August Chapter Meeting - Moving beyond Agile Project Management
August 11th - 4:45-6:30PM
ONLINE MEETING ONLY
A new project management (PM) model has been developed at Arizona State University. It is being introduced to the PM community at the SKEMA Business School PM Graduate Program at Lille, France. The model replaces the traditional PM role of managing, directing and controlling to identifying and utilizing expertise in projects. It goes far beyond Agile PM in flexibility, risk minimization, and overall performance. In this session, Dr. Kashiwagi will demonstrate how traditional management approaches create more risk by relying on trust and relationships.

August 2020 Lunch and Learn
Entrepreneurship Built on Project Management, is it Possible?
Given the reality Project Economy that PMI espouses, the "gig economy," and projection of majority of workers to be now 1099 or w9, and not w2 (full time employees), it would behoove for today's project manager professional to continue or start taking control of their career, personal and professional development. One of the tracks that really has not been "preached" is entrepreneurship. Although Scrum coaches will tell us to focus on a "business problem to solve or meet", to be entrepreneurial in business ownership, to add value to the organization --most stop there and the mindset around personal entrepreneurship stops there.

September Lunch and Learn - Managing Difficult Stakeholders
Have you ever lost sleep because of a difficult stakeholder? Maybe it was a boss, peer, or someone on the other side of the business. Perhaps it was worry about having to deal with them in an upcoming meeting. Or ruminating about how they are an obstacle to progress on a project.
In this Lunch and Learn, we are joined by Andy Kaufman, PMP, PMI-ACP, and host of the People and Projects Podcast. We will have an open discussion about the challenges of stakeholder management with an eye on practical ways that we can develop productive relationships across our project stakeholders.
