The Automation Mindset presentation introduces a new way of thinking about project management, highlighting the rise of automation and AI. It emphasizes that these technologies streamline processes by using information, reducing the need for extensive human involvement. Mastery in this area requires understanding the core principles behind AI, not just its deployment.
During the presentation, attendees learn three key pillars: natural laws, observation, and structure. By understanding natural laws, they simplify complex situations into manageable information. Through careful observation, they learn to spot patterns and make quick, informed decisions. Structure helps create efficient frameworks, minimizing errors and redundancies in project delivery.
By adopting this mindset, project managers can transform their approach, achieving outcomes beyond traditional methods. They gain clarity and precision to navigate modern business challenges, driving innovation and success for their organizations. Ultimately, the presentation serves as a catalyst for transformation, empowering attendees to harness the full potential of automation and AI in project management.

| About the Speakers |
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Jacob is a thought leader in the areas of education, leadership development, procurement, and supply chain management. He received his PhD from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the area of Supply Chain Management. His research led him to co-develop the Best Value Approach, a revolutionary and internationally renowned approach to business. Their groundbreaking model is the most licensed technology out of Arizona State University in the past 20 years (62 licenses) and has been tested on over 2,000 projects valued over $6 billion in services, with a 98% success rating (on time, within budget, and client highly satisfied), and savings of 10-30% on all project costs.
Dr. Jacob also managed the expansion of the best value approach program throughout the world. He has tested the BVA on over 1000 projects. He is responsible for research done with the State of Oklahoma, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, and the US Army Medical command, where he produced significant results of cost savings, increased efficiency and improved quality to the services provided. His groundbreaking research on the Best Value Approach was integrated into a graduate program and put into practice at Arizona State University for outsourcing food services. The results at ASU led to an investment of $100 million, which was the first of its kind, and the vendor is still surpassing their milestone goals for the University.
The global success of the Best Value Approach inspired Dr. Jacob to author the No-Influence Leadership Model, a radical approach to teaching leadership skills to students and professionals. This unique methodology emphasizes that effective leadership is about understanding and aligning expertise without attempting to change or influence others. This leadership model led Dr. Kashiwagi to create the Leadership Society of Arizona (LSA), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization focused on helping high school students to be successful. Using his professional and educational experience, he has taught this approach to over 8,000 management professionals, 1,500 college students, and 1,200 high school students. He has personally mentored over 150 students helping them use the No Influence Leadership Model to develop lucrative careers and overcome personal instability (substance abuse, family trauma, depression, severe anxiety etc.).
Today, Dr. Kashiwagi continues to champion programs to advance the fields of project management, procurement, and leadership development by presenting to large groups, inspiring young people, giving back to the community and publishing books. He is a two-time Amazon best-selling author of In Search of Truth and No-Influence Mentoring.
