Educational PresentationMaking the Intangible Tangible: How to Manage Innovation-based ProjectsInnovation is often thought of as a “flash in the pan” event; all the sudden there’s a big bang and a revolution happens in front of your eyes. In reality it’s much more like a rock band that works their tail off for 10 years to achieve their “overnight success”. Organizational innovation happens because its culture is geared for it and the leadership embraces it. If these pieces are in place there is a better than average chance that a good innovation team can break some paradigms and achieve innovation. But how does one manage the breaking of paradigms on a schedule? In this session I will share some fundamental principles for, and the type of thinking that leads to, innovation. Then we will explore the unique aspects of how to manage innovation-based projects to generate breakthrough ideas. By the end of the presentation attendees will understand:

Chapter Meeting Late Fee RestructureThe PMI Portland Chapter Board of Directors has determined there is a need to restructure our Chapter meeting fees to reward those who register early for the meetings. We recently sent a notice of fee changes to our Chapter meeting late fee. Early registration greatly facilitates event planning and reduces registration lines the night of the meeting. The Portland PMI Chapter subsidizes the cost of the Chapter meetings to keep the cost as low as possible for our Chapter meeting attendees. Your Chapter leadership is committed to providing quality events at reasonable costs but we need your help to succeed. As a volunteer organization, we have limited resources and time to accomplish our goals and tasks each month. Your early registration will greatly help the volunteers plan and execute a quality monthly event for your education and enjoyment. Effective January 1, 2012 the Chapter Meeting fee structure will be as follows:
The change in the Chapter Meeting Fee structure was a Board of Directors decision. If you have questions or concerns about the new fee structure, please contact the Chapter VP Programs, President, or President Elect. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at 2012 events.
