Looking Ahead to 2024: Purpose, Vision, Values
The end of the calendar year offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on on the year that was, and plan for the year that will be.
It’s easy to glaze over the former and focus on the latter, but failure to reflect will eventually manifest in failure to grow.
Here at The Influential Project Manager, our focus for 2024 and beyond remains loyal to our core Purpose, Vision, and Values:
Purpose
To nurture the next generation of construction project leaders, tackling the industry’s toughest challenges, and improve the global impact of the Engineering and Construction sectors.
Vision

Transition Project Managers from administrative task managers to strategic project leaders.
Cultivate a rich ecosystem of technology, tools, and best practices.
Position construction a sought-after career choice for future generations.
Values

Leadership
Integrity
Thank you for joining us on this journey. The coming year is all about growth, leadership, and operational excellence.
