Inspiration:
"In all the eternity of time, in this infinitely expanding universe, you have for a fact, this one moment. Why then would you want to blow it? Why would you not want to believe in yourself? Why would you want to go through your job, your life, being too soft and fearing failure, afraid to assert yourself, running from conflict, taking abuse from others, playing the victim, not pursuing your dreams, not believing in yourself, not demonstrating the courage to make things happen? Why would you want to operate under the shadow of others instead of creating your own shadow? This is your moment. Life is an adventure. It’s yours to seize. Your career clock is ticking. Now go make a bigger difference." Neal Whitten from the Neal Whitten Group, as spoken in PMI Webinar 'The Wonderful World of Power Skills: Achieving Exceptional Performance.'

Most project managers know AI can help. But knowing that and actually having it set up, loaded with context, and ready to execute meaningful work are two very different things. In this episode, DK walks you through exactly how she has configured Claude CoWork from scratch: the desktop setup, projects, skills files, and voice prompting, then runs a live trial on a real (dummy) portfolio strategy to show what AI-assisted project decision-making actually looks like in practice.
After running a live portfolio strategy trial analysing 301 projects against a $20 million CapEx constraint, DK is clear: AI is outstanding at synthesising large amounts of structured data and giving you a starting position. But real-time reprioritising, reading the room, and navigating political complexity still requires a human. The goal is partnership, not replacement.
💬 Key Quote "I know that it cannot do everything that I do automagically. It just can't. But there is definitely space for AI, and definitely still space for humans. It is just about how we synthesise all of that and create this perfect partnership." — DK (Daniela Kellett)
🧠 This Episode Is a Must-Listen If You... • Have tried AI tools but felt like you were starting from zero every time and never really got traction. • Are responsible for portfolio decisions and want to see how AI can help you think through stop, start, and continue choices. • Work in project delivery and want to understand the practical difference between AI as a chat tool and AI as a genuine project ally.
🧭 What You Will Learn: 3 Key Learnings
Learning 1: Context is everything. If you do not set it up, AI cannot help you. Claude is only as useful as the context you give it. DK walks through exactly how she structures her Claude projects with detailed instructions, attached files, and markdown skills files.
Learning 2: Skills files are your secret weapon for repeatability. Creating markdown (.md) skills files allows you to embed your methodology once and reuse it across every engagement.
Learning 3: AI cannot replace in-the-moment human judgment, but it can dramatically reduce manual work.
⚙️ Most Actionable Takeaways • Create at least one Claude project for your main work area. Write clear instructions: who you are, what you do, what your standards are, and what you need from it. Attach relevant documents so it has real context. • Build markdown skills files for your core delivery disciplines. • Set up Claude on your phone and use voice prompting. • If designing an automated project workflow: N8N for scheduling and triggers, Supabase for structured project data, and Claude for the intelligence and analysis layer. • Run a stop, start, continue exercise on your own portfolio.

🧠 Takeaways
• Your AI is only as smart as the context you give it. Set it up properly once and it pays dividends forever. • AI cannot replace the in-the-moment thinking of a great project manager, but it can eliminate hours of manual work every week. • The partnership between human judgment and AI capability is not a future state. It is available right now, if you build it.
⚡ Closing Thought This episode is a blueprint, not for a perfect AI system, but for the mindset shift that every project professional needs to make: AI is not something that happens to you, it is something you build with intention. DK has done the hard work of figuring out what works, and she is sharing it so you do not have to start from zero.
The project professionals who invest in giving their AI the context and stru

What if the biggest risk to your next project is not the budget, not the technology, and not even the stakeholders? What if it is the skills gap you have been quietly tolerating for years?
In this episode of Powering ProjeX, DK sits down with Kestrel Stone, founder and CEO of Elemental Projects, to confront a truth the industry keeps sidestepping: organisations are racing to deliver more projects than ever before, while investing less and less in the people who actually deliver them. The saw is getting blunter with every passing financial year, and the trees are not getting smaller.
From the 70-20-10 learning model to the four lenses of project complexity, and from skill atrophy in the age of AI to the art of building a culture where people can actually make mistakes and learn, this conversation is a masterclass in what separates resilient delivery organisations from the ones perpetually in crisis mode.
👤 Guest Bio
Kestrel Stone is the founder and CEO of Elemental Projects, a leading Australian provider of project management training and consulting established in 2012. She holds a Master's in Project Management and is a Fellow of the International Project Management Association of Australia. Kestrel serves as a board member of the Global Alliance for Project Professions and is a passionate advocate for the human side of project success. Through Elemental Projects, she delivers accredited programmes including the Diploma of Project Management and bespoke organisational capability solutions, empowering individuals and teams to do good work done well, with confidence and impact.
💬 Key Quote
"AI is great when there's a right answer. But the role of the project manager is to facilitate the conversation between all of those people, reconcile all of those different opinions, and get us in the same boat so we're all heading in the same direction. That's the piece I think we are at risk of losing." - Kestrel Stone

• Certification vs. Practical Skills: A critical examination of project management certifications (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2), emphasizing their pros (such as foundational knowledge) and cons, like overemphasis on accreditation at the expense of essential people skills, team building, and emotional intelligence.
• Team Building and Cultural Evolution: Colin shares proven approaches to fostering high-performance teams, including dedicated team-building sessions, clear communication, and creating psychological safety, with examples of organizations achieving up to 35% improvement in delivery rates.
• The Role of PMOs and Strategic Leadership: Debunking myths around PMs as strategic leaders, the conversation stresses the need for PMOs to prioritize facilitation over bureaucracy.

• Feel the pressure to skip planning and bolt straight into execution on every project.
• Are wrestling with where AI genuinely helps your team, and where it might be quietly eroding critical thinking.
• Lead or fund project management capability development and want a practical framework to move beyond one-off training bursts.

• Want to understand the four dimensions of project complexity and how to match the right human skills to each one.
🧭 What You Will Learn: 3 Key Learnings
1. AI Does Not Replace Judgement, It Amplifies Your Starting Point
The 70-20-10 model of learning tells us that only 10% of skill development comes from formal training. AI fits neatly there: a tool for retrieving best practice, structuring content, and reducing cognitive load on well-defined problems. Where it falls dangerously short is in the 70%, the lived, contextual, messy work of projects where the answer is not a fact to be retrieved but a perspective to be negotiated. Using AI to fast-track into execution without the thinking work of initiation and planning is how projects fail with spectacular efficiency.
2. Complexity Has Four Faces, and Only One of Them Suits AI
Kestrel introduces a framework of four complexity types: structural (lots of interdependent activities), technical (innovation required), directional (competing stakeholder agendas), and temporal (emergent, unpredictable systemic change). AI is a genuine ally in structural complexity, where pattern recognition and schedule analysis add real value. But directional and temporal complexity are fundamentally human territory. They require communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills that no model
