By Harold Kerzner, Ph.D. | Senior Executive Director, International Institute for Learning (IIL). The landscape for project management changes almost every year. Some changes are relatively small or incremental, whereas other changes can be significant. Major changes to project management will occur in 2020 due to much of the new material that the Project Management Institute (PMI) has published and will be testing on in the new version of the Project Management Professional (PMP) ® exam beginni

When the Institute for the Future said sensemaking was something we'd need for 2020 and beyond, I'm sure many people thought 'Huh? What is that, why do I need it?'. We have some natural abilities to make sense yet we also need sharper skills when problem solving and dealing with complex issues and information. I wrote a book called 'Making Sense: A Handbook for the Future of Work'.

If you've been a leader for a few years, you'd have noticed how leadership and the expectations of leaders keep changing. The world of work changes and leaders need to adapt, flex, change with it too. From when leaders were controllers and commanders, to an era where leaders were all about coaching their team members via 1:1 conversations, and now to today.

Co-locating, buddying and pairing people can make awesome stuff happen - learning, problem solving, knowledge sharing. Better than if we have to face uncertainty alone. Why do we sit in stables, stalls, pods and cells all on our lonesome? Share a desk and go co! There's a reason why software developers sit next to each other and do 'pair programming'.

It’s natural to want to do well - at work, in study, in life, to do our best But what happens when striving for the best becomes more; the pursuit of perfection? Perfectionism is on the rise and has dire consequences for how we think and feel about ourselves and others, how we think, live, and work. It's causes over-thinking, over-working, burnout, sleeplessness and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

The world has experienced a 'visual revolution' over the past decade. We see more hand-drawn fonts in the font list on our computers, more hand-crafted signage in stores and more hand-created imagery in the media. It's no surprise then that hand-drawn visuals are more engaging as they ignite the mirror neurons in our brains, firing up our interest and attention.

Being a risk taker and explorer in times of uncertainty can feel like it’s a great risk, but it can also reap huge rewards. It means stepping into uncertainty, unknown and unsure. But go, step into it. Be intrepid. To be otherwise is to be timid, weak, pusillanimous – yep, that’s a big word that will stop you being able to work with uncertainty.

How much time do we spend trying to make sense of things, re-reading, scanning, skipping through information trying to piece it all together. While the world’s productivity gurus are keen on selling us a new app or habit, what if we looked at the cost of confusion and sought to reduce the time we spend confusing people. Rather than acting like we’ve got it together, what if we set aside a few minutes in a meeting to make sense?

When it hits you, that information overload feeling, what do you do? Panic? Get a coffee? Look at your phone? None of these are helpful. The feeling of overload, that ‘full sponge’ feeling isn’t pleasant. Disengagement, distraction and withdrawal are all behaviours connected with information overload. We try to cope. How often do we nod to say we understand something or have the information in hand, but in reality we're scrambling to catch up, struggling to stay awake or fed up

What’s the cost to your attention and cognitive load when you leave a meeting room, to step outside to take or make a call? If we knew, we may think twice about even looking at our devices or having them near us. Breaks are good, yes, and responding to an emergency, we have to. But ‘just stepping out for a moment’ creates ‘Swiss cheese moments'.
