The SME Mindset: Decoding IIBA Standards & The Future of AI-Driven Analysis
IIBA Singapore-The SME Mindset Event
Join IIBA HQ SME Tao Chun as he explores the logic behind IIBA learning standards. In this session, he will share how to "think like the standard" to master core competencies and demonstrate how to apply this structured thinking to the new wave of AI and Vibe Coding.
From AI Bubble to Personal Infrastructure: The Era of Vibe Coding and Citizen Developers
PMI CWCC Monthly Member's Event
As the hype around the “AI bubble” cools, many professionals are asking a practical question: what will actually improve my day-to-day work? The answer is increasingly shifting away from expensive, one-size-fits-all enterprise tools and toward something more personal, building simple, reliable digital solutions that fit your own workflow. In this session, Tao Chun Liu will show how project managers and other professionals can move from being passive AI users to becoming active builders. Using “vibe coding” (creating small tools with natural-language instructions) and an open-source mindset, you can prototype solutions, automate routine tasks, and reduce friction in reporting and coordination—without needing a computer science background. This topic is especially relevant in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, where teams across different industries and public sector delivery are under pressure to do more with leaner resources, while maintaining quality, safety, and accountability. Whether you work in a project environment or support one, this talk focuses on practical ways to build “personal infrastructure” that helps you work faster, communicate better, and adapt with less dependency on rigid systems.

Beyond Coding: Transforming PM-Dev Collaboration with GitHub Copilot
微軟 Developer AI 時代研發加速器：GitHub Copilot 實戰
Taking place on January 28th at Microsoft Taiwan HQ, this session features Tao Chun Liu, AI PM Ambassador, alongside Microsoft Cloud Solution Specialist Han-Chi Chiu. While most industry talks focus solely on accelerating coding speed, this session tackles a critical, often overlooked angle: "Making Communication and Documentation Fun with GitHub Copilot." We believe AI is not just a coding assistant but the ultimate translator between Project Managers and Developers. This presentation will demonstrate how to instantly visualize legacy code diagrams, automate documentation and acceptance criteria, and effectively bridge the gap between "Vibe Coding" prototypes and production-ready engineering. Designed for CTOs, PMs, and Dev Leads, this session offers a new perspective on optimizing team collaboration in the AI era.
AI-Driven Project Management: A Showcase of Custom Agents and Vibe Coding Workflows
PMIHK Member Networking Event
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative AI, the role of the Project Manager is not diminishing—it is becoming more critical than ever. We are shifting from mere users of tools to creators of solutions. Join Tao Chun Liu, PMI Global Summit Speaker (2024), for an insightful session that explores why current AI trends necessitate skilled PM oversight. Through a series of detailed video demonstrations, Tao will reveal the potential of “Vibe Coding”—empowering PMs to build technical solutions and custom workflows.
AI for Sustainable Communities: Empowering Generations Through Play and Project Management
Project Management Institute UK Sustainability Summit 2025
In this session, “AI for Sustainable Communities: Empowering Generations Through Play and Project Management,” Tao Chun Liu, PMP, explores how artificial intelligence and project management can come together to create inclusive, intergenerational learning environments that support sustainability and social connection. Drawing from a real community initiative, Tao presents how underprivileged children, parents, and daycare center elders interact and learn together through AI-driven activities designed to spark creativity, empathy, and shared purpose. In this program, children engage with AI through storytelling, drawing, and interactive classroom activities—while parents and elders serve as mentors and co-learners. Through guided sessions, everyone learns how to communicate with AI tools, interpret responses, and use technology as a medium for creativity and self-expression. Elders rediscover their value by sharing life wisdom and receiving support to understand AI concepts, while parents strengthen family bonds and digital literacy alongside their children. The session demonstrates how project management principles—stakeholder coordination, agile adaptation, and impact measurement—can be applied to design, manage, and sustain such social innovation projects. Tao emphasizes the connection to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education), showing how AI can promote lifelong learning, reduce inequality, and enhance mental and emotional well-being through meaningful engagement. By the end of the session, attendees will discover how project managers can apply their skills and tools to design scalable, AI-enabled community programs that nurture sustainability, empathy, and intergenerational learning—proving that technology, when guided by human connection, can truly make a difference.
