Today, Project Management Institute (PMI) announced its second annual Future 50 list, which features 50 rising leaders using bold and innovative thinking to transform the world through notable projects.
PMI® research shows that only 40 percent of organizations say they prioritize attracting and hiring the next generation of project professionals. But what the Future 50 list highlights is that this new generation is capable of driving value for businesses and society now and in the future.
“In an exceptionally challenging year, this new generation of leaders have stepped up to drive innovation around the globe,” said George Asamani, Africa Business Development Leader at Project Management Institute. “With a deep sense of social responsibility, this next generation of leaders are deeply committed to protecting the natural environment, driving diversity, and fostering environments of inclusion, and making the world a better place. The 50 individuals featured on this list are each changemakers whose wide range of projects exemplify the power and potential of transformation.”
While some honourees are Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification holders, others would not even describe themselves as project managers. What unites the Future 50 is a commitment to project work as the foundation for positive impact today and tomorrow.
