| 10 Ways to Prove You're a Strategic Thinker | To get ahead in the business world, it's not enough to think strategically. You also have to effectively communicate those ideas. There are several ways to do this, including elevating the conversation to focus on the big picture and broader context, being forward-looking in your comments, anticipating the effects of potential decisions, connecting disparate concepts, and more. | | | | | | The Opportunities at the Intersection of AI, Sustainability, and Project Management | There are unprecedented opportunities at the intersection of AI, project management, and sustainability.

It is essential for project managers to learn to implement "green algorithms," specialized AI constructs designed to both enhance operational efficiency and prioritize sustainability. This five-step framework can guide project managers and leaders as they deploy green algorithms effectively. | | | | | | Building Consensus Around Difficult Strategic Decisions | Making future-focused decisions in an uncertain world presents fundamental challenges for leaders.

Here's how they work. | | | | | | How Project Managers Can Better Navigate Setbacks | Setbacks are not enjoyable. Yet quite often, they become the catalyst for growth, change, and innovation.

Understand the neuroscience behind them. | | | | | | Project Managers, Focus on Outcomes—Not Deliverables | If you've ever developed a product, you've almost certainly been derailed by scope creep. Features multiply, priorities blur, and schedules and budgets suffer. As a leader, how can you recognize scope creep and realign your team? Here's how to do it—while staying aligned with the genuine needs of your audience. | | | | | | |
