Abstract

I’m excited to deliver a session for the PMI Bangalore Chapter where I will walk you through PMI’s new strategic direction—PMI NEXT—and what it means for our global community and regional chapters.
In this session, I will share how PMI is evolving to stay ahead of industry shifts, support professionals across all career stages, and create greater impact through a stronger focus on innovation, community, and strategic alignment.
I will also take this opportunity to highlight the wide range of volunteering opportunities available at PMI, both globally and locally. Whether you're just starting your journey with PMI or looking to contribute in a deeper way, I’ll offer insights into how you can get involved, grow your leadership skills, and make a meaningful difference.



Learning Objectives:
• I will explain the key pillars of PMI NEXT and how they align with the future of project management.
• I will demonstrate how chapters and volunteers play a vital role in executing PMI’s mission.
• I will introduce the various volunteering pathways at PMI and how you can find one that matches your interests and availability.
• I will share how volunteering can enhance your personal and professional growth.
• I will present real-world stories of volunteer impact from across South Asia to inspire your next steps.
Looking forward to connecting with all of you and sharing how we can shape the future of PMI Community, together.
