In today’s rapidly shifting organisational landscape, Project Managers are no longer just implementers of plans - they are navigators of uncertainty, catalysts of transformation, and anchors of stability for their teams. As Swiss organisations continue to undergo major change and restructuring, the ability to lead with clarity, resilience, and agility has become a defining professional advantage.

On 27 May, the Swiss Project Management community will gather at SIX for an interactive workshop designed to strengthen exactly these capabilities: Navigating Change: How to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty as a Project Manager. This session offers a rare opportunity to step back from day-to-day pressures and reflect on what navigating change truly means in your own professional context.

Why This Workshop Matters Now

Across industries, from financial services to technology, FMCG, and consulting, change is no longer episodic. It is continuous. Project Managers are expected to deliver results while managing shifting priorities, evolving stakeholder expectations, and increasing organisational complexity.

This workshop creates a space to explore three themes essential for thriving in such environments:

• Change Agility - How to adapt quickly and guide others through ambiguity.
• Resilience and Wellbeing - How to sustain performance without compromising personal balance.
• Leadership Behaviours - How to show up as a steady, credible, and empowering leader during transformation.

Rather than offering generic frameworks, the session draws on the collective experience of participants Project Managers who are living these challenges every day. Through facilitated reflection and peer exchange, attendees will uncover practical insights that are directly applicable to their own roles.

What Participants Will Gain

By the end of the workshop, participants will walk away with:

• Insights: A deeper understanding of how to navigate change effectively, enriched by the diverse approaches of fellow Project Managers across the Swiss ecosystem.
• Actions: Concrete steps to strengthen personal leadership, resilience, and wellbeing in times of uncertainty.
• Connections: New relationships and a stronger professional network built through meaningful dialogue and shared experience.

This is not a lecture. It is a collaborative, energising, and highly practical learning experience.
