A roadmap for staying relevant in an AI-enabled, hybrid project world.
This session goes beyond theory. Participants leave with a clear picture of the trends reshaping the profession, a practical skills roadmap, and a framework for human-AI collaboration in planning, risk, and decision-making.
- 01 Future trends impacting PMI professionals and PMO leaders
- 02 A practical skills roadmap for modern project & program managers
- 03 A framework for human-AI collaboration in planning, risk, and decisions
- 04 Talking points and tools attendees use the next Monday
Engineering a resilient and sustainable energy future through the integration of digital twin ecosystems and adaptive systems engineering.
Attendees will examine a federated “Grid Twin Ecosystem” that unifies operational intelligence, lifecycle traceability through Digital Threads, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The talk introduces the Grid Harmony Index—a novel framework for balancing competing demands like sustainability, reliability, and affordability—and demonstrates its practical value through real-world utility and smart city case studies.
- 01 Understanding Grid Transformation Drivers: Identify how rapid electrification, renewable integration, and climate risks are transforming the energy grid into a complex adaptive System-of-Systems.
- 02 Exploring Digital Twin Capabilities: Learn how synchronized virtual representations enable real-time visibility, predictive analytics, and proactive maintenance to prevent grid failures before they occur.
- 03 Integrating Systems Engineering Rigor: Examine the role of MBSE and Digital Threads in providing lifecycle assurance and maintaining an authoritative flow of data from requirements to operations.
- 04 Operationalizing "Wa" (Harmony): Discover how to use the Adaptive Governance Framework and Grid Harmony Index to evaluate trade-offs and achieve equilibrium among resilience, sustainability, and stakeholder trust.
- 05 Analyzing Real-World Case Studies: Evaluate best practices and results from global initiatives, including the National Grid ESO electrification challenge and Virtual Singapore urban planning.
A framework for reliable, scalable, and trustworthy hybrid classical–quantum systems.
This session introduces the Quantum Systems Engineering (QSE) framework to bridge the gap between quantum hardware advances and real-world operational value. Participants will explore how to architect hybrid classical-quantum systems by integrating digital engineering principles, establishing robust governance, and ensuring continuous lifecycle assurance to deliver reliable and secure results across the enterprise
- 01 Adaptation of Systems Engineering: Understand why traditional deterministic engineering must evolve to manage the probabilistic behavior, uncertainty, and noise inherent in quantum-enabled environments
- 02 The Four-Dimension QSE Framework: Learn to implement the core pillars of Hybrid Architecture, Quantum Verification & Validation (QV&V), Lifecycle Engineering, and Governance to ensure system trustworthiness.
- 03 Digital Engineering Enablers: Explore how Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Twins, and Digital Threads provide the necessary infrastructure for continuous assurance and lifecycle traceability.
- 04 Engineering for Harmony ("Wa"): Apply the principle of "Wa" to align technology, stakeholders, and society, ensuring that quantum adoption is ethical, sustainable, and inclusive.
- 05 Workforce & Organizational Readiness: Identify the emerging roles and cross-disciplinary competencies required to bridge the gap between quantum science and operational engineering.
