The PMBOK® Guide 8 gives project finances their own performance domain. Its message: financial figures matter because they drive value-oriented decisions. This session covers defining value, estimating costs, building budgets and reserves, and steering early with earned value.

Join us to celebrate a year of learning, inspiring speakers, and connections across the Women in Projects Network.
We’ll begin with a look back at 2026 and what’s ahead, hear Lily Satterthwaite’s keynote, From Strength to Strength, and then turn to Liz Hector’s practical reflection on setting your compass for 2027.
We’ll finish by connecting with one another.

From Strength to Strength: Drawing on her experience in technology leadership, mentoring, and inclusive communities, Lily will explore how we can recognize our strengths, grow through change, and support others along the way.

Setting Your Compass for 2027: Liz will invite participants to consider whether the way they spend their time reflects what they value most.
Using ideas from her Life Wheel and Values Bridge work, she’ll offer a simple starting point for choosing a meaningful direction for the year ahead. projectskillsmentor.com

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.

Conflict is not an exception in project environments, it is part of working with different priorities, expectations, personalities, and pressures. The challenge for project professionals is not necessarily to eliminate conflict, but to recognize it early, understand what is driving it, and adapt their leadership approach to the situation.

In this one-hour workshop, we will explore conflict resolution and adaptive leadership through the lens of the PMBOK® Guide – Eighth Edition, with particular attention to accountable leadership, empowered teams, stakeholder engagement, resources, and tailoring leadership responses to the project context.

Participants will work through practical project scenarios to identify the source and dynamics of conflict, consider different response strategies, and reflect on when a project manager should facilitate, challenge, negotiate, coach, or escalate.

Führung passiert nicht im Lehrbuch und ist längst mehr als Methoden, Meetings und Meilensteine – sie passiert im echten Leben und entscheidet sich im Alltag, in unseren Projekten, in unseren Unternehmen. In Momenten, die uns fordern, überraschen oder inspirieren.

In diesem #MeetAtHome nimmt Euch Michaela Flick mit in acht realitätsnahe Geschichten aus dem Führungsalltag, die zeigen, wie Powerskills den Unterschied machen: zwischen Reibung und Resonanz, zwischen Mittelmaß und echter Wirkung. Diese Session zeigt, wie Ethik, Mut, Gelassenheit, Kommunikation, Verantwortung und Humor zu echten Erfolgsfaktoren werden. Statt Theorie erlebt Ihr lebendige Beispiele, klare Impulse und sofort umsetzbare Ansätze, die Ihre Führungsidentität schärfen und Ihre Projekte auf ein neues Level heben.

Wir erfahren zudem, was typische nautische Knoten wie z.B. der Palstek mit Verantwortung und Vertrauen zu tun hat – oder warum der Kreuzknoten so ein wunderbares Sinnbild für Kommunikation und Kontakte ist!

>> Wer bereit ist, Führung neu zu denken und Menschen wirklich zu bewegen, setzt hier die Segel.

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.
