Leading AI-Enabled Initiatives: Essential Guardrails for Project Success
As AI capabilities rapidly expand across enterprise tools, vendor platforms, and internal systems, project managers are
increasingly leading initiatives that involve AI—even when they aren’t developing the technology themselves. These
AI-enabled initiatives introduce new risks, new responsibilities, and new expectations for project leadership. Success now
depends not only on delivering scope, schedule, and budget, but on ensuring that AI is used safely, responsibly, and in
alignment with organizational values.
This session equips project managers with practical guardrails for leading AI-enabled initiatives with
confidence. Participants will learn how AI changes project dynamics, what unique risks and constraints come with
AI-driven tools, and how to apply governance principles across the project lifecycle.
Cynthia Lynam is the Vice President of Client Delivery at Prodago, where she helps organizations implement practical data
and AI governance frameworks that enable safe, responsible, and scalable AI adoption. With more than 20 years of
experience in digital transformation and technology adoption within the federal government, she brings deep expertise in
leading complex initiatives, aligning diverse stakeholders, and translating governance principles into operational results.
Cynthia also serves as the Vice President of the Victoria Data Society, where she supports the advancement of
professional development in the data and AI community and helps strengthen engagement and collaboration across the
region.
