Digital transformation is changing more than just processes, tools, and structures. As the use of AI increases and the pace of change accelerates, so do the demands placed on project managers and leaders. Self-management, self-awareness, and resilience are thus becoming critical competencies for effective and sustainable project management.

This one-day workshop focuses on the individual in the midst of transformation. It centers on consciously managing inner drivers and mental patterns, recognizing one’s own strengths, and exploring how these can foster direction, stability, and effectiveness in day-to-day project work.

What’s new at the PMI Germany Chapter, and how can you make more of your membership? At our Online Members Meeting, you’ll learn what the Chapter is currently working on, ask your questions, and contribute your own ideas.

On September 15, the focus will be on volunteering. Alexandra Bruckschen, Vice President Volunteering, will provide insights into the current priorities and show you how and where you can get involved as a volunteer.

The Members Meeting also gives you the opportunity to connect with other members across regional boundaries and exchange ideas within the community.

The CoP Power Skills is back with a lot of power after the summer holidays. We (re-) started with a lot of enthusiasm the Community of Practice Power Skills and quickly recognized the following topics for us:

• Psychological safety (Project manager and team)
• Stakeholder relations, conflict and expectation management
• Development trends in digital infrastructure and willingness to change
• Leadership, motivation, sustainable project results

The first partial results were developed in these different working groups. And after the summer holidays, we, 13 CoP members so far, will continue to work on it in order to soon be able to show noteworthy insights for our chapter members.

Three sessions, three key insights, and four more dates before the end of the year: The current Lean-Agile CoP series explores what it really takes for organizations to become adaptable. The journey continues on September 17 with the “Battle of Principles.”
