AI, Localization, and Project Management: The Skills That Matter Now
Member Webinar
AI is rapidly changing how localization work gets done: from translation workflows and vendor management to global content delivery and cross-functional project leadership. For localization professionals, the question is no longer whether AI will reshape the field, but how to use it in practical, responsible ways to work smarter and stay relevant.
In this session, Kathleen Walch from Project Management Institute (PMI) will explore what’s happening in the broader world of project management and AI, and what it means for localization professionals whose roles increasingly sit at the intersection of language, technology, operations, and business strategy.
The session will also unpack one of the biggest challenges facing professionals today: knowing what skills to build. Kathleen will share a practical framework for thinking about reskilling and upskilling through the lens of durable, perishable, and enduring skills, so attendees can focus on what will matter most as the AI landscape evolves.
Key takeaways
- How AI is changing localization work, project management, and the skills professionals need to stay ahead.
- A clearer framework for reskilling and upskilling, including which skills are worth investing in now.
