Project Management, Rewired - A Hands-On AI Lab for the Modern PM with Kristina Martinelli

Core Mission: Building an AI-ready project workforce across Southern New England.

Project, program, portfolio, and PMO professionals are entering a period of rapid change. AI, automation, and agentic workflows are reshaping how work is planned, coordinated, analyzed, governed, and delivered.

This initiative is designed to help project professionals develop the practical AI capabilities needed to remain competitive, increase delivery speed, strengthen decision-making, and lead effectively in AI-enabled environments.

This is not an AI-awareness seminar.

It is a hands-on workforce-development experience designed to help project professionals apply AI to the real work of leading projects, programs, portfolios, and transformation.

Workforce Development Goal

This initiative supports employers, current project professionals, emerging professionals, and students by helping strengthen the regional pipeline of talent capable of:

• Leading AI-enabled projects and transformation
• Working effectively with AI assistants, agents, and connected systems
• Improving speed to market and delivery efficiency
• Applying human judgment and governance where AI alone is insufficient
• Managing the risks, responsibilities, and organizational change created by AI adoption
• Remaining competitive as project roles and required skills evolve

Hands-On Focus

Participants will work with practical AI applications for:

• Project and program delivery
• Context engineering
• Project intelligence
• PM artifact creation
• Risk and issue identification
• Project rescue and red teaming
• Executive and stakeholder communication
• AI agents and connected workflows
• AI governance and responsible use
• Managing AI-enabled projects...
