What it is:

In 2018, the planning team decided to do something new and different that would highlight PMI Honolulu, Hawaii Chapter, their PDD event, and feature Next Generation Students as conference reporters and photographers.

The reporters captured the event with observations, descriptions, highlights from each presentation, and testimonials from the audience.

THEME

A'OHE HANA NUI KE ALU'IA

"No task is too big when done together"

The Project Management Institute® Honolulu Chapter is hosting its annual Professional Development Day and this year is special, it is our 20th Anniversary.  To prepare for this special event, we interviewed and surveyed past attendees, speakers, sponsors, and the PMI Honolulu board to truly understand our customers.  That led us to this year's program and the the overall theme of A'ohe Hana Nui Ke Alu'ia : No Task Is Too Big When Done Together. 

We have three special tracks that align with our theme: 

1) Career Pathways: Whether you are new to project management or an experienced PMO manager, this track will consider the career paths and options for advancement that are available to project managers, both inside and outside of the project management field. Come to be a part of the discussion about career planning and mentoring, and hear from local leaders that can share experiences about their own career paths and outcomes. 

2) Practitioner Stories: This will be great case studies where people can tie back the lessons to their work. Stories from all industries - construction, tourism, military, IT, healthcare, etc. The tie back to the overall theme is don’t recreate the wheel, let’s learn together.

3) Creative Approaches: Creative approaches to solve problems of today – This is all about tried and true techniques, new emerging techniques, transformation of techniques and a mash-up of techniques and how to do them in the Real World!  It’s not about silver bullets. It’s contextual, it’s real. As professionals we need more ways to solve problems and uncover opportunities in our dynamic, demanding and ever-changing environments. How do you work WITH your stakeholders to move projects to successful completion?  How do you co-create? How do you build relationships and ohanas with your teams - while accomplishing amazing goals?
