Synergy | A PMI North India Chapter Publication | Issue JAN-MAR 2019

Message from President and CEO, PMI NIC, and Conference Chairman, PMNC18 DEAR CHAPTER MEMBERS & PRACTITIONERS, Welcome to this year’s first edition of Synergy. Last year was very eventful as the chapter hosted PM National Conference for the second time after 5 years.

There were many other highlights, e.g., stabilization of our “Meet & Greet” initiative for new members, maturing of our Ambassador Volunteer Program etc. This being the 10th edition of PMNC, it was all the more memorable. The fruits of quality efforts put in by entire group of volunteers selected from chapter board and member community were visible in the feedback we received, and in the enthusiasm of speakers in listening to other speakers, connecting, interacting, and sharing views with them. Industry and nonindustry speakers presented their views on how to embrace and ride over the disruptions that are being presented to us in multiple spaces ranging from technology to economy to global policies. The need for agility and an organization’s ability to integrate rapidly with evolving technologies were identified as vital skills for survival. We must also attend to the most vital element – the human capital – by way of skill development and helping people achieve work-life balance and happiness. All this was complemented by quite a few new ideas / innovations like • Mobile Application based engagement • Leader Board • Pre-Conference Quizes • Networking Platform • Memory Wall – Last 9 Year Story • Panel Discussions and Key Notes Alignment – Session Wise Themes • Pitch Perfect • Quizzes & Prizes (Lower Ground Floor) during breaks • North India Chapter Ambassador Booth
