The PMI Region Central is very pleased to be hosted again by Ernst & Young in Eschborn. The evening will feature two presentations followed by a discussion, interrupted by a break with the opportunity to network.
 
1. Stefan Knappmann: AI in plain language: Your personal advantage in work and everyday life
Artificial intelligence is changing our world more profoundly and quickly than any technology before. This presentation is your compass in this new era. 
Stefan Knappmann has been active in the IT and finance industry for 25 years as a team leader, project manager, and developer. 
 
2. Mithun A. Sridharan: Mayday! Mayday! Decision-making under Duress
Similarly, today, business leaders and executives operate in a turbulent business environment, marked by geo-political crises, changing marketplace conditions, technological breakthroughs that dirupt industries, and more. Consequently, the ability to make critical decisions under duress, i.e. scenarios where stakes are high and the consequences of decisions far-reaching is not longer a nice-to-have, but a key leadership trait. 
Mithun A. Sridharan is a management consultant, author, and speaker, with more than 22 years cross-industry experience

The event is free of charge. Participants ear 2 pdu for the full  attendance.

Mithun A. Sridharan: We are our decisions!

In an era dominated by AI and data, the human factor is more critical than ever.
Algorithms process information, but they can't replace the judgment needed under pressure.

Our perception is distorted by cognitive biases—hidden traps that influence our choices, from daily decisions to major life events.
While we believe we act rationally, these mental shortcuts lead us to misjudge risks, misinterpret data, and miss obvious solutions.

My talk, based on the book, Mayday! Mayday!: Decision-making Under Duress, promotes a deliberate approach to decision-making.
Using actionable insights from high-stakes, high-pressure scenarios, such as aviation incidents, I provide tools and frameworks to overcome these invisible forces.
The goal is to make traceable, justifiable, and ultimately, better decisions.

Mithun A. Sridharan is Advisor – Author -  Speaker, with 23+ years of industry track record and deep expertise at the nexus between strategy, technology and behavioral psychology. Mithun serves as a change driver, turnaround expert and trusted advisor to his network of executives and leadership teams.pmi-gc.de
