This year’s theme highlights the need to harness the power of “Cultivating Intelligence Spectrum for Project Managers”” to flourish in our rapidly changing times. The “Cultivating Intelligence Spectrum for Project Managers” theme centers on the Great Lakes Chapter providing a user experience that stimulates both project managers and business analysts to learn new things and adapt to rapidly changing environments. PMs are expected to be leaders and the driving force behind successful projects.    

PMs have greater responsibility these days to navigate the rough waters of performance toward project success. The PM must communicate the value of Delivering Value in the New Normal effectively to their colleagues and stakeholders. PMs must understand the impact their attitude makes toward the team around them. In a world where stagnation is a death sentence, innovation driven by the PM is life to a company.   The professional development goal is to motivate our PMs to develop the next level of leadership, effective negotiation skills and become an ultimate peak performer within the PM profession.
