What is Industry 5.0? (for EU)
• Industry 5.0 provides a vision of industry that aims beyond
efficiency and productivity as the sole goals, and reinforces the
role and the contribution of industry to society.
• It places the wellbeing of the worker at the center of the
production process and uses new technologies to provide
prosperity beyond jobs and growth while respecting the
production limits of the planet.
• It complements the existing "Industry 4.0" approach by
specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the
transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient
European industry.

“AI is not just another piece of technology, it could be one of the world´s
most fundamental pieces of technology the human race has ever created”

Uses / Benefits of this tool
• Identify early warning signals
• Assess the robustness of your core competencies
• Generate better strategic options
• Evaluate risk / return profile of each option
31. #FuturePMO
Scenario: “Back to the old normal”
Covid19 is eradicated. AI does not evolve and there are not AI
applications that can be used in the Project Management / PMO
field. Companies decide that all the employees should go back to
work to the offices as in the past. Digitalization investments are
put on hold.
32. #FuturePMO
Scenario: “Welcome to the new normal”
Covid19 keeps living with us, mutating, creating new variants that
are resistant to the vaccines. That limits again our mobility as
restrictions are imposed by the governments. Companies allows
to their employees to keep working from home some days per
week. International travel is restricted.
33. #FuturePMO
Scenario: “Industry 5.0”
AI has evolved and has taken over from the human beings the
repetitive tasks and the ones related to prediction like risk
identification, scheduling, financial control, etc… Human beings
work together with the “machines”, being able to spend more
time on building relationship with stakeholders. Wellbeing of the
worker is at the centre of the production process and uses new
technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth while
respecting the production limits of the planet
34. #FuturePMO
Scenario: “Terminator”
New Covid19 variants keep evolving while AI has taken over
most of the human tasks. We have eventually created the
technology that gives birth to our own extinction. The Terminators
control the world….

The future is uncertain
And the pace of change is increasing
Visualize different scenarios
And get prepared for them

The idea is to show the evolution, and how this evolution is increasing is pace dramatically
Again, example about how the evolution is increasing its pace
We are in the industry 4.0 phase (and not in all the industries) and industry 5.0 is already coming…. The gap of years between the 4.0 and 5.0 is shorter than the previous ones
There is not yet a common definition / approach about what I5.0 will be and it may differ from regions. For the EU, the approach is the following one
PD -> I have not found references about what is I5.0 for UK
Industry 5.0 | European Commission (europa.eu)
Artificial Intelligence will part with no doubt of the I5.0 (and 4.0)
AI is not just another piece of technology, it could be one of the world´s most fundamental pieces of technology the human race has ever created – Satya Nadella
The future may look like like this
In fact, at Microsoft we already working on the autonomous capability phase. I am leading the first world MSFT project on this topic.
AI powered automation that optimizes your equipment and processes by sensing and responding in real-time
Will the future be like this??
This is already a reality. In some industrial companies and factories are already using Hololens at work
Even if you are not willing to change and transform, your environment is doing it…
Therefore… if you don´t adapt, you may offer less value, and your PMO may be shut down.
Change is not a new thing… as we saw in the slide of the evolution taken from the “Sapiens” book from Noval
One of the first written evidences is from Heraclitus 500 years B.C.
Having knowledge / Data is competitive advantage
What kind of knowledge do we have? Is a Socrates said in 400 BC??
3 classes of knowledge
First step of the scenario planning:
- Define scope and stakeholders involved -> In our case, the future of our PMO
“The first step is to set the time frame and scope of analysis (in terms of products, markets, geographic areas, and technologies)”
. Identify the Major Stakeholders. Who will have an interest in these issues? Who will be affected by them? Who could influence them? Obvious stakeholders include customers, suppliers, competitors, employees, shareholders, government, and so forth. Identify their current roles, interests, and power positions, and ask how they have changed over time and why.
Second phase of the scenario planning tool:
Study the past.
A good example to gather inputs about the past of the PMOs is this book
The book provides a look at how PMOs exist today, and some clues about how and why they’re changing.
Trends will be listed in a whiteboard along all the presentation
What events, whose outcomes are uncertain, will significantly affect the issues you are concerned with? Consider economic, political, societal, technological, legal, and industry factors
Define the potential scenarios
Once you identify trends and uncertainties, you have the main ingredients for scenario construction. A simple approach is to identify extreme worlds by putting all positive elements in one and all negatives in another.
There are further steps like:
Check for consistency and plausibility
Develop learning scenarios
Identify research needs
Develop quantitative models
But for making it more simple in a didactic way, let´s consider only two uncertainties for our presentation
Allows to communicate the need for fundamental change
Importance of thinking globally and developing strategic alliances
Covid keeps living with us evolving to new variants, or not
Artificial Intelligence takes over project management tasks, or not
NOTE: I want to edit and cut the videos. I think it could be too provocative to show the section that says that UK exploited other countries…
The scenarios could be these ones
Some additional text could be included. This is just an example, but when done this in a diverse team, the story telling will be longer

If key actions are included in the last slide it may not be needed a section for Conclusions
Decide if keeping slide 4 or this slide 5 depending on the quality of the picture
