Hey friend,

Exciting news this week. We just finished filming for our first course "Remote Project Management Mastery". It took a while but I wanted to get this right. And to give you all the information you need and nothing that you don't. The course will be out in February and I'll let you know more soon. Very exciting!

Some Thoughts

I recently watched a pretty inspiring YouTube video by an Australian creator. He spoke about reframing your progress. The idea that stuck out to me was a simple reframe. That you are not behind. You are just at the beginning. You are not a failure, you are just at the part of the story that you will look back on one day and think “wow those hardships make this story awesome.” This part of your life will make the win even more satisfying. You are building up to your success.

What you will learn this week:

The Future of Programme Management: 7 Trends You Need to Know

Forget the dusty binders and waterfall methodologies – programme management is getting a serious upgrade. The rise of remote work, automation, and data-driven decision making is shaping a new landscape for managing complex projects. Here’s a breakdown of the key trends programme managers need to stay ahead of the curve:

1. The Rise of the Machines (But Not in a Scary Way)

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are becoming powerful allies, taking over the mundane and freeing you to focus on the strategic aspects of programme management.

• Say goodbye to repetitive tasks: Imagine never having to manually update spreadsheets or track progress reports again. AI can automate these time-consuming activities, giving you back valuable hours to focus on team leadership and client communication.
• Smarter resource allocation: AI can analyze vast amounts of data to predict potential roadblocks and optimize resource allocation. This means you can identify skill gaps in your team early on and ensure the right people are assigned to the right tasks at the right time.
• Risk management gets a boost: AI can analyze historical data and identify potential risks before they derail your project.
