PMI unveils podcast series to explore leadership and real-world impact

Project Management Institute (PMI) has launched The Shift Code podcast, which explores the vital role of project success in facilitating organisational and digital transformation.

Hosted by PMI President and CEO Pierre Le Manh, the first season features candid conversations with C-suite-level executives from aerospace, technology, agriculture, and other industries. Listeners will gain valuable insights into leadership lessons and how to achieve successful project outcomes consistently.

The series begins with Steve Altemus, CEO of Intuitive Machines, the first commercial company to soft-land a spacecraft on the moon in February 2024.
In the podcast, Altemus discusses major advancements in aerospace technology and the role of project management in accelerating space exploration in his interview.

“Innovation comes out of overly constrained budgets, overly constrained schedules, and a very difficult technical challenge. Forced innovation is what happens when you take on that insurmountable challenge,” said Le Manh

Additional episodes will feature: Robert C. Wolcott, Co-Founder and Chair of the World Innovation Network (TWIN) and author of Proximity: How Coming Breakthroughs in Just-in-Time Transform Business, Society, and Daily Life unpacks how adaptability and flexibility within organizations can unlock significant innovation.

Other includes Miishe Addy, Co-Founder and CEO of Jetstream Africa, highlights how project management is transforming logistics across West Africa; Simon Molnar, Founder and CEO of Flagship, explores the role of project management in navigating digital transformation in the retail industry; while Vihari Kanukollu, Co-Founder and CEO of UrbanKisaan, shares insights into sustainable urban farming solutions in India and the challenges of scaling environmentally conscious projects.

“When you’re breaking new ground – people want to know the formula. In the first season of The Shift Code – we’re bringing in the doers, the disruptors, the ones making things happen,” said Pierre Le Manh, PMI President and CEO. “From drastically lowering the cost of space exploration to revolutionising how we grow food – these conversations cut through the noise to show how project management drives real innovation, solves impossible problems, and moves humanity forward,” PMI CEO stated.
