PMI Germany Chapter e.V.

Our planet is in danger. It is time to act.
Scientists, non-governmental organizations and many others have been ringing the alarm bells for years.

It is time for us project professionals to take a close look at the issue as well, because it is through projects that change is shaped and achieved.

For this reason, the European PMI Chapters invite you to the Sustainability Summit 2023 on November 8, 2023.

The participation is free of charge.

The PMI Germany Chapter has set itself the task of being the network for all people in Germany who want to develop themselves further with project management, change something and be successful in doing that. 

In a world that is rapidly changing and includes a wide range of diversity, mutual understanding and adaptability are important competencies for leaders to work effectively in teams in such environments.

We work together in cross-cultural and cross-generational teams whose members all bring their own values, goals and dreams. Mutual understanding and openness to others are very important skills to be successful in projects and organizations.

Digital transformation is taking place at a rapid pace in all areas of society worldwide and is bringing about major changes. Regardless of the challenges we face, it is important to use innovation and creativity to drive projects forward.

To gain a global perspective on how AI works as a catalyst for change in digital transformation, all PMI members worldwide are invited to participate in a survey to provide insights on the use of AI in project management. The project is designed to gain a better understanding of the future of project management and organizational change through digital leadership.

How can we manage crisis situations? We think: Core competencies of project management help us to act in a goal-oriented yet flexible manner in critical situations. Agile methodologies in particular offer a wide range of ways of working and thinking that make it possible to manage complex tasks even in environments with great uncertainty. In a series of lectures we will take a closer look at this.

Promoting and advancing the application of professional project management in all areas of society is PMI's major overarching goal. With almost 700,000 members, PMI is the world's largest organization in this field. For many, simply being a member of this great family is a benefit in itself. However, being a member of PMI and the PMI Germany Chapter brings many additional benefits. These are often not even known. For this reason we are going on a search for you and from now on we will present a "Benefit of the Month" every month.

Starting with this newsletter, we would like to present a "Member Benefit" every month.

We want to start with a work, which should be known to most readers. The basic work of project management par excellence, the PMBOK^® Guide. Due to its great importance for project management as a topic, the work deserves to be mentioned as the first benefit. "Honour to whom honour is due!".

The Special Olympics World Games are the largest inclusive sports event in the world. They are held every two years, alternating between summer and winter games.

This year, the Special Olympic World Games took place in Berlin from June 17 to June 25. The Games were opened with "the flame of hope" in Berlin's Olympic Stadium in front of more than 50,000 spectators.

In September last year, Pierre La Manh became PMI's new CEO. Over the last few months, he has been transforming PMI, creating new organizational structures and gradually filling the leadership positions.

From a German perspective, two names deserve special mention: Johannes Heinlein and Lysan Drabon.
