"The nature of project management and leadership work is proliferating - not only geographically, but notably across roles and functions. Project-based work has expanded beyond just the PMO or IT department," said Christoffer Ellehuus, Strategy Execution's CEO. "We believe that successful execution of strategic projects only happens today when professionals and leaders have the right mix of business, technical, and people skills in combination with the right adaptive mindset," he continued. "These trends together reflect the fact that project work touches all parts of the business and even those who may not think of themselves as classical project managers must aim to develop an adaptive skill set to advance their careers while also moving their organizations forward."

This year's trends highlight reasons why adaptive skill sets are increasingly in demand, and why project leaders at all levels of organizations across different industries should work to develop these holistic capabilities.

    1. Disruptive Technologies Will Continue Their TrajectoryBeing able to
       predict the next disruptor in your industry is nearly impossible, but
       what you can do is better equip your leaders to react and adapt to
       whatever the technological future holds.

    2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Are Permeating Project-Based
       Work Organizations will find that embracing- rather than resisting - the
       onslaught of AI and big data and learning how to find the "human
       difference" in their people will be the key to adapting to increased
       automation.

    3. Vendor Management and Outsourcing is GrowingMost project-based workers
       today manage vendor relationships in some capacity. Having the technical
       know-how to understand the contractual elements, combined with the
       adaptive skills to collaborate and problem solve with a multitude of
       vendors across varying projects is paramount to success.

    4. Program Management Maturing Within the Federal GovernmentGovernment
       project and program managers are likely familiar with the Program
       Management Improvement Accountability Act (PMIAA), which is currently
       being implemented as a way to formalize the program management profession
       and provide a more concrete path for professional growth.

    5. Project Teams Are Migrating to Shared PlatformsIt's hard to keep up with
       the emerging technological resources available to project teams today.
       But this migration is inevitable, so organizations should upskill their
       teams to move deftly across various platforms to increase workflow
       efficiency and collaboration.

    6. Agile Rises from the Tech Store to the Top FloorAgile has emerged from an
       IT methodology to one that can be applied throughout the organization -
       even at the very top. We're seeing Agile emerge to the C-suite as
       executives realize how this mindset and practice can help organizations
       change and adapt their strategies more quickly.

    7. Managing Changes in Change ManagementDue to the inevitability of change
       across all businesses, the responsibility of managing change can no
       longer be contained to the HR department. Increasingly, employees at all
       levels of the organization are expected to develop the communication and
       leadership skills to be change agents.

    8. Curated Learning on the RiseEmployees today are having to learn on the
       job while still managing their day-to-day tasks. To keep up,
       organizations will seek out modern approaches to professional development
       and training that can benefit their teams and the business alike.

    9. Project Management Booming in Developing NationsProject
       management-related roles will experience unprecedented growth over the
       next decade, primarily in India and China. As projects continue to span
       the global market, the discipline of project management will sustain its
       growth to support these initiatives.

    10. Supply Chain Mounting in ComplexityCompanies today are under pressure to
        deliver products faster, cheaper, and better than they have before. This
        demand adds pressure to the traditional supply chain and requires
        leaders with the right skill sets to effectively navigate the increased
        complexity.
