PMI Sydney Chapter Full Day Event : 21 October 2019 - Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS)

What is PMDoS?

Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS) is an event whereby PMI members are partnered with charities and not-for-profit organizations (NfPO) to offer a unique service that has been pioneered by PMI. PMI members will partner with their designated charities or NfPO to provide a solution or strategy to drive their client initiatives forward.

The PMDoS has been conducted in several locations in the U.S. e.g. Houston, Washington DC and New York.

In Australia, PMDoS has become a national event and is usually held simultaneously on the same day by other PMI chapters. PMI Queensland has been successfully holding their event for the past 3 years whilst PMI Sydney held its very successful inaugural event in 2018. Other chapters are starting small. PMDoS is promising to be an outstanding opportunity to learn and turn ideas into reality.

What's new this year?

For the very first time PMI Sydney Chapter will host the event in collaboration with two highly respectable organisations: The Australian Chapter of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) and Humanity in Business. This joint effort will allow PM professionals to leverage a wider skillset to deepen the combined professional contributions to charity organisations.

PMI Members - How does it work?
Prior to the day, the consulting team (Two or Three project managers) will be provided with a factsheet of initiative(s) from the Charity organisations. The consulting team will perform prior research and prepare for the day, to advance those initiatives. Each organisation can send up to five representatives who will speak to the specific initiative they wish to tackle at the event. Seated at the same table, you will partner the charity through the day to deliver those artefacts which will supplement the goals of the Charity and drive them to the next level of the Charity’s Objectives.
