Today\, Mr. Michael Taylor and Ms. Adrienne Somerville will offer the establishment of a new standard of ensuring employees\, at all levels\, know they represent the organization’s most valuable resource: its talent! In essence\, people are the bedrock of all organizations\, upon which talent management and all other company enablers rests. \nMr. Taylor and Ms. Somerville will share the top talent management concepts\, and encourage\nparticipants like you to take the necessary action to spearhead your professional talent management initiative for your individual gain\, while promoting talent management\nthroughout your company for its organizational gain. \nLastly\, Michael and Adrienne will also convey the need to not only understand talent\nmanagement but the data and its organizational value. They will ensure PMI-MC\nparticipants both in-person & virtual understand the importance of collecting data about their workforce\, as it is the foundation regarding the knowledge\, skills and abilities of workforce members. Whether this is your first talent management event or you are a seasoned talent management professional\, you will find keys to help you design\, develop\, and deploy a rewarding and successful talent management career and/or program. \n\nPresenters Bio:\nAdrienne Somerville:\nAs NAVAIR’s first Talent Management Program Manager\, Adrienne designed\, developed and deployed the integrated approach to workforce skills planning and management: increasing flexibility and agility to Department of Defense\, Navy and NAVAIR requirements; nationally synchronizing a variety of functional and organizational skill efforts; and providing the total workforce a clear\, consistent skill-based career roadmap and developmental framework that identified skill gaps and better utilized desired skills to target training resources and meet program requirements.\n\nAdditionally\, Adrienne has over 13+ years expertise in Talent Management and Leadership Development that stems from her Navy career and continues now simultaneously with her own consulting groups\, Talent & Technical Solutions Corporation (TTSC) and Somerville Consulting Group LLC (SCG)\, where Adrienne serves as the CEO of both companies.\n\nMs. Adrienne Somerville is an Amazon International Best Selling Author of Wingspan\, her debuting talent management book\, 2021 Project Opportunity Pitch Competition winner\, Career Communications Women of Color 2020 President’s Award winner and Career Communications Women of Color 2011 Managerial Award winner.\n\nLocation:\n\nNormandie Farm Restaurant\,  Falls Rd\, Potomac MD \nSimulcast delivered via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nSocial Hour/Registration Opens @ 5:45pm \nDinner Service Begins No Earlier Than @ 6:30pm \nZoom Room Opens @ 7:15pm \nChapter Business Remarks No Earlier Than @ 7:30pm \nPresentation w/ Q&A to follow – 7:40pm \n\nProgram concludes No Later Than @ 9:00pm\n\nNOTICE: The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing and PDU Self-Reporting.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool that can complement traditional project management methodologies and enhance their effectiveness. \nThis presentation explores the symbiotic relationship between AI and project management\, shedding light on how AI can be seamlessly integrated into project management practices to optimize processes\, improve decision-making\, and drive project success. \nWe will delve into various aspects of this synergy\, including: \n\nPredictive Analytics: AI-powered algorithms can analyze historical project data to forecast potential risks\, resource requirements\, and project completion times. This enables project managers to make data-driven decisions and allocate resources more efficiently.\nAutomated Task Management: AI-driven task automation can streamline routine project management tasks\, allowing project managers to focus on strategic activities and creative problem-solving.\nIntelligent Resource Allocation: AI can analyze team members’ skills\, availability\, and workload to suggest optimal resource allocations\, ensuring that projects are staffed with the right expertise at the right time.\nReal-time Monitoring: AI-powered dashboards provide real-time insights into project progress\, helping project managers identify bottlenecks and areas requiring immediate attention.\nNatural Language Processing (NLP): NLP can facilitate better communication and collaboration within project teams by extracting valuable insights from project-related documents\, emails\, and chats.\nRisk Management: AI can identify potential risks and propose mitigation strategies\, helping project managers proactively address issues before they escalate.\n\nThis presentation will showcase real-world examples of organizations successfully integrating AI into their project management practices\, resulting in improved efficiency\, cost savings\, and overall project outcomes. Moreover\, we will discuss the ethical considerations and challenges associated with AI implementation in project management and strategies for overcoming them. \nBy the end of this session\, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of how AI can be a valuable complement to project management\, helping organizations adapt to the dynamic nature of today’s projects and drive better project outcomes.

If so\, this presentation can help! \nDiversity\, Equality\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) have never received their just due in the workforce and our communities that the framework holds today. As the country and the world turn more of their focus to building inclusive workplaces that drive sustainable growth and innovation\, all of us play a part in to those efforts being sustainable & succcessful over the long haul. Join us as Ms. Garza-Guidara enlightens our audience on how we can better manage\, plan and implement our projects through more of a DEIB lense that will ensure we get the highest Return on Investment (ROI) possible from our efforts. \n\nPresenter Bio:  \n\nLiz Garza-Guidara is a Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) consultant\, a social justice advocate\, a US Air Force veteran\, and a female Korean American adopted by an Italian American family. She is also married to a wonderful man from Mexico. Her background alone made DEI not only deeply personal to her\, but also a lived truth throughout her entire life. Liz lived and worked in 4 different countries on 4 different continents\, which equipped her with a deep understanding of patterns of oppression in a variety of cultural contexts. She experienced and actively challenged\nracism and sexism during her time abroad and in the US. Liz’s time abroad was enriched by the expertise on race\, power\, and privilege that she obtained from both of her Master’s degrees. \nLiz has a proven track record of successfully implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives. Liz fostered an inclusive climate for a 500-member organization by launching a gender equality program and serving as a facilitator and a keynote speaker. Amid the spike in racially motivated violence from 2020 until the present in the US\, Liz served as a spokesperson at her organization’s racial injustice workshops. Additionally\, Liz served as a keynote speaker for 300-person audiences during Women’s History Month and Asian American and Pacific Islander History Month. By highlighting the structural nature of oppression\, she helped everyone to better understand how implicit bias is systematically reinforced in institutions and in society. Liz also set the stage for a more inclusive environment from a physical infrastructure standpoint. As the design lead for international spaces within her previous organization’s new\n$320 million headquarters building\, she enhanced international collaboration and strengthened 20 international partnerships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s Amore Restaurant\, 15201 Shady Grove Rd #1\, Rockville\, MD 20850  (Downstairs Banquet Entrance) \nSimulcast delivered via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nSocial Hour/Registration Opens @ 5:45pm (If you arrive any earlier\, feel free to start your night up at the restaurant bar on the 1st floor.

Stories from Pharmaceutical Project Management”\nPDU: 1.0 – Business Acumen\nPresentation Download: PMIOctober22Presentation (Click to download)\n\nPresenter: Dr. Bradford Powell\, PhD\, PMP (Founder & CEO of Cernomics Solutions)\nPresenter Website: https://cernomics.com/Home_Page.html\n\nWe understand that our event date conflicts with the Yom Kippur High Holiday. Attempts were made to work with the scheduling so all observing members could still attend our session. We apologize that we were not successful with the re-scheduling. To accommodate everyone\, we will have the meeting recording posted on our YouTube Channel immediately after and will provide the Self-Claim Code for PDU processing to all. G’mar chatima tova! \n\nPresentation Abstract:\n\n No plan survives contact with reality; the best laid plans often go awry for mice\, men\, and project managers! While managing scope\, schedule\, cost\, inputs\, outputs\, risks\, and reports there is some point where a project shows signs of a need for more care. We have all faced the churn of stakeholder misalignments\, re-work of project adjustments\, or heartbreak of under-performance. Indeed\, the agile methodology arose as a solution to the limitations and losses of waterfall style\, command-and-control project management. However\, agile is not suited for all projects. Where it does apply\, it is not a guaranteed prevention and cure. All projects have fundamental challenges of which a Project Manager should be aware\, diagnose\, and treat.  \nIn this session of the PMI Montgomery County MD Chapter evening event series\, we will explore some root causes and solutions to common troubles that plague projects. The focus will be on communications\, assumptions\, and culture\, as told from consulting projects in the pharmaceuticals industry. The intent is to revisit concepts of business acumen to strengthen management tools in trying to answer the questions: Is my project healthy? Can a project be immunized against common ailments? \n\nPresenter Bio:  \nBradford Powell is the Founder and CEO of Cernomics Solutions providing project management support and technical quality consulting in the Bio-Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences areas. Through more than 30 years in industry\, government and university\, Brad’s experience includes managing projects in the life sciences for basic research and development\, science program and product project management\, bio/pharmaceutical product manufacturing\, testing\, and quality compliance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s Amore Restaurant\, 15201 Shady Grove Rd #1\, Rockville\, MD 20850  (Downstairs Banquet Entrance) \nSimulcast delivered via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nSocial Hour/Registration Opens @ 5:30pm \nDinner Service Begins NLT 6:45pm \nZoom Room Opens @ 7:15pm \nChapter Business Remarks No Earlier Than @ 7:30pm \nDr. Powell’s Presentation w/ Q&A to follow – 7:40pm \n\nProgram concludes No Later Than @ 9:00pm\n\nNOTICE: The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing and PDU Self-Reporting.
