the world. Projects make impossible dreams possible.
The behavioural and social sciences endorse the idea that there are a few ways of working and collaborating that are particularly motivating and inspiring for people working on a project. These are that a project should have ambitious goals, a higher purpose and a clear deadline. You have probably noticed that what people tend to remember most clearly from their entire careers is the projects they work on – often the successful ones, but also the failed ones.
According to recent research, the number of individuals working in project-based roles will increase from 66 million (in 2017) to 88 million (forecast 2027). And the value of economic activity worldwide that is project oriented will grow from $12 trillion (in 2013) to $20 trillion (forecast 2027). Those are millions of projects requiring millions of project managers per year.
My prediction is that by 2025, regardless of the industry or sector, senior leaders and managers will spend at least 60% of their time selecting, prioritizing and driving the execution of projects. We will all become project leaders – despite never having been trained to be so!
Here are some of the areas we will cover in my course:
-
Understand how the project revolution is dramatically impacting the way organizations sell their products.
-
Learn how Philips and Nike will change the way the bring their products to market.
-
Explore a framework that can be used by anyone to succeed in projects and turn ideas into reality.

From what I’ve seen so far, it feels like I’ve been able to absorb the information fairly easily, and everything sounds like it’s being explained using the right amount of details, as I don’t feel like I’m overloading with information. Also the use of slides and having actual visual representations of what is being spoken is another thing I find helpful.

The Project Canvas is very helpful for me. I am well directed by it to be more focused and to ensure that once I made a decision, no matter how painful it is, in the end, my team will be happy. Congratulations Antonio for a good presentation of the course. I learned a lot.

The course is quite useful for applying the concepts to make an actual impact/launch projects. It mentions a lot on how projects are created, pitfalls, and stakeholders but I think it could include more on how strategies can be applied during each process.
Having an example and step by step guidance would be great.
