Dear Practitioners, The pandemic has forced organizations everywhere to reset their ways of working. In today’s business environment, the hybrid model that blends the best of two or more methodologies or practices is unleashing better flexibility and outcomes. At its core, hybrid creates new possibilities in building a more agile and resilient workforce, business operations, or leadership style. In this special edition of Manage South Asia, we give you a sneak preview of the upcoming Project Management South Asia Conference (#PMSAC22), focusing on the theme, “Project Management - Hybrid and Beyond.” Let’s satiate our curiosity and understand from industry leaders how promising the hybrid model is for our future needs.
