Tomorrow, Today

Show Notes

Why do so many projects fail and what separates projects that create real value from those that don't?

In this episode of Tomorrow Today, Shekhar Natarajan speaks with project-management expert Antonio Nieto about leadership, project failure, organisational culture, governance, prioritisation, people and the future of transformation.

From GSK and ABN AMRO to COVID-19 vaccine development, Antonio shares real-world lessons on what it takes to deliver complex projects successfully and why companies may need to shift their focus from simply running today's operations to building tomorrow through projects.

The conversation also explores how AI will change project management and which distinctly human capabilities will remain essential.
