Rise Above Routine is a practical, engaging leadership session designed to help project professionals identify where comfort and routine may be limiting their performance and influence. Through relatable stories, guided reflection, and the ICAN Framework, attendees learn how to build courage, consistency, and clarity while navigating uncertainty. Participants receive the Rise Above Routine Self-Reflection Checklist and leave with a simple micro-action plan they can apply immediately. This session strengthens communication, resilience, confidence, and daily leadership habits—core skills for today’s project environments.

With the increasing use of AI, how is the project profession being impacted by it? A great question, and in this highly interactive session we’ll explore this question in a more detail. Going back to first principles and exploring just what a project actually is and the main reasons for failure (yes, lots of projects fail), we will discuss how project management may be impacted by the use of AI – and whether AI will make the role of the project manager obsolete. 

Who Should Attend: 

Everyone and anyone! You don’t have to be a project manager to enjoy this interactive workshop – come along, contribute and find out more about projects. 

PMI UK is proud to host PMI Celebrating Women 2026, an in-person International Women’s Day celebration dedicated to leadership, complexity, and value delivery at scale.

Aligned with this year’s IWD theme, “Give to Gain,” this event brings together insight, experience, and community creating a space where knowledge shared becomes collective growth.

The evening will feature a keynote by Grace Najjar, followed by a moderated women’s panel discussion and a networking reception.

This will be a focused, high-impact event celebrating women while exploring the realities of delivering value in today’s complex environments.

In many organizations, especially in traditional and asset-heavy industries like Oil & Gas, digital transformation is no longer optional—it is mission-critical. Yet most transformation programs struggle not because of technology, but because of legacy systems, entrenched processes, and cultural resistance.

In this session, Angel Chew, an international Senior Project Manager with 15 years of experience leading global IT infrastructure, cloud migration, and digitalization initiatives—shares practical, real-world insights from complex programs delivered across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Drawing on transformation work with T-Systems, Halliburton, Shell, and multinational energy clients, Angel offers a transparent look at what it really takes to modernize legacy environments.

This session will explore how AI-powered DevOps can transform software development and delivery by automating tasks, enhancing real-time monitoring, and providing predictive insights for project managers.
However, the true value of AI in DevOps is realised only when technical implementation is combined with effective leadership and change management – ensuring teams embrace new tools and workflows to improve outcomes.

In his presentation Kasim Sen will shared the results and highlights of the “Usage of KPI and OKR in PMOs” survey, conducted between July and September 2025. 92 PMOs from the world participated. The results provide data for the future of PMOs. This survey, which contains valuable insights for PMOs, has revealed some interesting results. He has obtained valuable results that will shed light on the future of PMOs.

In this May edition, we explore Business Acumen for Project Managers — a practical guide that helps project professionals understand how organisations make decisions, which numbers matter, and how to connect project outcomes to business value.

We will walk through selected chapters and examples from the book, looking at how organisations evaluate opportunities, how value drivers and indicators shape decisions, and how business acumen supports better project choices.

Whether you’ve read the book or not, you are welcome — the session is designed to spark interest, encourage learning, and help you reflect on how these concepts apply to your own projects.

Let’s be honest, checking off a project as “done” doesn’t mean it actually did what it was supposed to do. Sure, the boxes are ticked, the handover document is signed… but did it move the needle? Did it deliver real business value or just give us another fancy dashboard no one actually uses?
In today’s whirlwind of constant change, thanks to disruptive technology, organizations are launching transformation projects left, right, and center. But while the activity is high, the impact is often… low!

This webinar would help you flip the script, from focusing on deliverables to focusing on outcomes.

This session demonstrates how PMBOK® principles can be applied to improve diagnostic value chains, optimize turnaround time, and enhance system reliability in resource-limited settings. Drawing on practical lessons from Zambia’s provincial diagnostic network, the presentation explores how project management tools support ISO 15189:2022 and ISO 22367 risk-based implementation. Participants will gain actionable insights on integrating project governance, scheduling, risk management, and stakeholder engagement into diagnostic network strengthening efforts. This session is ideal for professionals seeking to bridge the gap between healthcare operations and formal project management practices.
