In all, this year has been a great journey so far, but… let me remind you of a few things that have happened since the last issue of the Critical Path.
We now have a PMI Sydney Chapter Toastmasters Club. Check it out as Toastmasters is a fabulous way to meet other professionals and increase your public speaking confidence in a safe and like-minded environment.
We held a collaborative session between PMI Sydney Chapter, two HR Recruitment consultant companies: Ambition and Paxus, and two Registered Education Providers: UXC Consulting and Peak Performance. It was a successful event and well received by all attendees and participants. More will be happening over the next few months as we enhance our collaboration in that area.
We also held several high quality events with international speakers and collaborative workshops with the Change Management Institute. Furthermore, we presented project management as a life skill at a conference for not-for-profit organisations. (See page … in this issue of the Critical Path).
We have been invited to be the Master of Ceremony at our Singapore sister Chapter’s National Conference which is a great honour and where we will have the chance to meet with the PMI Global CEO to tackle project management challenges and opportunities in Australia.
We also continue to run our online mentoring program and we held a Volunteers Network session so we can get to know all the volunteers, without which the PMI Sydney Chapter system would not exist.
This month we are running two events in collaboration with the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) and an Executive Breakfast with Linkup International, one of our sponsors. Watch this space as we roll out these inaugural events, which will build future demand for this type of collaborative events.
Continue to check out our web site for up-to-date information on who is who and what is happening, when and where.
Remember to pencil in the PMI National Conference in your diaries. May 1-3, 2013. The committee led by Joanne Murray and Kate Morris is working tirelessly to bring a national conference where attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, organisers, volunteers and presenters will truly witness and showcase what 21st century leadership is all about. The market is asking project managers and related professionals to do “more with less”, to “innovate and integrate”, to engage in “21st century tools and techniques” and assist to manage the many “community challenges” Australia and the world are facing. The 2013 PMI National Conference will provide all that and more. Watch this space!
It is that time of the year again, we are preparing for the 2013 Board Nominations. Participate, nominate, join in!
