An introduction to our challenging program.

Chairman Peter Storm. The PMI Netherlands Summit 2015 focuses on Next Practices. Time for renewal in our thinking about Project Management. Put the windows open and breathe the fresh air in. The signals were there already in the past years. Signals which suggested that established axioms (unproven but verily believed propositions) have to be changed. For example, the axiom that it’s all about Time management, Money and Quality. Or the axiom that all projects should be managed using the same standard. Or that a majority of all projects is not successful at all. Or that a Project

Manager must have about forty-three competencies. What are the new axioms? That will be expressed at the Summit. I wish you all a healthy 2015 with lots of new ideas I am looking forward to meet you on June 11th in Bussum, the Netherlands!

Introducing keynote speaker Prof. dr. Hans Bakker

Hans is Chair Management of Engineering Projects, TU Delft, Faculty Civil Technique and GeoSciences. Amongst others Hans is member of the Summit’s program board. What will be your message during the Summit? The phrase project management exists now for about 60 years. Via the sharing of best practices we have tried to grow the profession and make it more successful. Unfortunately after 60 years the vast majority of projects is still not delivered according to their own predefined success criteria (money, time, and quality or client satisfaction). We are still trying to improve by sharing best practices, but this is a bit like following Einstein’s definition of insanity: trying to do the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different outcome. What I would be interested in are answers to the questions: What will be our next practices? How will we make our projects over the coming 10 years more successful? What new approach should we follow? Why should we all come to the Summit 2015 and listen to you? Since project management is for me all about people, we have to really collaborate to make projects successful. We have to start learning from each other and our earlier experiences. We have to educate the next generation more broadly. I will get you thinking about the things that we together have to do differently in order to become more successful I am looking forward to meet you on June 11th in Bussum, the Netherlands!

Introducing keynote speaker Brian A. Weiss, MBA, Vice President, Practitioner Markets, PMI What will be your message during the Summit? A project management labor and talent shortage is upon us – and this will cost the world US$340 billion by the Year 2020. My session will offer a global perspective on how markets are transforming, as well as the realities facing today’s executives based on PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® research. This presentation focuses on the leadership and business and

strategic management skills needed by the next generation project manager to be successful in a complex business environment to meet the evolving expectations from high-performing organizations

Why should we all come to the Summit 2015 and listen to YOU? By 2020, 15.7 million new project management roles will be created globally across seven project-intensive industries. For Practitioners, this enormous anticipated growth, along with higher-than-average salaries make now the time for professionals and job-seekers to build project management skills. My session – “Are You Ready?” – will give next-generation project managers the direction they need to succeed and flourish in this new professional landscape. For Organizations, my session will distinguish the characteristics of High Performing and Low Performing organizations as well as Talent Management programs that drive results I am looking forward to meet you on June 11th in Bussum, the Netherlands!

Introducing keynote speaker Bert van Eekelen Msc, MBA, Consultant and Project Manager at ARCADIS What will be your message? In order to deal with complexity and ambiguity, we have to reset our traditional way of thinking about projects and, together with a new generation a trained staff, step up to the next level Why should we all come to the Summit 2015 and listen to YOU? Despite of my theoretical approach, I will present several practices in

which it will clear that the questions of governance were already there, but need to be better

understood in the present society. The lessons learned are mostly based on my PhD study at the development of Zuidas Amsterdam. I am looking forward to meet you on June 11th in Bussum, the Netherlands!

Introducing keynote speaker Marco Eykelenboom, Project director, Fluor What will be your message? Admitted, the elements of the iron triangle (budget, scope and schedule) must be respected. Luckily many effective management techniques have been developed in the last 60 years to do so. Yet, many projects bring themselves into problems by refusing to recognize that the implications of the iron triangle aren’t the only cause of project failure. Misalignment, poor communication, low morale, lack of commitment, conflicts and team issues are frequently listed in lessons learned. Remarkably little procedures and practices to manage these soft elements of project execution are available. Normally the only toolbox the project manager has, is own experience and skill set. There must be another way to avoid project failure and improve our rate of success Why should we all come to the Summit 2015 and listen to YOU? With the help of many others, I have done on-the-job research on the human side of project management in the last 10 years. I had the opportunity to align our findings with real-time execution of capital projects. It is not said that what works for us will work for you, but you might be surprised about the lessons we learned about satisfaction surveys, team profiling and social network analyses. I would like to share my toolbox with you and jointly develop our next practices for future project successes I am looking forward to meet you on June 11th in Bussum, the Netherlands!

Dr. Ir. Richard P.G. Müller, Director Project Management Office, Philips HealthTech, Personal Care. His vision on the PMI NL Chapter Summit:

Thrilling opportunity to enhance our collective conscience on Project Management. Deeper understanding on the needs for Project Managers and how to balance Project Management and Transformation Management in teams.

Richard Müller is a certified PMP and doctor of Philosophy in Aerospace Engineering, working for more than 25 years in Project Management. Since 2 years also Philips certified Accelerate Team Performance coach, executed with Project Teams

John Carroll, Project Management Consultant, John Carroll Consultants, a project management veteran's opinion:

With over 40 years’ experience of project, program and portfolio management, and several books on the subject, John has learned a lot about successful and unsuccessful projects. He believes that we concentrate on the wrong reasons for project failure and this leads us to take the wrong steps to address them. He will explain what he believes we need to do to fix the real problem and provide a road map to the deployment of the required next practices.

Experience from past events Our Chapter Meeting at ASML on 8 March about Stakeholder Management in the context of Sponsors and Supplier Management was well received and, with close to 150 attendees present, it was a very well visited event. The event on 15 April at ExxonMobil tickled the attendant’s imagination and helped to prepare for new developments as we contemplated about the future of Project Management. Getjan Lammers, Implementation Manager at TNT, has extrapolated current trends and involved the audience in an interactive session with statements about the future. Together with the renowned speaker Sander Hoogendoorn, this evening gave the audience much food for thought.

Upcoming events Determined to serve our members as best as possible, the upcoming events will be enhanced and made more interactive with the NetworkApp! PMI NL Chapter is proud and pleased that the NetworkApp is sponsoring us by making their app available for our members to allow for an interactive way to network before and during the event. The app can be installed on your smartphone and provides not only information about the agenda, but also meeting attendees. This will make it possible to chat before an event, to make an appointment to meet each other, but also it provides you the ability to post request or questions for all attendees to respond to. During our events, the app will also enable us to vote on statements and will make our chapter meetings more interactive once again. This collaboration option will help you to reach out for even more expertise and knowledge in our distinguished PMI network. From an event point of view, we dare to say: that the future is now for PMI Netherlands Chapter events! The NetworkApp was piloted during our April Chapter Meeting, where it contributed to a lively interaction between presenter and audience. We will continue to used it in our next sessions. On May 27th, we have organized a Chapter Meeting with the theme: Leadership. Location: Valid, Flightforum, Eindhoven. On June 3rd there is a Program Management Local Interest Workgroup Meeting at IQ2work in Rotterdam. Participants will take part in a team building assessment using XPRNC, the management game for teambuilding. On June 11th we will host the PMI Netherlands Summit. You can find more information in this Newsletter.

Coming soon! We will organize an unique event for all the Project Managers who are also parents…. In September we intend to organize an event together with Philips Jet-Net at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven during which we ask you to bring your sons and daughters along. The details of this program are being worked on, but the intention is that your children will be informed about what Project Management is all about and that we will inform your children how great a career in Science and Technology can be. If you want to come along and don’t have any children, feel free to borrow your neighbour’s or friend’s child.

CCR (PDU reporting) system renewal Stay Relevant. Advance Your Career. Strengthen the Profession. Effective 1 December 2015 the CCR Program will be updated to ensure you are equipped to remain relevant in an ever-changing business environment. The CCR Program was designed to help you grow and develop with the profession. As the global business environment and project management profession evolves, the program is adapting to provide development of new employer-desired skills, giving you a greater competitive advantage. For your convenience, all details about the program updates have been consolidated into a central location on this webpage. Please bookmark the page – information will be added as it becomes available and you will be notified via email when updates are made. For more information checkout this link.

ISO for projects A lot is happening in the world of the development of ISO standards for Project, Program and Portfolio Management. The Netherlands input into this is supplied by the NEN standards committee and the ISO for projects’ Local Interest Work Group, a collaboration between PMI Netherlands Chapter and IPMA-NL. In 2012 the ISO 21500 Guideline on Project Management was published as being the first really globally accepted standard on Project Management. It provided generic guidance on the concepts and processes of Project Management that are important for the successful realization of projects. It provided a common language for organizations working together in projects and will become the key reference for future developments in the profession. The uptake of ISO 21500 by the industry has been slow, but the standard has been adopted already by the governments of Korea, Russia and Italy in the tendering process for large governmental projects. The next set of publications will be on ISO standards for Portfolio Management (2015), Program Management (2016) and Governance of Projects, Programs and Portfolios (2016). We will report more details as the publications come to the market. We plan to provide more insight on these ISO developments in a future Chapter Meeting.
