How AI can give Project Managers SuperPowers

You will learn about AI-enhanced automation that improves accuracy, scalability, and decision-making speed. Additionally, the speaker will highlight how generative AI can transform project managers into data scientists, enabling data-driven insights, advanced predictive analytics, and automated report generation.

Speaker Bio: 

Cornelius Fichtner is an author, course creator and podcast host.

Cornelius came to project management by accident. He started out as a software developer but quickly realized that he preferred talking to people to writing code. He moved into what was then called "organizational planning" and even became certified in the field. It took him about 3-4 years to make the switch and completely leave software development all the while leading more and more complex and important projects.

In 2008 he founded OSP International, home of the PM PrepCast, to help students effortlessly pass the PMP Exam. Visit www.pm-prepcast.com to find the wide range of project management certification course they now offer, including the PMI-ACP and CAPM exams.

Cornelius is involved in all aspects of the company. As President and Founder, he defines the strategic direction and works with trainers and coaches to design and develop new products. He also records and narrates lessons for our students.

You can receive a free trial of the PM PrepCast by visiting www.pm-prepcast.com/free and you can connect with him at Facebook.com/PrepCast or Twitter.com/PMExamTips

You probably know him best from his podcast, the PM Podcast www.pm-podcast.com It is perfect for both beginner and experienced project managers to help them learn to successfully manage and lead projects.

Cornelius says: "I think the main way I help customers pass their exams is by letting my enthusiasm for project management shine through in our training lessons. Students often comment how I'm able to make a dry subject like PM theory come alive. I'm able to motivate, excite and inspire them on this 'dry' subject, and so they keep going on the road to passing their exam. I'm able to put myself into the shoes of our students and see our products from their perspective. This enables me to create training material that has the customer at heart and will help them to not only prepare for and pass their exams but also helps them become better project managers. I'm the voice and face of pretty much all our training lessons. However, I definitely have a face for radio!"

Cornelius holds PMP and CSM credentials. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona, USA with his wife and their four computers. He is a past President of the PMI-OC Chapter and a PMI-OC Fellow. Currently he is a member of the American Wine Society Tucson Chapter. He enjoys juggling and says that he is excellent with three balls, OK with four, but can only keep five balls in the air for a couple of seconds.
