In this episode of Powering ProjeX, host DK dives deep into the persistent struggles of project management and explores ground-breaking solutions with cognitive scientist Dr. Lia DiBello Ph.D, Principal Scientist @ Applied Cognitive Science Labs. 

Despite advancements in tools and methodologies, project success rates remain stagnant at around 30-40%. DK and Dr. DiBello discuss how cognitive limitations, human biases, and a lack of formal training contribute to this issue and highlight a revolutionary approach to overcoming these barriers. 

Dr. DiBello introduces FutureView, an AI-driven training platform designed to enhance cognitive agility and improve decision-making in complex project environments. 

Learn about strategic rehearsals, the importance of understanding the 'why' in project management, and how to foster neuroplasticity to build resilient neural pathways. Dr. DiBello also touches upon using AI as a collaborator for better project outcomes and discusses the potential of leveraging AI further in project management. 

Whether you're an accidental Project Manager or a seasoned project professional, this episode offers valuable insights to transform your approach and achieve consistent project success. 

Tune in for an enlightening conversation that combines cognitive science with practical project management solutions.
