New: PMO Local Interest workgroup
| 
| 
Developments in the project management field are ongoing. This professional field continuously broadens and becomes profounder. Therefore there is a growing need to extend the attention of project management towards program management, portfolio management and project support (PMO). PMO is an acronym, that is used to describe a Project, Program or Portfolio Management Office.
A PMO is a centralized office, an operation centre, within a business or professional enterprise that enables and supports the execution of multiple projects and programs at the same time in a standard manner. From initiation to completion. A PMO has the aim to achieve an optimum performance for the organization as a whole.
Today, organizations are challenged to be constantly on the move, in transition and to be proactive against the changes in the business environment or society. At the same time organizations run multiple projects and programs, each responding to a different challenge.
Although the existence of a PMO is based largely on project management, its influence goes beyond the project environment. In the business or professional environment, a PMO is the liaison between the business and professional and project participants.
A PMO is a driver for operational excellence and seeks to improve the practices of execution management, organizational governance, and strategic change leadership.
In this light PMI Netherlands Chapter has decided to start a PMO Local Interest workgroup.
On January 31st we will announce the Local Interest workgroup during the Annual meeting and the presentation: The Added Value of PMO.
For our workgroup we are looking for enthusiastic members who are interested to participate and built this workgroup. Our aim is to bring PMO to a higher professional level. Should you have any further questions or if you want to sign up for the workgroup please contact Tjalling Klaucke.

Since PMI Netherlands Chapter is celebrating its 10th anniversary we are starting a Member for Member action called Tell a Friend and get a gift. As you can see on this website every article has a button with this text. By clicking on this button you can send a friend, colleague or relative an e-mail to bring this article or our website (button at the right) to his/her attention. What's in for you ? If you have referred 3 persons to our website you will receive an e-mail with the download links to 2 e-books called A Better Self from the Inside Out and Building Inner Strength and Integrity. But that's not all if you refer more people, and 5 of them have visited our site you will another two e-books called Life Improvement and Self Esteem Boosters. The aim of referring people to our website is to grow our membership. Therefore we would like to thank you in a third way for your efforts. If people you have referred become a member of PMI Netherlands Chapter (and PMI, if they are not already a member of PMI) they will get a refund of their first PMI Netherlands Chapter membership fee of € 15. They can claim this refund by forwarding your referal e-mail with the date of joining our chapter, their bank accountnumber, name of the account holder, residence of the account holder and their PMI number to our Operations Officer. These refunds will be paid on a monthly basis. The refund is only eligible for persons who have not been a member of our Chapter in the last 9 months. For every person you refer who is claiming a correct refund you will be awarded a bonus of € 3,50 (with a maximum of € 28). To link the refund requests with you, you should use your e-mail address that is registered with PMI (i.e. the e-mail address at which you receive your communication of PMI/PMI Netherlands Chapter). The bonus amounts will be paid after the action period (now until the end of April 2012). To receive your bonus amount you have to be a member in good standing during the action period. Note for receiving the e-books you do not have to be a member of PMI Netherlands Chapter. Of course new members can start refering immediately after signing up for the Chapter. In case of any questions please contact our Operations Officer. If 1 out 3 members would refer a new member we would be with over 1000 members at the end of April 2012. That would be a nice anniversary present for all of us!!
