May Virtual Chapter Meeting
The Strategic Mindset – For Your Organization, Your Career and Your Life
David Barrett
Strategic planning is now a part of the PMI’s Talent Triangle - now identified as a critical component to our current and future roles. However, reading and hearing is one thing but how many of us are in a position to practice strategic planning and execution? ALL OF US.
This session will show us how strategic planning is a key to our success at work but, as well, to our careers and our lives. We will learn how to create a solid plan for any of the three legs and we will leave with the start to our own Professional Strategic Plans.
OSPMI May 2021 Virtual PM Forum
Join us for an engaging discussion at May's Virtual PM Forum and meet your fellow PMs from around RI and nearby communities!
