Become the CEO of Your Project

Presented by Gabriele Maussner-Schouten, MBA, PMP, BCAP

March 17, 2022, 12pm - 1pm

The role of the project manager has changed significantly; it is no longer about being on time and on budget. It is about creating actual organizational value with a cross-functional team. Today project managers have to step into the role of leaders and change-makers. The 2021 PMI Impulse report talks about going beyond agile and using all available means of structure, processes, and governance to lead and empower teams to achieve project results. In a nutshell, Project Managers have to see themselves as the CEOs of their projects. Join us for an interactive session to explore what it will take to lead your future projects.
