Episode 11: The Impact of AI on Project Management with Alex Morgan
In this episode, Alex Morgan shares a unique and unexpected journey into the field of project management. Moving to New York without a concrete career plan, Alex initially took up various temporary jobs. A chance encounter at Moody's Analytics shortly after the financial crisis led to a suggestion that he explore project management, a concept he was previously unfamiliar with. Starting with administrative work, he rapidly transitioned into managing projects out of necessity within a small plumbing and engineering business. Alex highlights his liberal arts background in film and television studies, which honed his critical thinking and communication skills. These soft skills proved invaluable in coordinating and translating technical and business requirements across diverse teams and clients. The episode underscores the significance of adaptability and interpersonal skills in project management.
