Hi everyone,It's been a big few weeks for the PMI. It's celebrated it's 50th Birthday in early October and launched a new brand and logo. I was lucky enough to connect up with Vindy Anderson, VP for Brand Management while at the LIM in Philadelphia just before the new brand was launched. Then, on the day of the launch, I did some roving mic interviews to get a pulse from the congress attendees on what their initial perspectives were of the new logo. You can hear all of this in this month's episode which I hope you enjoy.For more about the new brand, check out For even more on the new brand and the Project Economy, check out the following:Two places for more on The Project Economy:- https://www.pmi.org/the-project-economy- https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/welcome-project-economy-cindy-anderson-cae/More on PMI's brand refresh: https://www.pmi.org/about/leadership-governance/ceo-corner/straight-talk-with-sunilMore on stakeholder management as part of the brand refresh: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/stakeholder-management-from-executive-sponsors-cindy-anderson-cae/Thanks,Rob

Hi there,Welcome to the Ireland Chapter PMI Podcast. EP13 & April 2019. In this month’s show, I’m sharing out the full interview and Q&A with one of the PMI founders, Jim Snyder, from the National Conference back in February in Fota Ireland resort, Cork. This was a total sell out and I have to say, it was the best PM event I’ve been at in the decade since I’ve been going to these. Now I’m sure you’re thinking, I’m biased. But this has been echoed back to me during the event and since. It’s a longer than usual episode but very much worth a listen as you get some great insights from Jim on the 50 years of PMI as well as hearing from members of the audience on the day that put questions to Jim. A really special interview. I hope you enjoy it. We will be back next month with content from a recent Dublin Chapter event as well as some updates from the PMI EMEA LIM & Congress that are happening in May. If you’re considering going to the congress, please check out the page on out Chapter site at www.pmi-ireland.org for more details. Enjoy the podcast & have a great week.Connect in with Rob – rodonohue@pmi-ireland.org Best,Rob

Hi there,Welcome to the Ireland Chapter PMI Podcast. EP12 & March 2019. In this month’s show you’re going to hear content we recorded at our national conference back in 28th February in Fota Ireland resort, Cork. This was a total sell out and I have to say, it was the best PM event I’ve been at in the decade since I’ve been going to these. Now I’m sure you’re thinking, I’m biased. But this has been echoed back to me during the event and since. It just seemed to work very well. You’d hope it was executed flawlessly as it’s a PM conference but still…and with Barry Murphy, from Après Match fame, the MC, there was certainly a lot of humour added to it. We recorded a number of interviews on the day with the presenters and some attendees. We also recorded the presentation that Dermott Bannon gave along with the Interview I did on stage with Jim Snyder. More on these in coming episodes. For today, I hope you enjoy the short interviews I did with both Dermot Bannon and Walter Bradley as well as 3 clips from some of the attendees on the day as I asked them, to align with the theme of the conference, how they’ve used Project Management to turn Ideas into Reality. Enjoy the podcast & have a great week.Rob

Episode 10 – Ireland Chapter PMI – PodcastHi all,Very welcome to episode 10 of the Ireland Chapter of PMI Podcast. At the start of the year, we had hoped to do one per month starting in February and we have almost done that.The numbers of listeners, month on month, have been on the rise, with more subscribers every month which is great. We’ve interviewed some great PM professionals and experts during the year…including the founder of the PMI James Snyder, the current President & CEO Mark Langley, a number of our committee members, and others from across the globe that are part of PMI chapters. For me, it’s been an amazing opportunity and experience to get to talk PM with so many people….the common themes of career development, networking, trying out new things, and of course PDUs all come up….but giving back something to the profession is huge and very rewarding. I was lucky enough to present at the Region 8 chapter event in Belgrade in November sharing a HOW TO guide on podcasting for your chapter. If we didn’t start this off, that would never have happened. Before I introduce our guest for this months, just to say thank you for listening in over the year, for your input, feedback, ideas….all have been taken on board.

Episode 4 - PMI National Conference Part 1Hi folks, It’s been a very busy month on the PMI front. Firstly, we held the National conference in the Aviva on the 26th April. It was a sell-out event with some great speakers. The topic was all around making change happen with the tag line of ‘The Change Makers’.Next-up, a few of the committee were lucky enough to attend the the PMI Leadership Institute Meeting (known as the LIM). This is held along with the PMI Congress. This year, it was held in Berlin from the 4-11 May. The Big news coming out of this event is that both the LIM and Congress will be held in Dublin in Mid-May 2019. This is great news the Ireland Chapter, for Dublin and Ireland. It will have been 8 years since it was last held in Ireland so we’re all very excited about it coming back!
