SUMMARY:PMI Global Webinar: Project-Driven Organization: Beyond Agile—Build a Company That Puts Projects at Its Core
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations scaled Agile at the team level—but still struggle to turn strategy into enterprise-wide results. This session introduces the Project-Driven Organization (PDO)\, an operating model that places projects at the core of value creation\, funding\, and governance. We’ll explore why “more Agile” isn’t the answer to portfolio overload or misaligned priorities\, and how a PDO reframes execution around fewer\, bigger\, faster bets\, outcome-based governance\, role clarity for sponsors/owners\, and a single source of truth for progress and benefits. We’ll ground the ideas with concrete examples—for instance\, how Haier orchestrates cross-functional micro-enterprises around strategic projects\, and how Mastercard aligns portfolio priorities and sponsorship to accelerate market launches. \nSPEAKER PROFILE: Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez is the global champion of project management and author of the “Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook” (HBR 2021) and Harvard Business Review magazine’s featured article “The Project Economy Has Arrived” (Nov 2021)\, which argues that Projects are the lingua franca of the business and personal worlds. Antonio is the most published author of project management articles in HBR. He is a Fellow and former Chairman of PMI.

SUMMARY:ASCM Chapter Event: The Evolution of Procurement in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:In an era of systemic\, multidimensional volatility\, the role of procurement has shifted from back-office execution to a front-line strategic defense…and even offense! Organizations are now expected to mitigate supplier risk\, ensure ESG compliance\, and drive sustainability\, all while maintaining rigorous cost control. \nAt our February ASCM dinner meeting\, Doug Keeley of Ivalua\, will share his experience and cover key procurement insights & strategies\, including: \n\nModern Challenges: Navigating supply chain disruptions\, regulatory complexity\, and the operational risks of siloed data.\nDigital Solutions: Optimizing the source-to-pay process and automating complex workflows for both direct and indirect materials.\nThe Future of AI: How AI and intelligent automation are transforming intake management and providing predictive insights for procurement teams.\n\nWhile digital transformation across the Source-to-Pay landscape is the recognized path to resilience\, many teams remain hindered by fragmented data\, manual processes\, and the complexity of existing technology ecosystems. \nDoug Keeley will share case studies and perspectives on how a unified data strategy serves as the foundation for high-performing supply chains. Drawing on his first-hand experience with global enterprise digital transformation\, Doug will provide examples of how leading organizations are moving beyond reactive operations to proactive\, strategic decision-making and execution\, and moving towards an AI-powered future. \nWith over 20 years of experience in the procurement technology space\, Doug leads Ivalua’s Source-to-Contract and Direct Materials solutions. He has accumulated diverse experiences ranging from procurement practitioner\, complex SaaS deployments\, solution consulting\, product research and launch\, and thought leadership. Doug holds a B.S. from Penn State University and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh.
