Change of speaker for LGDA webinar on 28.5.2025

Unfortunately, the originally planned speaker, Hrishikesh Deshpande, will not be available on 28.5.2025. We wish him all the best.

Our co-volunteer Thomas Walenta ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/thwalenta/) will be the backup speaker with his presentation on wisdom:

Mentally challenged people are treated to develop specific competencies. Psychiatrists have documented ten competencies, which together they call wisdom. If you improve those competencies in yourself, you will increase your capability to withstand mental challenges, become more resilient, and be followed by others as a trusted leader.
You can build and develop your wisdom, helping you to become more resilient and a respected leader who can help teams tackle any challenge.

Project Business, the execution of projects for paying clients, offers big rewards but even bigger risks. When cross-organizational collaborations and execution fails, the consequences can be ugly —ranging from financial losses, legal disputes to damaged professional relationships and broken trust.

This no-fluff session explores:

▪️The Good: Revenue, agility, and innovation wins

▪️The Bad: Financial flops and trust failures

▪️The Ugly: Culture clashes, lawsuits, and leadership black holes

If your career depends on mastering customer-facing projects, this 90-minute deep dive is essential.

39^th English PMI Round Table Frankfurt

PMI Round Table on Project Management topic

Topic: The Elephant in the Room is Systems Thinking

Subtitle: How implementing Systems thinking principles helped bring clarity and control to a complex VUCA project

03.06.2025 18:30 - 20:30

Dear PM enthusiasts, members of PMI and friends,

Greetings and here's the invite to the next English Round Table for the project management professionals living in and around the city of Frankfurt. With this event we intend to facilitate exchange between PMs, and we will talk about Project & Program Management related topic in the Organization.

This meeting will allow you to discuss on any of the project management related topic or questions in your project, program, organization, or your day-to-day activities. Our volunteer team from the PMI Germany Chapter will be available to facilitate the discussion.

As we are an international team, the language of the event is English, and the questions can be discussed in German if required.

Abstract: In high-pressure environments filled with technical hurdles, shifting timelines, and endless escalations, teams often default to a firefighting mode, leaving Systems thinking principles by the wayside. But what if structure was the very thing we needed to restore clarity and deliver impact?

This talk explores how implementing a tailored, lightweight System framework transformed a chaotic, global SAP deployment involving hundreds of rollouts into a well-aligned, agile operation. Drawing on PMP-aligned pillars—scope, change, risk, cost, and knowledge management—I’ll share how, together with Project Management methodologies and Systems thinking principles, I brought measurable improvements in team morale, stakeholder trust, and delivery predictability.

Unprepared for Change:
Regaining Control After Sudden Disruption

We often don’t have the luxury of a “textbook” approach to implementing change or leading a transformation. Sudden regulatory shifts, unexpected market disruptions, or other circumstances can force an immediate response. There’s no time for detailed planning, stakeholder preparation, or even a well-thought-out communication campaign. Does that mean we have to accept chaos and constant crises as the new normal? Not necessarily!

Speaker (Self-Introduction Note): My name is Forough Mohseni and I am 43 years old. I immigrated to Germany in 2021. Before that, I worked for a company involved in EPC projects within the mining and steel industries. I began my career there as a process engineer and later transitioned to the projects department, where I also gained experience as a procurement manager. In 2018, I earned my PMP certification. Currently, I work at Newfer as a project manager. Our company specializes in the design and technology of iron ore pelletizing and beneficiation plants. So far, I have managed three different projects in Iran and three projects in India.
