In this PM Podcast episode, Cornelius interviews Sunil Prashara who is the President and CEO of PMI.
This interview was recorded at the PMI Global Conference 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. We discuss Sunil's responsibilities within PMI, how project management is changing the world, delve into PMI's transformational journey and touch upon how PMI members can help the organization succeed in today's constantly evolving environment.
Here is what one of my colleagues had to say after listening to the interview:
"Bravo! That was an awesome interview! I was very impressed with Sunil, on many levels. He is a true visionary who knows himself and the changing world around him. He is an excellent speaker who understands project management, PMI, and it’s potential future.
This is an interview that many people will listen to and say, "Wow! This is where the future of project management and PMI is headed and it’s inspiring." - Jonathan Hebert, PMP, CSM, PMI-ACP

Student Profile: Harini Beeravolu, PMP
"...My recommendation for PMP aspirants one week before the exam – Do not study new books/materials and please try to revise the notes you prepared. Try to do as many good quality mock tests as possible. I reviewed my progress in mock tests and brushed the topics I was unsure and where was scoring less. PM PrepCast 8 mock tests have been very useful to me as I felt they were close to the real exam. ..."

Join Women in Project Management
|
At the Global PMI Conference, I met Stephanie Samuels and Kimberly Thomsen who are the founders of Women in Project Management, a new US-based non-profit organization that has big plans for the future.
The organization has just launched and aims to provide grants, scholarships, and awards to people interested in project management. Stephanie’s booth at the Conference was one of the most-visited – perhaps that’s a sign of how relevant this group is!
The WiPM team are touring the country in the next 12 months, presenting at many US PMI Chapters, so they might be coming to a venue near you very soon!
You can join WiPM (it’s open to women and men) as a charter member. Use the promo code CHARTER to join up at the website, and while you’re there, take a look at the upcoming events program and scholarship schemes - they could be just right for someone you know.
Important Note: This is not strictly to help you prepare for your exam, but we want to support this new organization.
