Harnessing the Power of Community, Innovation, and Purpose in Project Management

Dear PMI Switzerland Community and newsletter readers,

As summer brings new energy and opportunities, PMI Switzerland stands at the forefront of a dynamic transformation in the world of project management. This edition of our newsletter reflects the collective spirit, curiosity, and commitment of our members. From pioneering AI resources to driving social impact, and from celebrating volunteer leadership to championing lifelong learning, our chapter continues to lead with purpose and innovation.

This year, we proudly launch the Members’ Choice banner, reflecting your top event topics and making our sessions truly member-driven. AI is rapidly transforming project management. Our Curator’s Pick spotlights PMI’s AI Resource Hub, featuring publications, eLearning, and the exclusive PMI Infinity™ AI-powered coach. At PMI Switzerland, we see project management as a force for positive change beyond business. Our partnerships with PMWB, Homeless Entrepreneur, Bevel ON, Engineers Without Borders, and Doctors Without Borders show our commitment to social impact. These projects deliver real benefits to communities in need. We invite every member to join us in making a difference—together, we amplify the power of projects to transform lives. Supporting initiatives like the Bevel ON Capacity Building Programme, we offer free training to professionals in transition, investing in human potential and community resilience. With over 220 graduates, this program shows how knowledge and coaching drive progress.

As the 2026-2027 elections approach, we call on passionate members to lead. If you live PMI values and are ready to commit, stand for election and help shape our future. Continuous learning is now easier with the PMI Official mobile app—track PDUs, manage certifications, and find learning opportunities on the go. Finally, our review of Robert Cialdini’s "Influence: New and Expanded" offers insight into the art of persuasion. The book is full of practical advice, but an abridged version may serve you best. In project management, understanding influence is essential.

Leading together with purpose !

This summer, we celebrate the vibrant, values-driven community that makes them possible. Whether you are exploring new technologies, volunteering for social good, or stepping into leadership, remember: at PMI Switzerland, your passion and participation are the driving force behind our impact. Let’s continue to learn, lead, and make a difference—together.

Warm regards,

Daniel Rodellar, PMP. Publications Director.
