Dear project management friends in and around Hamburg,

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

Establishing a Standalone Unit (Carve-out) within the BASF group

- How the PM Toolkit provides direction, focus and execution power

 

Coaching with Ingo Kusch

At our meetings so far last year, it has become clear that our members would like to take a closer look at the PMBOK® Guide. At the next meeting, one of our participants will give a presentation on the topic of ‘Resources in the Performance Domains’ and show how these can be applied in projects in the life sciences sector.
Afterwards, we would like to initiate a discussion and exchange our own experiences and good practices.

Die LG Berlin des PMI Germany Chapters lädt ein zum Online-Event unseres Sponsors Blue-Ant zur Lunchtime:

Ressourcenmanagement – Warum es so oft scheitert – und wiedas Chaos endlich ein Ende hat.

Wir freuen uns auf zahlreiche Teilnahme.

Unclear service definitions are among the most common causes of conflicts, addenda, and delays in construction projects. Scope management is therefore much more than a contract appendix—it is a key management tool for stability, transparency, and economic project success.

Webinar Agenda
17:30 – 18:00 Welcome and Networking - An informal opportunity to connect with others, share experiences, and settle in before the main session.
18:00 – 19:00 Featured Talk Liz Hector – Liz Hector Project Skills Mentor, Blogger, Speaker, and Mentor

Talk Summary
Project environments continue to accelerate, with constant change, increasing complexity, and growing expectations placed on project professionals. For many women working in projects, this pressure can quietly lead to exhaustion, reduced engagement, and burnout.
In this interactive session, Liz Hector explores how project professionals can thrive rather than simply cope. Drawing on emotional intelligence, practical project experience, and mentoring insights, Liz will share how to build resilience at both an individual and team level.

Please address any questions to: Martin.Bertram@pmi-gc.de
