It was 11 years ago, precisely September 2013, after concluding the 5th annual National Project Management Conference – ProMaCon in Lagos – Nigeria, Deji Ishmael, the then President of PMI Nigeria Chapter had encouraged me to attend the PMI Global Congress (now Global Summit). Attending the event was a transformative experience, that trip marked my first at such a global platform, where I had the privilege of meeting several global thought leaders in the industry including the legendary James “Jim” Snyder, the late founder of the Project Management Institute (I will share this experience in my subsequent posts). One major lesson from the experience is that in life, you need to deliberately put yourself in the environment of opportunity you seek and meet the right people for your career advancement. As we countdown to this year’s PMIGlobal Summit 2024 in Los Angeles – California, I will be speaking on day one Date: Thursday, 19 September, 04:00 PM – 05:00 PM PDT Session 269: Digital Transformation: The Roles of Agility and Effective Project Portfolio Management I really look forward to another terrific experience, meeting new leaders and professionals.

How James Snyder, PMI Founder Influenced My Project Management Career.
How James Snyder, PMI Founder Influenced My Project Management Career. The PMI family and the entire project management community were shocked by the passing of James Snyder, affectionately known as Jim, the last of the founders and pioneering CEO of the Project Management Institute (PMI). For me, his loss felt surreal, as my professional journey wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Jim whom I met at the PMI Global Congress (now PMI Global Summit) in New Orleans in 2013, a moment that remains vivid in my memory. In this short piece and tribute, I recall how project management transformed my career, the great influence of James Snyder, and how Deji Ishmael was instrumental to the journey. And most interestingly, how I ended up as a friend to Jim’s family. Please read below https://lnkd.in/d7p8ycDA Thanks TAB hashtag#projectmanagement hashtag#PMI
