"As organisational structure changes, collaboration and strategic thinking are happening from the bottom-up, and smart organisations are recognising the need for skill sets beyond traditional project management to be successful," said Tim Wasserman, Chief Learning Officer, TwentyEighty Strategy Execution. "This blurring and blending of disciplines into the meta-practice of adaptive execution forces transparency, cross-functional teamwork, and innovation, all of which helps companies get work done."

TwentyEighty Strategy Execution put together a panel of experts to identify the top 10 project-based work trends for 2017, which further explore the transformation of traditional project management and highlight the emergence of the combined meta-practice of project management, business analysis, and strategy execution.

Adaptive Execution: The Birth of One Meta-Practice
Organisations are less concerned about adhering to single methodologies like Agile or Waterfall, and are instead creating a blend that works for their culture and their strategy.

Digitalisation – A New Project Management Tribe
The adoption of mobile, cloud and data technology is changing how companies run projects and get work done. Leaders need the skills to take charge when technology increasingly drives the business.

Change Managers are Essential for Innovation
Change managers are no longer being sidestepped as organisations recognise that change needs formal handling. The change managers of today are laying the foundation for the progress of tomorrow.
