Dear Project Management Community,

July marks an important milestone as we ran our 100th Open Membership Meeting (OMM), featuring two prominent speakers who walked us through the Chapter’s past, present and future. We also concluded our Study Group Season 15, congratulations to the mentees for your endurance and I wish you all the best on your PMP exam. The Chapter goes to Indraprasta University as part of the “Goes to Campus” program and introduced PMI to eager students and their lecturers. Our volunteers delivered talks on agile and project management.

We feature an article about the widening gap between strategy and execution that creates misalignment in the eventual benefi t upon project completion. There is also an interesting article about the gig economy, which drives the way companies run projects and hire the people to do them, so be sure to check it out.

On behalf of the board of editors I would like to thank the contributors of this edition and everyone who has supported in the preparation of this newsletter.

The WORLD has CHANGES coming to the new ERA... TRANSFORMATION IN THE WORLD OF TOMORROW

First came steam and the first machines that mechanized some of the work our ancestors did. Next was electricity, the assembly line and the birth of mass production. The third era of industry came about with the advent of computers and the beginnings of automation, when robots and machines began to replace human workers on those assembly lines. And now we enter Industry 4.0, in which computers and automation will come together in an entirely new way, with robotics connected remotely to computer systems equipped with machine learning algorithms that can learn and control the robotics with very little input from human operators.

Industry 4.0 introduces what has been called the “smart factory,” in which cyber-physical systems monitor the physical processes of the factory and make decentralized decisions. The physical systems become Internet of Things, communicating and cooperating both with each other and with humans in real time via the wireless web.

This is a new Era, we are in Industrial Revolution 4.0 now, Industry 4.0 refers to a new phase in the Industrial Revolution that focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data. With this year theme will be TRANSFORMATION IN THE WORLD OF TOMORROW.

Industry 4.0 therefore leads to a new industrial automation that integrates innovative technologies in order to improve working conditions, so increasing productivity. The importance of this aspect in Industry 4.0 is evident. Consider the fact that networks are growing, and the Internet is used as an important source of information and communication – sometimes primary. Moreover, virtual representations of the real world are created and information systems are increasingly being developed. In short, we reach levels where these systems are able to act independently and even make their own decisions. Managing an innovation environment like Industry 4.0 therefore requires a creative and completely new way of thinking.

In SYMEX 2020, speakers will bring a new way of thinking, a new vision to face the NEW ERA, transformation in the world of tomorrow. Learn insight and other perspective of management from our noble speakers at 9th SYMEX that will be held on 11 & 12 March, 2020 in SEMARANG!

Here’s some of SYMEX 2020 speakers:

Dear Project Management Community,

Halfway through the year! Where did time go? I hope the year has been a productive and meaningful so far for our readers. Welcome to another edition of Excellentia. In the 88th edition we cover a Focus Group Discussion between PMI and Bina Nusantara University to foster collaboration between the two institutions.
We cover a very special 99th OMM which carried the topic “Adding Agile Flavor to the PMO”. The session was very well received. We also ran our regular CAPM/ PMP exam simulations prior to the OMM.

Our main article talks about the nature of the Project Manager’s job, the demands it brings and more importantly how to cope with them. We also feature an article on the Innovation Imperative, which discusses the role innovation plays in the mindset of a project manager, who is a strategic collaborator of the organization’s business.

On behalf of the board of editors I would like to thank the contributors of this edition and everyone who has supported in the preparation of this newsletter.
