PMI Germany Chapter e.V.

On June 14th, the kickoff of the first round of the nationwide mentoring program for members of the PMI Germany Chapter will take place - giving the starting signal for the mentees and mentors.

230409 Mentoring Following a pilot project last year in the North, West and East regions, the chapter-wide rollout began in March and April with a total of 1,628 members nationwide and of the PMI Ukraine Chapter who met the criteria for a mentee or mentor communicated transparently in the invitation (here are more details for the criteria).

From the 75 applications received, 68 members have now been "matched" and formed into mentoring pairs, who will be briefed and familiarized with the rules at the "kick-off" on June 14th.

3,285 members were asked to participate in our member survey. Many thanks to the 282 members, or 8.6 percent who participated.

PMI conducts a satisfaction survey of our chapter members each fall. In addition, in the spring we invited our members to participate in our chapter's own member survey. While the PMI survey asks more general satisfaction questions, we wanted to find out how the specific chapter offerings are viewed.

On May 10th the Kickoff of the first round of the “Youth Empowerment Program” – YEP has taken place and gave the start to the program itself.

What is YEP?

The YEP is an activity of the PMI Germany Chapter to promote young talents in project management.

Actually, the PMI Germany Chapter has one industry specific and five theme focused Communities of Practice (CoPs), which main goal is to exchange knowledge and best practices within a team of volunteers and contribute it externally to different channels like Chapter Magazine, Newsletter, Social Media, etc. CoPs also play a significant role in inspiring and motivating the new members and Volunteers, because it should ensure room for team collaboration, collective learning and sharing of ideas.

The Variety of topics, experience, characters, and vibes across the CoPs is a huge source of potential, that can enormously develop not only the Germany chapter, but also the whole PMI Community.

In order to canalize this potential and energy on more effective and productive way we started developing a new Concept for CoPs’ management.

Diversity and Inclusion are key factors for project success. A diverse team provides delivers better outcomes and more creative solutions, better collaboration and more innovation. Diversity is integral to any organization and so it is to our PMI Germany Chapter!
