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.
Holders of PMI Certifications can claim 4 PDU.

Welcome to the PMI Book Club - September Edition
As we continue our fall focus on Business Acumen, this month’s session explores how project professionals can enhance their decision-making by understanding business value and organizational priorities. Whether you’re delivering complex programs or leading a team, the ability to think strategically and act with business insight is key to long-term impact.

Join host Liz Hector as we unpack what it really means to think strategically, understand the business as a whole, and make smart, value-driven decisions.
October Reading List: Coming Soon!
We’re curating a powerful selection of content to guide this conversation, including books, articles, and interviews with thought leaders.

The final reading list will be released in July 2025.

The materials will center on:

• Strategic decision-making in project and portfolio contexts
• Understanding business drivers and trade-offs
• Translating strategy into project-level action

You’ll receive the reading list via email and our PMI Book Club group as soon as it’s available.

Key Questions We’ll Explore:

• What frameworks can guide smarter business decisions in projects?
• How do we identify and prioritize business value?
• How can PMs and leaders communicate trade-offs and ROI effectively?
• What does it mean to be a “strategic partner” in project delivery?
