FIRST Newsletter in English!

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind ;-)

Just kidding by quoting the first words on moon, but actually we have big ambitions on offering English newsletters to our more and more international community. But please have some patience, now we get just started. Please forgive us the Swedish in some buttons, most of the coming events and also that we mainly repeat the Swedish newsletter initially. But we will look for solutions over time to offer everything in English and we will tailor the content according to relevance. We thought it is better that we get started and evolve than waiting for the perfect solution. Spread the word about it and help us to provide us with good content. You can contact herwig.stockl@pmi-se.org with links, proposed articles etc. If you should have forgotten how to sign-up and need to tell a colleague, press the button!

New International Network in South Sweden

The new International Network in the South is for anyone who wants to take part in English speaking meetings and events. The aim is to welcome and promote PM and PMI to a growing international crowd, as well as Swedes who want to expand their international network. The first meeting has taken place in October with an introduction and brainstorming session for future activities. Keep an eye out for interesting events and casual afterwork meetings.

Wanted: Research study participants

Project managers are not the only leaders in projects. Frequently team members take over as temporary leaders, for example, to solve technical issues in areas the project manager is not specialized in. This questions the appropriateness of existing leadership theory and styles for project settings. PMI sponsors a study on the process and circumstances that balances leadership in projects between project managers and team members. You are invited to participate and receive a copy of the results.
