PMI EMEA Congress 2017: I wish you an Optimistic future ...

This is how Mark Stevenson, author of the book “An Optimist's Tour of the Future“ and key note speaker last year signed his book during the EMEA Congress in Barcelona– I found it so antagonistic ... so good ...

Have you ever thought about the future and how humanity will need to adapt to the changes that are coming ...? How we will need to innovate or how local initiatives can really impact at a global scale?

There is an old man near me in the cafe .. he looks nostalgic, a face can tell you lot of things, experience, dreams, failures, successes ... Are you curious?

I look at him and thousands of things come to my mind. Thoughts about how things have changed since I was ten years old, What is he thinking about all these changes? Is he really aware of them? Does he care about them? How people moved from small villages to big cities, big data and business intelligence, how work is changing - knowmads new species... and many more to come ... Are we prepared? Do we want/need to change?

   

 Innovation, what’s the real meaning?

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again ... Why it is so difficult?

The world is changing, technological advances are already impacting our labor processes, society is facing and will face more and more complex changes.

   

So,  where is the future of project/program management? Adapt and overcome would somebody say ... PMI EMEA Congress sessions will show you different points of view and real implementations, how companies and people adapted, changed and became agile.

Events evolve together with society and offer different experiences to the user. This is what PMI is offering you at the Congress, not only the opportunity to network and attend really thrilling conferences, but to have an experience, a great one, personally and professionally; and to anticipate to the future.

So, do you stay curious? If so please join us in few days in Rome!!!

The PMI Community Team will be looking for you and your experience! ;)
