I have read, here in the community, great dissertations on ethics, principles, etc...etc... PMI will stop publishing "PMI fact files" Do you consider that the removal of this information from the community could be interpreted as a lack of transparency? Do as I say...don't do as I do
Curiously... The latest annual report dates back to 2021 https://www.pmi.org/about Is it just a coincidence? Saving Changes...

Laura Coscarelli: Very well said, and like Keith, I also totally agree with you.
In my opinion, one thing that would help for future similar situations, is having the community vote for a decision to remove a feature which many of the community members do value. I have a few ideas which I will run by you during our meeting. Cheers! Saving Changes...
The vision is to collect product feedback from the Champions to start, and then possibly open it up to collect improvement ideas from the broader more "public" community. There is a need to collect feedback on both items to launch and which features/functionality to sunset, so part of that work means that we have to have a mechanism to capture those ideas transparently, including voting, so our product team can prioritize more effectively and get feedback earlier and often.
We're testing an ideation collection process now with our internal team and it's been really helpful to get more transparent and aligned.
Excited to chat, too!

Membership owns PMI. They vote for the Board. The Board appoints the CEO and gives him annual targets. The CEO appoints leadership and sets success criteria for them. The CEO takes a low-key approach as long as the Board does not define how the CEO should engage with the membership. Like you would.
Yes, Luis and Rami, why do we perceive that PMI frustrates membership by gradually reducing engagement, services and respect? Members are not only paying customers.
This is only partially true. A. The candidates for the Board are screened/approved by the Board/Nominating Committee, so the process is quite incestuous. B. When voting for Board members, members have no idea of individual past performance on the Board (for incumbents) nor any idea of what candidates have planned for the organization - people are voting based on a photo and a resume.

Respectfully this is a huge mistake and disservice to the community-at-large.
Please share the foundational pivot, in a process that has been valued by PMI members, prospective members, and business professionals, world-wide for more than 30 years?
Maybe a certification in professional Change Management is in order in this communication.
It is a visible measure of perceived value and success, individual outcomes and a valuable factual resource for a huge dispersed PMI marketing stakeholders world-wide.
Why would you take a key marketing measure away from millions? Where can we get the data, on demand?
Publishing it with a set frequency, will prevent thousands of future calls to your contact center staff to obtain the same data.
Just asking for more insight into PMI leadership “thinking.”
In closing, personally hold and recommend the ProSci Change Management certification, using the ADKAR framework. In this case you skipped to the K phase without communicating the value of the Awareness and Desire phases and facts of your pivot in professional services.
Please feel free to contact me if I can assist further, as a 30 year member, 25 year Chapter leader, global leadership thought leader and speaker and active community servant in many organizations, and University faculty member, touching thousands of future and current members, on a daily basis.
Looking forward to your response……..

Kevin Martin - Thanks for sharing your feedback, and I appreciate your concern about the impact on our support team as a result of the change.
As previously shared in this thread, Thoughtspot is a resource for data: https://www.pmi.org/leadership-central/thoughtspot and the focus of the Online Community Team will remain on growing and engaging our online community, not reporting on insights across the business.

Unfortunately ThoughtSpot is just for Component Leaders, not for other interested PMI members. I would really like to understand why this data can't be published on pmi.org in an appropriate spot as it should just be a simple query populating a web page. Is it a question of a lack of priority, will or something else?

Laura Coscarelli: I do totally agree with Kiron. Given how important this feature is for community members, I also would like to understand why this data can't be published on PMI's website. Thanks!
