Under the device
"Project management-apply knowledge with competence" the Project Management Training forum will be held on October 6 at the Technopark Zurich by the PMI Switzerland Chapter and the spm - swiss project management association.
Participants have a great selection of eighteen training modules of 90 minutes and three of 180 minutes. The 21 training modules, divided into eight subject areas, cover comprehensive, practically-oriented and up to date topics. Due to the positive feedback from last years, some of the training modules are again offered in English.
We are proud to have Dr. Martin Schmatz of the IBM Research Lab Zurich to open the forum with his key note on "Strukturiertes Projektmanagement in einem unstrukturierten Umfeld: Research Management@IBM" and Lukas Christen (www.lukas-christen.ch) former World and Paralympic champion who will hold the closing key note on "Die Unternehmung Mensch - weshalb führen so erfolgreich machen kann". He is now working as a Coach for business, personal and power coaching.
Participants will also have the opportunity to make the most of the event during the breaks, to visit the exhibition stands and to network with partners, friends and other PM professionals.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Forum - be ready for a pure load of Project Management.

jobs offers. Presented as "double sized" banners, these ads redirect you to specific PM and other related open positions from various companies.
We hope these focused opportunities will bring value to our members as well as our advertising partners, who benefit from a privileged channel to communicate their openings to our network of project management professionals.
Please let us know what you think and do not hesitate to forward our newsletter to anyone who may value such opportunities.
