Dear PMI Switzerland members and friends,
In this February 2026 newsletter, Shahidah Foster highlights curated PMI articles to help managers more effectively leverage Artificial Intelligence, providing guidance on asking the right questions and identifying common pitfalls on your road to future-ready projects.
Further extending advice on leading projects, Joachim Dehais discusses the conundrum of big data. In this original french language article, he questions if data are genuine decision drivers or symptoms of analytical paralysis. In another contribution this month, read Joachim’s review of Sylvia Ann Hewlett’s book on what mistakes to avoid to become a great leader.
Recapping a 25 November PMI Switzerland event at Regus Lausanne, Jia-Ying Guan relates intellectual property expert Said Azimov’s presentation offering valuable tips for managing intellectual property. This includes lessons from the field and key actions to drive a project's commercial success.
Also this month, to focus on PMI Switzerland’s 25th anniversary celebration event scheduled 6 March, Mariia Fufaieva speaks this time with Dr. Alexander Matthey, our Chapter’s Romandie team pioneer, who shares personal insights and reflects on how it all began.
Do check our events calendar and social media to ensure you are ready to celebrate 25 years of PMI Switzerland. Find pertinent events and make new contacts, such as the three new Chapter members introduced in this newsletter by monthly contributor, Alp Camci.
