Programs, Seminars, & Meetings Networking LCI: 
Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping how
work gets done. When roles — such as those in agile
coaching / scrum mastering or more traditional roles
of project, program, and portfolio management — are
heavily defined by templates, reports, routines, and
standardized ceremonies, they become perfect
candidates for automation. In the virtual
presentation on 12 Feb, “What Type of
Traditional Roles Will AI Eat for Lunch?” presenter
Gene Gendel will describe how the future belongs to
those who move away from mechanical coordination and
toward meaningful influence, from process
enforcement to sense-making, and from managing tasks
to shaping direction. Click the link above to learn
more about the presenter, PDU info, and registration
details. Monthly Program: 
Is a project really done when the project plan is
complete? How to ensure that each project is
performed as desired and meets or exceeds
stakeholder and sponsor expectations? In the 17
Feb seminar, “Conducting and Facilitating
Lessons Learned,” attendees will be introduced to
the principles of conducing Lessons Learned analysis
to determine what in the project went right, what
went wrong, and what could have been done
differently. Click the link above for registration
to this virtual event, PDUs, and additional seminar
information. Via the link also explore the satellite
locations where you can join the seminar with fellow
members. The page also includes the speaker Guy
Grindborg’s decades of Project Management experience
in an array of industries. Construction LCI: 
Join the Construction LCI’s virtual presentation,
“The Utility Perspective: A Critical Input to
