"How the Project Manager Thrives in the Gig Economy" presented by Michael Nir, Sapir Consulting

With the impact of COVID-19 still upon us, the gig economy is accelerating. Project managers have not been left out of this trend. Many such professionals have found that contract work as PMs is flexible, lucrative and rewarding.

In this talk, you will explore critical skills needed to thrive in the gig economy. Attendees will also receive free resources to assist in their journey, such as the “BOLDeR© Imagine Blue Ocean ,” a resource developed by the presenter with practical tips to get you ready for work.

Why is this knowledge important to you?

One of the fastest growing trends in employment is a move away from full-time work. Both employers and workers are pursuing alternative arrangements, including temporary or project-based contracts. Where the two sides meet is where we find the gig economy. And among those participating in the gig economy are experienced nurses, project managers, scrum masters, agile coaches, engineers and marketing consultants.

Sign up today for the presentation to learn answers to:

• What are the fundamental pre-requisites for branding yourself for gig economy employment?
• What does it take to thrive in the Covid19 gig economy?
• How can you prepare for gig economy employment?
