True AI success requires a new delivery paradigm — one that is data-centric, iterative, well-governed, and driven by human-centered orchestrators. This is precisely where the PMI Certified Professional in Managing AI (PMI-CPMAI)™ methodology redefines the playbook.

Participants will be introduced to the CPMAI framework, which equips project professionals with a practical, phase-based framework to navigate the AI lifecycle — from business intent and data readiness to operational deployment, while embedding the principles of ethics, accountability, and organizational trust throughout.

The session will also provide a strategic examination of the evolving AI ecosystem, encompassing major market dynamics, institutional developments, and recurring pitfalls identified by leading consulting houses and academic research.

The future belongs to trailblazers who do more than deploy AI — those who understand, guide, and scale it with purpose, governance, and delivery precision.

Whether advising clients or leading internal AI initiatives, participants will gain actionable insights to move from theory to real-world value realization.

Because “behind every algorithm, there is a choice — and behind every choice, a human.”

Lecturer: Panagiotis Dousis is an AI Lecturer, PMP-certified professional, PMI’s official Authorized Training Partner (ATP) Instructor, and the first professional in Greece to earn the CPMAI™ certification..
