Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Today Iโ€™m recording the #5minpodcast from California, where I had the opportunity to attend SAS 2026. In this episode, I share some reflections from the event, always looking at SAS through the lens of projects and project management. And SAS delivered a very clear message. ๐ŸŽฏ This was not about gadgets or isolated innovations. It was about a structural shift in how projects are conceived, delivered, and sustained. What I saw reinforces something essential for project leaders today: the future of projects is not about replacing what already works, but about extending it. Combining classical project management with data, AI, and digital capabilities to create new forms of value. Some of the insights I discuss challenge how we think about teams, decision-making, and the evolving role of the project manager. ๐ŸŽง Listen to the full episode and explore what SAS 2026 reveals about the next evolution of projects and leadership: https://ricardo-vargas.com/podcasts/inside-ces-2026-what-i-saw-about-projects-in-a-world-where-everything-has-ai/ Ricardo #5minpodcast #ProjectManagement #Leadership #Innovation #AI #DigitalTransformation #SAS2026
