What a journey! Our PMI Germany Chapter Study Group is growing – not just in numbers, but in heart, motivation, and impact. 
Whether you’ve just joined or have been learning with us for a while: we’re glad to have you as part of our vibrant community of dedicated project professionals – on the path to PMP/CAPM certification and beyond!

Project management meets product management - two disciplines that often run side by side, although they actually have the same goal: Creating more value for customers and companies. The new PMI Thought Leadership Report “Dual Engines of Success - The Imperative Synergies between Project Management and Product Management” sheds light on how these two approaches not only can, but must, work together to ensure sustainable business success.

How can organizations meet ambitious sustainability goals while leveraging the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) — without creating new environmental risks? This is the central question addressed in the latest Thought Leadership report by PMI: „Sustainability in the Age of AI – The Integration Imperative“.

Why this topic matters now:
Organizations face a dual imperative: Sustainability is business-critical — 93% of executives recognize its importance — yet only 37% have integrated it into core operations. At the same time, AI is advancing rapidly, offering opportunities to optimize efficiency, reduce emissions, and identify sustainability risks across global supply chains. But AI also demands vast resources: the energy consumption of AI systems is rising sharply — a single ChatGPT query, for example, requires many times more energy than a conventional Google search.

The world is facing massive upheaval: Digitalization, energy crises, geopolitical tensions. What do all organizations need now? People who implement change. Project Managers. 

Today more than ever, project managers are at the center of economic transformations. The latest PMI study “Global Project Management Talent Gap” shows very impressively that the demand for qualified project management professionals is increasing rapidly worldwide and is significantly outstripping supply.

The Community of Practice (CoP) Life Sciences has developed with impressive momentum since its kick-off last year. After two successful events, the current focus is on practice-oriented ‘Group Working Sessions’, in which we jointly analyze real challenges from the life sciences project environment. The aim is to openly exchange experiences, learn from each other and jointly develop solutions that will have an impact beyond our own project.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way organizations operate, innovate and compete - across industries and with increasing speed. Whether in healthcare, finance, manufacturing or retail, AI is increasing efficiency, enabling data-based decisions and opening up new potential for innovation.

With the new guide “Leading AI Transformation - Organizational Strategies for Project Professionals”, PMI presents practical strategies and proven methods for the successful introduction of AI in organizations. It focuses on the key roles of the Project Management Office (PMO), Transformation Management Office (TMO) and project experts.

Agility is a must for organizations to survive in today's increasingly volatile and ever-changing business world. The thought leadership report “A New Era for Enterprise Agility” outlines the strategies that highly agile organizations are using to succeed.

This year, we’re realigning our channels – social media, newsletter, website, and chapter magazine. 
Our new approach will combine personal insights, expert articles on project management, and updates on PMI activities.
