AI is making individual people dramatically faster - sometimes 10x, sometimes even much more. But here's the uncomfortable truth most organisations are discovering: faster individuals don't automatically make a faster company. In many cases, the system actually gets slower. More output, more noise, more things clogging the already overfilled pipes.

The bottleneck was never the individual. It's the space in between - the handoffs, the decisions nobody owns, the workflows that cross team boundaries and stall.

This webinar is about that space.

Project management, as defined by the PMBOK Guide's 7th and 8th editions, encompasses a principles‑based system of value delivery in which project managers apply tailored performance domains — including stakeholder engagement, planning, teamwork, and uncertainty management — to guide teams in producing outcomes that benefit organisations and society.

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.

Construction projects are under a lot of pressure—tight deadlines, complex stakeholders, and increasing demands for transparency and control. An effective Project Management Office (PMO) can be a decisive factor for success if it is understood not only as a reporting unit, but also as an active management and integration tool.

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.
