Study Group Session: Processes: Quality management (Oliver Lehmann, ALVISSION EDUCATION GmbH)

Quality planning, assurance and control are often misunderstood. In the workshop, we will explore how these quality management processes work and how this understanding can be transferred to project management.

Our next book club session will take place on Thursday, April 25. This event marks the conclusion of our current theme on Artificial Intelligence as we prepare to transition into our next focus area: Power Skills, beginning with Emotional Intelligence.

This session will feature discussion on two selected titles:

Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI by Yuval Noah Harari – A comprehensive look at the development of information networks throughout history, with a particular focus on their role in the age of AI.

The Artificial Mind: Decoding the Shortcomings of AI and Language Models by Jaideep Tandan – A critical examination of the limitations and implications of artificial intelligence and language models.

We’re also pleased to announce that Jaideep Tandan, author of The Artificial Mind, will be joining us for a guest appearance and discussion.

Our book club is designed for professionals interested in strengthening project management skills through reading and conversation. Participation also counts toward PMI Professional Development Units (PDUs) under the "Ways of Working" category.

We look forward to having you join us as we wrap up our AI theme and continue our journey of professional development through reading."

We delve into the secrets of the BND.

The Berlin Local Group of the PMI Germany Chapter invites you to take part in something very special.

A tour of the BND - at least of the visitor center there.

GERMAN EVENT!

Following a one-hour lecture on the BND's working methods and control mechanisms, we have the opportunity to visit the adjacent interactive exhibition and then sit down in the café nearby for a discussion.
The number of participants is limited to 25.

Conquer Project Chaos

by Raquel Horta (Ireland) https://www.linkedin.com/in/raquelhorta/

Date change from 5.5.25 to 28.4.25

Project chaos is often seen as disorder or unpredictability in a project, but when viewed positively, it can be a catalyst for innovation, adaptability, and creativity. Instead of seeing chaos as a failure, it can be reframed as an opportunity for growth, problem-solving, and breakthrough moments.

We face new challenges in projects every day. With this CoP, we want to take a "deep dive" into a wide range of topics from the broad field of project management across all industries and develop new approaches to tackling these issues, as well as publish them in presentations and articles where appropriate.

PMI understands xMO (Execution Management Office) as a further development of the traditional PMO. While a PMO primarily manages standards, processes and reporting, the xMO focuses on the effective implementation of strategic initiatives. It actively drives transformations such as compliance, digital transformation, Industry 4.0 and cost-saving programs, promotes agile working methods and ensures that strategy and operational execution are closely interlinked.

VISBO will be presenting its solution as a possible management platform for xMOs at this event. The VISBO solution consists of the 5 principles of the Execution Excellence Manifesto and the corresponding VISBO SaaS software.

This event is organized in cooperation between the PMI Germany Chapter and xuviate.
Holders of PMI Certifications can claim 4 PDU.

Industrial organisations often struggle with managing complex, interdependent projects while ensuring smooth operations across multiple, often specialised teams and external stakeholders. This environment frequently results in bottlenecks, misalignment, and operational inefficiencies. Factors such as unclear roles, fragmented communication, and difficulties in coordinating intricate tasks only exacerbate these issues, which, in turn, lead to overloaded teams and projects that seem to go on forever.
Many teams have attempted to address these challenges multiple times, often without success, leaving them wary that any new approach might simply be another waste of time. Because of these repeated disappointments, they struggle to envision and practise alternative ways of working. That is why we have developed a practical, hands-on simulation—built on Businessmap—that goes beyond theory and gives participants the chance to learn by doing. By actively engaging with new methods in a controlled setting, participants gain a clearer understanding of why visualising the flow of work, coordinating across teams, and systematically improving processes can make a significant difference.
While this simulation does not provide instant solutions, it equips participants with the awareness and foundational insights needed to explore and apply these concepts in their own organisations. As an added benefit, it also introduces participants to Businessmap, demonstrating how this versatile platform supports a structured, visual approach to project and process management. Ultimately, the simulation bridges the gap between theory and real-world collaboration, helping industrial teams discover more effective ways of working.

Dear project management friends in and around Hamburg,

in May there will be the next event of the LG Hamburg:

When the whiteboard is no longer enough - with 3D project worlds for shared understanding

3D project worlds are a method of making content quickly and intuitively accessible and presenting even complex relationships in a structured and simple way.

Let's explore the 3D project worlds together in this workshop!

Processes: Procurement management
