Great questions, Luis!
I'd be really surprised if there was a theme change for PMI resulting from the change in presidents as it took many, many years for PMI to update it and that too was to coincide with the 50th anniversary. These values are pretty "apple pie and motherhood" (as we say here in North America). The proof (of any changes, good or otherwise) will be in the pudding... Kiron ...

Dear KironYour comment is very interesting Despite this, he could have referred to the current Principles that form part of the PMI code of ethics and/or values. One thing I'm sure of: - The 2021-2025 strategic plan is being a flop (From the perspective, of course, of the number of members...and/or number of people certified) Who knows if it will be changed :-) Or... at PMI it's like most large organizations... they don't have to report to anyone :-) A good strategic plan (preferably elaborated in the fashion of the big four and, why not, elaborated by them) is essential. As far as execution goes, that's another conversation.
Dear Luis,
On what date did you receive the letter? ...

Veronica, PMI circulated an email from the now president, and all registered members received it.

Kiron nailed it and I couldn’t agree more with him. The proof is in the pudding … that’s the Key. A letter is a letter, action is what makes the difference. RK Dec 26, 2022 12:15 PM

Luis,
I received the email too and was surprised by the new set of 5 'values'. They are indeed imperatives, things the reader is expected to follow. The previous 'values' in the strategic plan 2017 were mere nouns, things PMI strived to follow (impact, professionalism, volunteerism, community, engagement) and they were stable over some years. The 2021 strategic plan did NOT explicitly state values. The PMI code of ethics does not apply to PMI as organisation, it only applies to individuals. So individual and organisational values are indeed different. Individual human values like respect, responsibility, honesty and fairness (and there are a few more) exist for thousands of years in human minds. These values induce similar emotions in humans across communities/churches/nations, if violated or shown (think fairness). They could be transposed to organisations, but this is a different topic. ...

Dear ThomasThank you for your comment on my questions (not all) I remember perfectly that the former CEO of PMI, when changing the logo (and associated with its symbols and colors) created a set of what he called 9 "values": collaboration, determination, change, innovation, teamwork, results, growth, vision and community. It is true that they are not reflected in the Strategic Plan. But, the previous President didn't even "warm up" the place. And the strategic plan was published, if I'm not mistaken, when it had already "taken off". By the way. Why is the CEO not chosen from among PMI members and endorsed as are the members of the Board of Directors? Could it be that the people who make up the "Executive Leadership Team" are also handpicked and, consequently, are not endorsed by PMI members? Out of curiosity, do the people who make up the Executive Leadership Team also have to respect the PMI code of ethics and conduct? Dec 27, 2022 8:48 AM

Hi Luis
many good questions. The 9 values that were published with the new PMI image in 2019 were not meant to be organisational values but were values supported by the design language. Great organisations have 3-5 value statements. Every CEO and President is chosen by the Board based on his or her experience and the needs of PMI, not only looking at members/practitioners but at C suite. And they are expected to lead and set key principles according to targets defined by the Board. The Board alone represents members in the governance model of PMI, members have no role in endorsing staff. It’s the law. Only members, certificate holders and volunteers sign up to the code if ethic, not PMI staff (if they are not also in one of these 3 groups). Will the values change? I think so, PMI still has to find it’s new purpose, role and relevance. Will positioning change? Almost certainly. PMI perceives VUCA and needs to simplify their worldview. Think the change we see comes from a re-focus on where we came from. Thomas ...

Dear Thomas
Thanks for these comments. What will the law be? Can it be changed? In the 2021-2025 strategic plan, the mission (the purpose of the organization) and the positioning of PMI were changed Some products have also changed (the PMI offering) They are looking for what a project manager is and their role in organizations Certain opportunistic behaviors are also tolerated (just look closely at who the leaders of some PMI chapters are) All these changes (apparently it is being a real flop), lead to the exit of focus We are facing the total bewilderment of an organization in a VUCA world Dec 27, 2022 4:19 PM
