Dear Rami.
The previous values were:
IMPACT
Project management is a critical competence that has a positive influence on the results of organizations and society.
VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers and effective partnerships between volunteers and staff
are the best way to achieve the goals of organizations
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Through our global reach, we aim to put diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of what we do
Project management is a broad industry and we are committed to always striving for inclusion and honoring the diversity that enriches our global community.
COMMUNITY
Strengthening members of the global project management community is the best way to advance the profession and facilitate its growth.
COMMITMENT
Encourage diverse points of view and enable people to contribute to the project management profession and to PMI.
Perhaps I've been round the block with PMI too many times, but could these be any more generic? They truly could apply to any organization. Values do need to support the purpose or mission of an organization and I don't see that link with these.

Dear Kiron
Thank you for commenting on my post
We agree: "Values do need to support the purpose or mission of an organization and I don't see that link with these."
They removed volunteering from values.
Will PMI start buying services from now on instead of relying on volunteers?

The 2017 Strategic plan contained this about 'values'
Even as a diverse organization, we share a common set of values that are fundamental and deeply held.
At PMI we believe in:
■ Project Management Impact
Project management is a critical competence that has a positive influence on organization results and society at-large.
■ Professionalism
Accountability and ethical behavior ensure our commitment to PMI stakeholders.
■ Volunteerism
Volunteers and effective volunteer partnerships with staff are the best way to accomplish the Institute's goals and objectives.
■ Community
Bringing members of the global project management community together is the best way to facilitate their growth and the advancement of the project management profession.
■ Engagement
PMI encourages diverse viewpoints and empowers individuals to contribute to the project management profession and to the Institute.
The following, current strategic plan as of 2021 does not mention values.
There might be a difference between unspecified 'values' (2017) and 'cultural values' (2022).

Dear Thomas Thank you for participating in this exchange of views and for referring to past PMI values.
There must be an explanation for this dish or any other :-)
Is volunteering over? Is it implicit in what is not explicit? Will they change the business model? Will the Boards of Chapters be remunerated? Is PMI going to buy services instead of volunteering?

Hi Luis,
There must be an explanation for this dish or any other :-) A: we always look for reasons (why) and sometimes it is just a fad
Is volunteering over? A: not at all, people want to volunteer, there are now 11K volunteers registered at HQ, many more in the Chapters. The more suffering, the more volunteering, its human
Is it implicit in what is not explicit? A: sometimes yes. Regarding culture, if there is a stated one, then there is a differing existing one
Will they change the business model? A: they try, and I think they fail. For example B2B.
Will the Boards of Chapters be remunerated? A: they could possibly, depending on their local charters, but I know of none. The PMI Board could try to employ professional directors for money.
Is PMI going to buy services instead of volunteering? A: oh yes they already do, all the B2B people and the marketing people (e.g. regional directors) and letting PwC, BCG, KPMG and other write their concepts, and do not forget buying DA and Flex. And they should spend reserves on furthering their purpose.

Thanks, Luis. Big change from the old values. In my opinion, both combined make a great holistic set of values.

I doubt it given the large army of certified folks out there who rely on volunteering as one of their ways of earning PDUs.
