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.

This event is organized in cooperation betweenn the PMI Germany Chapter and xuviate.

This acronym VUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. We hear this term more because it describes many of our work environments. And many of us are surrendering to VUCA.

Close the Gap: Brand Yourself for Recognition & Results

Uncover the power of personal branding to overcome hidden biases, be seen as capable, and claim your space.

Workshop Overview

This interactive session empowers women to strategically close the gaps that hinder professional growth — the visibility gap (why some get recognition and others don't) and the perceived capability gap (often internalized, especially among women, despite real expertise).

Using the proven 4P personal branding framework — Persona, Purpose, Positioning, and Presence — this workshop will guide participants in defining, expressing, and elevating their brand for greater recognition, confidence, and career momentum.

Core Learning Objectives

Reframe limiting narratives that fuel imposter syndrome or self-doubt, replacing them with a clear and authentic personal brand.
Develop strategies to increase visibility and influence in their organization or industry.
Walk away with applicable actions on how to start showing up, speaking up, and standing out with authenticity and confidence.

The 4P Personal Branding Framework

• P1 – Persona: Know Who You Are
• P2 – Purpose: Know What Drives You
• P3 – Positioning: Own Your Value
• P4 – Presence: Show Up Boldly

Key Takeaways

• A personal brand that reflects who you are and what you stand for
• Tools to increase your visibility and credibility in any space
• A reframed mindset around capability and impostor syndrome

Confidence to speak up, take space, and be recognized

We are excited to invite you to our next PMI Germany Chapter e.V. lecture series on Project Management Awareness, featuring our distinguished speaker Frank Saladis, PMP,  PMI Fellow, Director - PMINYC Academic Outreach. 

At this event, all members of the PMI Germany Chapter have the opportunity to ask questions on topics that interest them in connection with the PMI Germany Chapter community. The open dialog in the early evening will be moderated by Joerg Glunde, Vice President Members of the PMI Germany Chapter e.V., possibly together with other volunteers of the PMI Germany Chapter.

Processes: Scope management

The topic will be explained by the processes related to scope and surrounding knowledge areas or domains. As culture has a deep influence to deriving scope this topic will be included. After the session, the participants will know about the importance of scope and its interstices to surrounding domains. Participants will know how to get started and how to decompose to a sufficient level of detail. The students will be able to identify cultural influences to scope analysis and scope decomposition.
