In Focus: Timeless Principles for Successful Project Management

Change is a constant in project management, says George Moschoglou, Ph.D., Faculty Director for the Master’s in Project Management program at Georgetown University. Not only do projects constantly change, the field itself is in perpetual motion, with new technologies, such as AI, presenting both challenges and opportunities. How do project managers navigate this new environment? By adhering to timeless principles that have long guided the profession. Here, Dr. Moschoglou talks with Dora Gougoufkas, Managing Vice President at Capital One, about how these principles apply to today’s challenges, from AI, to risk management, to dealing with continuous change. Project managers, Gougoufkas says, “are the folks that really get our business strategies accomplished, the enablers of all our work.”
