If I could work on any project which would I choose??????
I was thinking about projects I would love to be part of – sort of a project bucket list if you will. (Yes I am a nerd). My thoughts went to projects with big impacts or in exciting locations. They also went to projects as legacies or that impact a lot of people.
I decided there were too many to just make a list so I decided to categorize the bucket list. (Yes I am a nerd). Below are the “winners” in each of my chosen categories.
Large Transportation Project: Airport Expansion
Large Infrastructure Project: Subway System
Information Technology: Launch of artificial intelligence technology in a care setting like a hospital or seniors care facility
Special Event: NHL season
Exciting Location: Galapagos Islands (but not sure there is a need for any projects there)
Historical: Building the Canadian National Railway
Humanitarian: building a school or hospital in Aleppo (or another place that has been devastated by conflict)
The great benefit of being a project manager – particularly as a generalist – is that the possibilities are endless. I really enjoy the learning involved in all projects as well as the satisfaction of delivering something that your customer is happy with.
