About the Presentation

In today’s fast-changing world, project managers and creative professionals alike often find themselves at a career crossroads—navigating uncertainty, shifting industries, and evolving roles. This engaging, co-presented session introduces C.R.E.A.T.E., a practical framework designed to turn ambiguity into actionable goals through the combined power of AI, creative thinking, and project management tools.

Through a real-world case study from the PMI-OC mentorship program, we’ll show how we applied AI tools for brainstorming, used Trello for project tracking, and developed a creative strategy to clarify focus, build momentum, and achieve goals. Participants will leave with actionable AI prompts and a clear framework for navigating career crossroads or creative challenges—whether they’re pursuing a passion project, exploring new roles, or guiding a team through change.
