I will continue building on the past success of the Singapore Chapter. As with Corporate Boards, stakeholder requirements are of importance to ensure its sustainability. I will align the objectives of the Chapter with its stakeholders (chapter members, PMI APAC and PMI Global). Working with these groups of stakeholders to improve the members services and Board Governance. The two are related as the ability to provide good and efficient member services can only happen when the internal house is in order. As Vice President this term overseeing the Outreach, Membership, Data Privacy, Comms and Marketing portfolios, I have oversight of these Portfolios. I have also provided feedback to the Constitution revision that is being performed currently. I will work together with all the Portfolio Directors to improve the services of the portfolios. As part of Outreach, it is important to form partnerships with other entities and associations with the benefits of the Chapter in mind. I will sign MoUs and partner with other organizations to promote PMI Body of Knowledge as well as to learn from these organizations. The Voice of the Members is important. The Membership Director this term has done an excellent job in organising the members’ meetings, mentorship program, etc. I plan to have more engagement with the members to gather feedback to tailor the services for the members. Succession planning is key to the Chapter. I will build the volunteer pipeline and work with the Board to identify future leaders.

Alicja Kocańda Welcome Alicja! |
I am a culturally astute PMP with multifaceted, cross-functional international experience, who made Singapore her home in 2013. As a natural organiser - attentive to detail and acutely aware of cause and effect - being the bridge between subject matter experts and business development or sales has been a constant throughout my career. Open and effective communication granted me access to influence C-suite decision makers and engage stakeholders throughout organisations. Breadth of international experience and exposure to multiple industries lets me empathise with different individuals and appreciate their viewpoints. People feel at ease working with me and entrust with sensitive activities. After being re-elected with flying colours for the second 2020-21 term, I continued to successfully run communications & marketing, which is a two person job. I also took over the reins for Chapter’s 15th Symposium that everyone was anticipating and expecting to earn PDUs from. People know me for turning challenges into opportunities and converting this mega-event to a virtual experience was the most thrilling accomplishment of my 2020. I am pleased we received very positive feedback even though such setup was a first for the Chapter. This also won us the “Fearless Outcomes” Award in our PMI Region. What is more, my main goal was preserving socially responsible notification and focus on the big picture to avoid random messaging. I hope you welcomed the change. Lastly, I led the introduction of e-voting so all of our Members can finally have an equal say in matters that are relevant. LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kocanda |
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for re-election. I gladly commit much of my time to this Chapter. As Communications & Marketing Director, I was fortunate to be involved in every portfolio for the past two years. I’m genuinely ready to build on the effort from previous terms and I have plenty to give to our community if elected Vice President. Contribution will revolve around the following:

I am the real case study how PMI and the standard project management knowledge and skills PMI is promoting can help each and every one of us advance our profession directly, So I have a passion and motivation to act as “Ambassador” to help Singapore and the region’s younger generation to acquire and/or sharpen their project/program management skills. I think joining SPMI as a volunteer is the best approach for me to fulfil my mission More than 20 years ago when I started to do project work in my business domain, I had the false perception that project manager is pretty much a co-ordinator to schedule meetings and write meeting minutes. It was through my first PMI conference in US in 2000 that I realized project management is a professional skill that can serve you and equip you regardless which business domain areas you are in, and project management skills can be learnt through training and practice. So I studied PM BOK and got my PMP certification in 2002. Project work performance and output quality improvement was so obvious since then that my manager then asked me to help my co-workers to go for PMP certification If I get elected to be PMI Singapore Chapter EC member, I will help promote PMI values and project management awareness and skills learning to younger generations via PMI channels like education foundation, academic outreach initiatives, coaching and mentoring, and any other potential volunteering activities that can help/contribute to PMI vision and goal |

I have been volunteering with PMI Singapore Chapter since 2019 without being on the Executive Committee. My first role was with the social media director to assist in Chapter communications. I want to continue this contribution by coming up with innovative ways to reach members. We have also started to connect with other APAC executive committees to increase cross-advertising of regional events. As a member of the PMI Singapore Chapter board, I want to expand this communication with a consistent call schedule. I will leverage the unique advantages of Singapore — i.e., country location to neighbours, ability for members to reach events easily—to the social committee. My second role has been managing Chapter Volunteer inbox and the VRMS profile (Volunteer Relationship Management System) – PMI online system used to create and sign up for volunteering opportunities. I already cleaned up non-existent roles and developed a template that makes it easy to collect all necessary data required to create new openings in the system. I also send applicant profiles to the appropriate stakeholders to select volunteers. There are many Chapter Members who would like to volunteer, but there is simply not enough availability. As a member of the Chapter ExCo, I would like to co-operate with all portfolio leaders to encourage them to create volunteering opportunities to help bridge the gap. I would also like to revive the “Bring Your Idea To Life” project. Also, I will educate Chapter Members on how to use VRMS if they need help with it.

Maud has delivered many cross-functional and multi-cultural projects across corporate functions, and has worked with compliance and software development at Ericsson, Telia, and ABB. She is excellent at interacting with the different layers of stakeholders that come into a change project and at finding common ground.

I will contribute to Governance and Policy development. Thus far, I have been part of the volunteer work group identifying gaps in our chapter constitution. The project is taking a long time and I believe it is because the focus of the group is almost entirely on the technical deliverable (writing a draft document). Not enough time has been spent on communication and change management. Provided I could have a formal role on the ExCo, and gain document version control, I could assist to address governance and policy issues, and bring the constitutional updates to a close. In short, I propose that you place me in the role of (1) finishing of the technical phase and (2) proceed into the change management phase, ending with (3) acceptance from PMI and ROS. I will help the ExCo to ensure the chapter and/or bylaws are upheld and enforced. In my profile, you can see that I have experience with developing roles & responsibilities, with local regulations, and policy development experience. Plus, of course, conflict resolution skills, the necessary excellent writing skills, facilitation and stakeholder management skills, etc. I make good friends with people, make effective decisions, and know how to execute and bring a project to a close.

I strongly believe volunteering as a great way of giving back to the community and that’s the primary motive with which I would like to nominate myself to be an EC Member.

I wish to stand as an Executive Committee Member in PMI Singapore chapter. Over the years I have managed several business/technology transformation programmes and realized that Senior Program/Project Managers challenged to lead such programs could immensely benefit from awareness and training on Organizational Change Management required to drive culture and behavioural change which is often a pre-requisite for successful business/technology/digital transformation initiatives. I have a vision to explore integration opportunities and potential synergies in the discipline of Program/Project Management and Organizational Change Management. By being an active Committee member of both PMI and ACMP, I wish to explore through my network with support from other senior PMI board members, opportunities for the 2 Organizations to work collaboratively and support each other’s events/forums in interest of building on the synergies of the 2 professions and bringing greater benefits and value to members of both organizations. Additionally, I can continue to contribute in either in a leadership or supportive role to both PMI Mentorship program as well as growing the PMI Disciplined Agile practice in the region give my knowledge and experience volunteering for PMI Singapore. I can also contribute to PMI Professional Development practice by facilitating valuable training and knowledge webinars through my own and PMI network of contacts. I wish to leverage my rich network of contacts to expand PMI Singapore chapter’s influence and reach and make subsequent symposiums and events even more successful and valuable to PMI members which will also contribute to increased local chapter membership and participation.

Welcome Anna! |
Resilient Banker passionate towards the integrated capabilities of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) and service quality. Parallel to my progressive career in banking industry, I became a dedicated volunteer and servant leader of PMI SG Chapter with 100% attendance in all Executive Committee Meetings. Since you elected me in May 2019 as Internal Auditor, I have been the Chapter Members’ conscience and accomplished the following: • Identification of gaps in operational risk management In April 2020, you voted for me as Executive Committee member and I revitalized the role of Governance and Policy through the following: Despite the demands of full-time job and pandemic constraints, I provided leadership insights drawn from my multi-disciplinary education: In parallel, I capitalized on my technical competencies shaped by the following certifications: From mix-racial background, I am a natural advocate of diversity and inclusion and I would like us to connect towards the advancement of proper governance in #project economy.

If I will have the opportunity to serve as Executive Committee Member for Governance and Policy for 2021-2022, I plan to achieve the following goals: 1. To continue with the review, amendment and ratification process of the “PMI Singapore Chapter Constitution and Bylaws” as measured by: • A data-driven members’ opinion on the proposed amendments. This means conducting an information awareness session that will facilitate the members’ comprehension of the rationale of proposed changes with due regard to majority’s intellectual and emotional preference. • Projectized approach linked to Legislative Process. This means the project stages (i.e. initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and closing) will be embedded in the legislative process to ensure objectivity in the opinion poll, referendum, ratification, and adoption. 2. To conduct a “Quality Assurance Check.” It is critical to administer the risk control assessment to determine our Chapter’s compliance level with applicable Singapore governmental laws, regulations and adherence to PMI Global Guidelines and how we benchmark ourselves vs. best-in-class practices. 3. To lead the periodic “Disclosure” to members, being the supreme authority. Disclosure should encapsulate the Chapter’s operational activities, leadership performance, achievements, breaches and lessons learned. 4. To host the “Members’ Pulse Check” via townhall or focus group discussion. The outcome must be used as metrics and Chapter maturity indicators in order to maintain transparency. 5. To increase “Engagement through Volunteerism” by discovering the needs and aspirations of members who could be in the pipeline of Chapter leaders |
