Hello everyone, In our April Lunch and Learn session at PMI Dallas, we had Brian Roberts, Solution Manager – Information Security Awareness at Campbell's, speak about ‘Security awareness for everyone.’ A heartfelt thanks to Brian for such an amazing session. It was an insightful session on cybersecurity awareness, and I can't emphasize enough how crucial this knowledge is for everyone in this digital age. Brian delivered a presentation, delving deep into the critical importance of cyber security for everyone, regardless of our roles or industries. From learning about the latest cyber threats to understanding best practices for safeguarding our personal and professional information, the session highlighted the importance of staying vigilant and proactive. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, which means our defenses must evolve too. Cybersecurity isn’t just a “tech” issue anymore. Whether it's strengthening passwords, updating software regularly, or being cautious of phishing attempts, staying vigilant is key to staying secure. I thank everyone who joined our session and made it an engaging discussion. It was inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and engagement of such a dynamic group of individuals. I would like to specially mention Atul Dave, Lorisa Taylor PMP, CSM, Sarah Delgado Visser, Truc-Mai Tran, Jennifer H., Lester Rand, Brittany Wall, Lynn Anderson, MBA, MPA, PMP®, CAPM®, PSM 1, and James Raebel, PMP® for actively participating and making the event more interesting. I would like to thank Ramadevi Lanka - PMP, CSM, AWS CCP, and Darrell Winchell, PMP, CSSGB, for helping me put together this session. I want to thank VP of Programs Patt Chowdhury, Ed.D., MBA, MM, PMP® and our Chapter President Natalia Fisher - PMP,CSM, CSPO,DASM for giving me this opportunity to host the lunch and learn series for the PMI Dallas Chapter. Let's continue the conversation!

Be Like Water – The Agile Insights That Shaped Last Night’s Discussion Our Agile Leadership Network Houston discussion last night was a game-changer. Todd Little, founder of Kanban University , led an insightful session with Gene Lege. Todd and Gene plus Dan Reed in the audience brought together the original minds behind #ALNH If you weren’t there, you missed a deep dive into the delicate balance between prescriptive processes and adaptive change. The key takeaway? When failure is low-cost, why not experiment instead of over-planning? Todd brought Bruce Lee’s “Be Like Water” philosophy into our Agile discussions, emphasizing the need for Agile to adapt to culture just as much as culture must adapt to Agile. Don’t get left behind. Register now for next month’s session on Generative AI led by Chirag P. AI Strategist and Architect. https://lnkd.in/ghHsN7d2 Follow Agile Leadership Network Houston for updates.

Digital Cities 2024: Up to 75,000 Population Category 7th Lake Havasu, Ariz. Lake Havasu City, Ariz., ranked seventh place in its population category, garnering the recognition in large part due to its behind-the-scenes work in transitioning to the cloud. The city has been working to implement Oracle Fusion Cloud, finalizing a major project to move its legacy databases to as-a-service technologies. Secure data in the cloud supports the city’s ability to maintain services in the case of a disaster. It also improves the city’s cybersecurity posture. The city’s plan is to continue transitioning services to the cloud where possible over the coming years for increased efficiency. Another notable project resulted from de-consolidating its courts from the county. The city purchased a facility where it built a courthouse and community room. The courthouse hosts all City Council meetings, leveraging interactive technologies to improve digital engagement. Lake Havasu City is continuing its digital government transformation using digital marketing, social media and a city smartphone app. The city is also delving into artificial intelligence governance and use, including an AI-powered video analytics tool.

Hello everyone, As the Lunch & Learn Director at PMI Dallas Chapter, I had the pleasure of organizing an engaging and interactive Lunch & Learn activity session last Friday that brought together our vibrant community of project management professionals in Dallas. We began with an energizing Mentimeter trivia quiz on project management topics. The engagement and competitive spirit in the room were palpable, culminating in our top 3 winners taking the spotlight for their knowledge and quick decision-making. Congratulations to our top 3 winners, Albert (A.J.) Sonnenberg Jr, PMP, Rajesh Nidwannaya (PMP, PSM, LSSGB), and Tonica Griffin. Following this, we dived into a thought-provoking scenario discussion that blended holiday cheer with strategic problem-solving. The creative problem-solving and collaborative ideas that emerged were inspiring! From leveraging cross-functional skills to implementing backup resource plans, it was clear that the holiday spirit and strong PM practices go hand in hand. A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and contributed to this enriching dialogue. Events like these remind us why fostering a learning community is vital for professional growth. I like to thank Ramadevi Lanka - PMP, CSM, AWS CCP, for helping me put together this session. I want to thank VP of Programs Dr. Patt Chowdhury, Ed.D., MBA, PMP®, and our Chapter President Natalia Fisher - PMP, CSM, CSPO, DASM, for giving me this opportunity to host the lunch and learn series for the PMI Dallas Chapter.

Are You Relying On Personal Relationships To Win A Federal Opportunity? 🚀 Personal relationships are not nearly as important to the outcome of a federal competition as they are in a commercial competition. In a commercial acquisition a CEO can unilaterally make his or her views known and make a decision and the competition is over. In a federal acquisition the source selection authority has the ultimate responsibility to select the winner of a competition, but this decision is subject to review and protest. This does not mean that personal relationships in federal acquisitions are not important. It just means that relying on personal relationships to win a competition in the federal arena is not a guaranteed formula for success. #FederalContracting #GovCon #GovernmentSales #PublicSector #B2G #FedBiz #ContractManagement #CompetitiveBidding #CaptureManagement Download Our FREE Booklet and learn the basics of bidding for federal work:
