The document discusses the new forces shaping the project environment including new technologies like graphene, the exponential growth of data and artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and blending of creativity and technology. It also addresses how projects continue to fulfill key needs of welfare, energy, information, and materials while combating entropy. Environmental imperatives and people power through clever working and blending of humans and machines are shaping new project approaches.
