PMI-AGC Membership & PMP Growth
Hashim M. Al Rifaai
Dear Chapter members, conference delegates & sponsors,
On behalf of the Board of Directors & members of the Project Management Institute – Arabian Gulf Chapter (PMI-AGC), I am pleased to invite you to participate in the PMI-AGC 14th International Conference, Seminars and Exhibitions.
Being exceptional requires pushing beyond the expected, and dedicating oneself to stretch beyond the normal. The low success rates of projects across industries globally has compelled us to place greater focus on how better to plan and execute projects by doing things right the first
time. We have therefore selected “Raising the Bar through Project Excellence” to be the theme of the 14th conference.
The Gulf nations have very ambitious plans for growing their economies and ensure the sustainability of their nation’s welfare in the long term. These aspirations and plans can only be executed through projects, which in turn are the means for job creation, market diversification, tourism, ICT services, etc. The disciplines of project management goes a long way in mitigating failures, and increasing the probability of project success, through better alignment and collaboration among all stakeholders.
To address the concerns for all these stakeholders, we have put together an exciting program for this conference compared to last event.
This premier event is an excellent opportunity to explore ideas, establish new contacts in the region, and learn new benchmarks and hope to see them all well represented at this prestigious event. I welcome all delegates and participants to this exciting event and personally look forward to meet you at the event. The conference program provides opportunities for our professionals as well as our young graduates to share and learn best practices in the banking, ICT, education,
We anticipate around 1,500 delegates from GCC major companies, corporations, as well as prominent individuals from the region & beyond. VIP guests will include top executives from major organizations and governments in the Gulf.
PMI-AGC is dedicated in fulfilling its role as the focal point for assisting its members and ensuring that the projects community get more value. In terms of education, training modules, and certification for in all both private and Government sectors that are involved in project planning and delivery.
I look forward to meet you all in 14th PMI Conference, January 2013.

Rational Change Management Without Hype & Myth (14 PDUs)
Workshop Description : This is a highly interactive workshop that is designed to provide both the ‘theory’ behind Change Management and the practical application of that theory in both small and large Change Management initiatives; from implementing a new software application to Changing the Culture of a Multi-National Organization. The basic premise underlying the course is that we already know a tremendous amount about how we respond to Change both as individuals and organizations gathered through our long term work experience. This workshop is crafted to formalize that existing knowledge so that we can apply what we know.
The course includes Group Work, Discussions, Change Process Models, Change Simulations, Case studies in the form of numerous examples of how we react to Change both positively and negatively.
Some of the specific items covered include; • The myths of Change Management
• The value, and flaws of human behavioral models
• The applicability of the Kubler-Ross Grief Cycle to organizational Change
• The Virginia Satir Change Process Model
• The single point of failure in change management
• Why good, honest, open communications is the pivot point of change management projects
• Why resistance to change is both necessary and desirable
This event is intended to challenge your current thinking about what is involved in managing Change. While the content level is very high – it is also – based upon 1000s of evaluations over the past 30 years – a fun and enjoyable experience.
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) areas covered:
While Change Management is not a section in PMBOK like Risk Management, Human Resources or Communication Management – it is a fundamental body of knowledge that supports all of these areas. Change Management is something that occurs before, during and after Project Management and is a tool that should be part of any Manager’s toolkit.
Who should attend? • Those currently involved in any aspect of Change Management from awareness of need through to
celebration of implementation
• Those required to implement new change initiatives or recover from failed implementations
• Those with expertise in management looking to increase their ability to manage “Resistance to Change”
• Staff faced with unnecessary Change requiring a management acceptable means to resist
• Project leaders who want their clients to embrace the product of their efforts
• Those wishing to attain a practical, reality based understanding of change management
What will my seminar experience cover? This event is intended to challenge your current thinking about what is involved in managing Change. While the content level is very high – it is also – based upon 1000s of evaluations over the past 30 years – a fun and enjoyable experience.
How will I benefit? Develop and enhance the contributions you make to your organization by learning how to:
• Identify threats to the Status Quo
• Involve those affected by the threat, in the selection and implementation of the Change necessary to alleviate the threat
• Design a communication plan to address the real concerns of the Target Audience
• Respond appropriately to concerns regarding the Change in order to avoid reinforcing those concerns
• Empower the organization to direct their own change
• Install support structures to shorten the transition period
• Respect the existing status quo before replacing it with another
• Minimize the pain of change in order to make it easier to embrace
• Recognize why celebrating a transition is not just a reason to throw a party
Which instructional materials will be used? The course includes Group Work, Discussions, Change Process Models, Change Simulations, Case studies in the form of numerous examples of how we react to Change both positively and negatively.
A Change Management book will be distributed to complement the course – as well as a DVD containing at least 5 hours of recorded presentations to view at a later date with your team.

Strategic Applications of Value Management (14 PDUs)
Workshop description : For the last few years, two emergent concepts are starting to take hold in organizations: Stakeholder Governance and Value Innovation. Value Management (VM) is ideally suited to support both and value managers should understand how VM can assist their organisation. The application of VM at organizational level can be a major source of competitive advantage.
Recent bestsellers like “Blue Ocean Strategy” by Kim and Mauborgne from INSEAD and “The Booz Allen Hamilton Global Innovation 1000: Money Isn’t Everything” by Jaruzelski, Dehoff, and Bordia as well as the popularity of Balanced Scorecard (Kaplan & Norton) and the EFQM Business Excellence model, outline organisations’ desire to better understand how to create value beyond the traditional financial view.
Based on a deep understanding of strategic decisions and business benefits, this Master Class seminar draws on the author’s experience and expertise in applying VM at strategic level. It targets all managers who want to deliver business benefits that are in line with the organisation’s strategy, while making sure that these strategies are achievable. It is tailored for business, program or value managers who have some experience in running projects and want to achieve both the delivery of significant benefits and outcomes and improved stakeholder relationship management.
This one-day workshop demonstrates, using a case study and many examples, how stakeholders’ needs analysis, a cross-functional group process, the concept of functions and creative thinking principles, combined in the right framework can help deliver business benefits consistently.
A guide to the Project Management body of knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) areas covered: Project Integration Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project Cost Management, Project Communications Management, Project Risk Management, and Project Human Resource Management and the new Stakeholder Management KA. Also Program Management
Who should attend? This seminar is destined to project, program, portfolio and PMO managers who want to really be in control of stakeholders’ needs and expectations and fulfill them while keeping resources in check. It is tailored for managers who have some experience in running projects, programs or portfolios and want to achieve both the delivery of significant benefits and outcomes and improved stakeholder relationship management.
What will my seminar experience cover? • The Organisational Context
• Concepts of Value and Value Management
• Delivering Strategy and Business Benefits
• The Value Management Framework
• A Strategic Decision Management Process (case study)
• Understand the strategic use of value and value management.
• Know when and how to apply it in organisations with optimum impact.
• Integrate VM within the strategic decision management process.
• Assign the right resources to VM studies.
• Understand the benefits of VM at every stage of a strategic decision process.

Managing the DANCE of Complex Projects (14 PDUs)
Workshop description : Have you ever wondered why, no matter what you do, some projects fluctuate beyond the normal variance? You work hard to carefully manage the project, but the more you try to control it the harder it gets? What you have is a problem managing the DANCE - dynamic and unpredictable changes, increasing ambiguity and complexity and shifting priorities. This course will highlight the reality of today’s complex project environments and challenge the existing beliefs of how we manage complex projects.
In complex projects of any size, but particularly mega projects it is challenging to identify the multitude of variables to be managed, let alone to anticipate how they might interact to create unexpected challenges, can be overwhelming. Managing complex projects requires a new way of thinking and a new approach. This course provides an innovative approach to assess project complexity and apply unconventional techniques to deal with it. You will learn how to determine the real complexity level, and develop an appropriate approach and plan that provides the right level of control and flexibility for success.
Scope Management, Risk Management, Communications Management, Integration Management, Human Resources Management
Who should attend? • Complex Project Managers • Senior Project Managers • Project Directors • Program Managers • Team Members • Executives and Stakeholders involved in complex, large or mega projects
What will my seminar experience cover? • Determining your project complexity and its causes.
• Discussing the limitations of traditional approaches in complex situations.
• Gaining new perspectives and insights about dealing with complexity.
• Applying next generation and unconventional approaches and techniques to managing complexity.
• Balancing the art and science at the intersection of hard and soft skills.
• Latest thinking and insights in leadership and communications.
• Recognize the DANCE of complex project/program environments and the need for new approaches to deal with it.
• Assess the complexity level of your project or program.
• Identify the root causes that impact complexity.
• Determine the appropriate to dealing with the DANCE and complexity of your project/program.
• Identify the key distinctions between planning versus designing; and top-down versus bottom-up governance and determine the right approach for your project/program.
• Discuss and apply next generation approaches and emerging tools for dealing with complexity.
• Identify appropriate leadership and communications strategies necessary for complex environments.
• Discover the hidden beauty in messy projects and learn to embrace the messiness of your project or program.
Which instructional materials will be used? Interactive discussions, case study analysis, group work and hands-on exercises.

Workshop Title: Project Management Competence Learned Through Simulation (14 PDUs)
Workshop description : When using SimulTrain®, participants work in groups of four people on each simulator. They learn from the simulation itself: whenever they make a decision, the simulated people involved in the project will react and give feedback. The participants also learn from the inevitable interactions that take place within their four person group. Each person plays very precise roles (such as supervising the schedule, costs, quality, or motivation) which unavoidably engenders conflict.
The SimulTrain® simulator trains in two different domains:
• Project Management technical competencies • Project Management behavioral competencies
A guide to the Project Management body of knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) areas covered: Covers all Knowledge Areas.
Who Should Attend?
• Project Directors • Project Managers • Portfolio and PMO Managers • Team Leaders
What will my seminar experience cover?
Participants learn to lead a project in its entirety, along with managing all of its stakeholders and theiroften divergent wishes. They learn that a project functions as a system, and that each decision can affect several of the project’s parameters.
While a technical decision may have an impact on productivity, motivation, or communication, decisions regarding the team members and their motivation will have a major impact on productivity and, therefore,on costs as well as on deadlines.
Participants learn to manage and monitor a project on a day-to-day basis, making the countless small decisions that project managers are obliged to make: updating schedules, checking on progress, managing quality, and organizing project reviews.
Participants also learn how to make decisions as a group. The four trainees using the simulator together have to make numerous decisions requiring them to negotiate between the goals of cost, deadline, quality and motivation (each of these four goals is represented by one of the participants). They learn to manage conflict within the team and to take each participant’s perspective into account.
How will I benefit? You will learn how and when to apply both technical project management competencies in all knowledge areas, plus leadership and collaboration competencies, in what feels like a real environment and requires you to resolve conflicts within a real team under time pressure in order to make key decisions about your project and it’s resources. Key to this learning experience is the immediate feedback on project impact created by the choices you make in applying these competencies. This helps generate both understanding and confidence in your abilities as a project manager, while rapidly improving your awareness of how to better apply the knowledge you have. The use of automated simulation based on core project management competencies (in line with PMI® standards) and calibrated against hundreds of real life projects to ensure relevance and accuracy, enables the student to quickly assess impact of various decisions and understand how they could be improved next time.
Which instructional materials will be used?
The workshop will primarily use practical ‘hands on’ sessions with small teams each working on a shared SimulTrain® system to demonstrate the practical application of Project Management competencies.
In addition presentation slides and a student handout with SimulTrain® will be handed out which are used to explain core concepts and to facilitate use of the system by the attendees.
The system provides detailed reports of your performance during the workshop and these will be reviewed at regular points during the workshop and discussed with the class.

Workshop No. 4
Workshop Title: Introduction to Critical Chain Project Management: Practical application on your project (7 PDUs)
Workshop description: This workshop introduces the application of Critical Chain Project Management, based on the Theory of Constraints, in a practical hands-on approach making using of Exepron software.
Critical Chain Project Management is a proven approach for increasing project throughput as well as success rates, but requires a modified approach to scheduling and project disciplines. The workshop discusses these in detail and provides an opportunity for attendees to understand how this would work in practice.Critical Chain Project Management is one of the advanced scheduling techniques introduced in the PMBOK®Guide, and has proven it’s value in improving project throughput and success rates in a range of market sectors, ranging from major construction projects through to R&D and pharmaceutical projects. One of the challenges in implementing Critical Chain on a multi-project basis has been the lack of automation to help project managers use Critical Chain effectively. Exepron offers a clean and simple solution to this problem, and it will be used in this workshop as a tool to help attendees understand how they can now put Critical Chain project management to use easily in their organisations.
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) Knowledge Areas covered, but probably has most impact on: • Time Management • Cost Management • Human Resources Critical Chain has a major impact on Planning and Monitor & Control Process Groups.
Who should attend? • Project Sponsors • Project Directors • Project Managers • Portfolio and PMO Managers
What will my Seminar experience cover? Introduction to Critical Chain Project Management - Basic CCPM principles.
• Basics of Critical Chain Project Management. • Impact of multi-tasking • Impact of switching priorities. • Executive’s use of the Exepron software to track a portfolio of projects: • The Portfolio Dashboards. • The Drum mechanism to schedule a project portfolio. • Disciplines by Project leaders and Task Resources. • Planning, Scheduling and Execution of a Project.
Network Building Attendees bring a current project (Actual Projects) - especially projects tracking behind expected due dates. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to redevelop practical and executable project schedules.
Planning a Project: • Defining the Project Objective, Value and Scope. • Building project networks with the team. • Importance of Task definition to set expectations and deliverables. • Importing Project Tasks from other software into Exepron software.
Scheduling and Execution Scheduling – stabilizing the portfolio of projects: • Scheduling individual Projects. • Creating repeatable templates. • Scheduling a Portfolio of Projects based on Value, Risks and Business objectives.
How will I benefit? Attendees will find there is a way to improve not only their success rate in completing individual projects on schedule, but more importantly to significantly increase the number of projects they can complete within a given time (e.g. each year) using the existing resources available to them.
Which instructional materials will be used?
The workshop will primarily use practical ‘hands on’ sessions with small teams each working on a shared Exepron system to demonstrate the practical application of Critical Chain Project Management. In addition presentation slides and a short student handout will be used to help present core theoretical concepts.

Workshop No. 5
Building and Transforming the Next Generation PMO (7 PDUs)
Workshop Description : The project/program management office (PMO) has been a growing trend in recent years, although the reality of a turbulent business environment is posing new challenges for implementing PMOs. The pressure to deliver more with less and reduce overhead has created a need to find innovative approaches. Whether you are building a PMO to support and enhance your project management capabilities or to focus on the strategic aspects of portfolio management, you may encounter implementation challenges and mixed results.
Although the PMO can offer tremendous benefits and have a strategic impact, the challenge is on the focus of the PMO and the way it is implemented and sustained. This seminar is designed to anticipate and answer the questions associated with the creation and implementation of PMO.
Beside the traditional elements of a PMO, this seminar will outline the steps necessary to establishing or enhancing a next-generation PMO that focuses on both the tactical and strategic aspects. Every organization is unique, and this seminar will provide a framework that will help you to assess your organizational environment and culture and craft a customized PMO and portfolio management plan.
