AI-Discoverability: The Next Leadership Capability in Project Management
In Janet’s keynote at the 25th Anniversary summit of PMI Netherlands Chapter in November 2026, she will make the case why projects need to be findable, not just deliverable. Understandable to people, systems and AI alike.
“AI-Discoverability: The Next Leadership Capability in Project Management”. This clarity-driven, forward-looking keynote explores what it takes to make projects understandable to people, systems and AI alike at every level (individual, project, and organisational), offering fresh perspectives and actionable insights to reduce risk and keep pace with increasingly complex, data-rich project environments. Janet shows how structuring project data and decisions so they can be understood and leveraged by intelligent systems doesn’t just speed up delivery; it strengthens knowledge management, sharpens decision-making transparency and helps organisations learn and adapt across projects over time. Positioned within the summit’s Future Ready track, the keynote challenges project professionals to rethink how they structure information and communicate with both stakeholders and AI systems. As project environments grow more complex, Janet argues the project manager’s role must evolve too, and she outlines the new leadership skills and positioning that AI-discoverable projects demand.
