Feb 05, 2025
The Challenge: Navigating AI While Staying Relevant as a Project Manager
Lisa, a project manager in a global organization, is at a turning point in her career. AI and automation are transforming how projects are managed, but instead of making her job easier, they are creating new challenges:
- AI is changing project workflows—tasks once managed manually are now automated, leaving Lisa wondering where she fits in the new project landscape.
- Teams are resistant to AI adoption—employees worry about job security, and stakeholders struggle to align on AI-driven project priorities.
- Leadership expects faster project execution, but Lisa’s team lacks the digital skills to leverage AI effectively, slowing down adoption and increasing frustration.
Lisa doesn’t want to be left behind. She wants to future-proof her career, lead AI-enabled projects with confidence, and help her team embrace the change rather than fear it.

Lisa’s organization partners with Thrive with EQ to help project managers like her transition into NextGen Project Leaders—those who can seamlessly blend AI adoption with human-centric leadership.
