Who makes the decisions, and who gets the work done? Discover how RACI and DACI complement each other to clarify responsibilities, accelerate decision-making, and improve collaboration across project teams. Learn how to apply these frameworks to project delivery, operational transitions, and responsible AI governance.

At our meetings so far last year, it has become clear that our members would like to take a closer look at the PMBOK® Guide. At the next meeting, one of our participants will give a presentation on the topic of ‘Stakeholder in the Performance Domains’ and show how these can be applied in projects in the life sciences sector.
Afterwards, we would like to initiate a discussion and exchange our own experiences and good practices.

From Vague to Voiced: Verbal Presence for Project Leaders

Three everyday habits that decide whether you are truly heard

You know your project inside and out, yet something gets lost when you speak. Presence rarely slips in the big moments. It slips in small phrases: the "just" that shrinks your contribution, the "um" that fills a pause, the update that opens with the problem. Over time, those habits decide whether people see you as someone reporting the work or someone leading it.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way projects are planned, managed, and delivered. But successful adoption requires more than simply adding new tools. In this session, Buso Chika will explore how project professionals can use AI in a practical and responsible way—combining automation, better decision-making, and strong governance to create real business value.
