Thanks for sharing and for your tips!!
Hello Juan, this is an excellent and practical topic, and I am sure would resonate with many of the readers. I think the way we would like to claim the PDUs for Ethics would be around
1. If we create content on Ethics
2. If we get trained on any aspect of Ethics
3. If we deliver training on Ethics
4. If we participate in a meeting dedicated to Ethics, its corollaries, etc.
While I get your point (last para) on identifying the sides of the Talent Triangle, I wonder what would be the business cases (some scenarios I identified earlier) to report PDUs specifically for Ethics.
Nice topic for discussion. Would like to hear from the readers.
So true ! Thanks, it's a very important subject.

Thank you for elaborating on an useful and straightforward approach to identify elements related to ethics as linked to the PMI Talent Triangle.
And a timely topic where ethics is about making the best possible decisions concerning people, resources and the environment (in terms of honesty, responsibility, respect and fairness being the four key values that drive ethical conduct for the project management profession).

Thanks for posting, Juan -- it's a great overview of the Talent Triangle, and a good solution to the question of where to allocate ethics-related training or activities as we log our PDUs. I have recently been trying to do exactly that, but was hampered by the fact that the topic was not explicitly called out in any of the three descriptions. This neatly solves that conundrum!

Thanks, nice point of view.
In my opinion, ethics stays above the talent triangle and permeates the behavior of each Project Manager

Thanks a million for sharing this its so true.
This insightful blog delves into the recent adjustments to the PMI Talent Triangle®, emphasizing the evolving skills essential for project professionals. The shift from Technical Project Management to "Ways of Working," Strategic and Business Management to "Business Acumen," and Leadership to "Power Skills" reflects a forward-looking approach to navigate the changing landscape of project management.
The acknowledgment of ethical considerations, although not explicitly outlined in the Talent Triangle, underscores the indispensable role of ethical behavior in project management. The author rightly highlights the importance of ethics in decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and overall professional conduct, citing the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as a guiding framework.
The discussion on claiming PDUs for ethical considerations provides practical guidance, linking specific elements like "Legal and Regulatory Compliance" to Business Acumen and "Governance" to Ways of Working. The query on experiences with claiming PDUs on ethics opens a valuable conversation, inviting readers to share their insights.
Thank you Juan for sharing this
