Chapter-Meeting Frankfurt September 2025

Ernst & Young Eschborn

The PMI Region Central is very pleased to be hosted again by Ernst & Young in Eschborn. The evening will feature two presentations followed by a discussion, interrupted by a break with the opportunity to network.
 
1. Stefan Knappmann: AI in plain language: Your personal advantage in work and everyday life
Artificial intelligence is changing our world more profoundly and quickly than any technology before. This presentation is your compass in this new era. 
Stefan Knappmann has been active in the IT and finance industry for 25 years as a team leader, project manager, and developer. 
 
2. Mithun A. Sridharan: Mayday! Mayday! Decision-making under Duress
Similarly, today, business leaders and executives operate in a turbulent business environment, marked by geo-political crises, changing marketplace conditions, technological breakthroughs that dirupt industries, and more. Consequently, the ability to make critical decisions under duress, i.e. scenarios where stakes are high and the consequences of decisions far-reaching is not longer a nice-to-have, but a key leadership trait. 
Mithun A. Sridharan is a management consultant, author, and speaker, with more than 22 years cross-industry experience

The event is free of charge. Participants ear 2 pdu for the full  attendance.
