Topic: How to Thrive in the Covid-19 Gig Economy

Speaker:  Michael Nir, President Sapir Consulting US

Highlights:  

With the impact of Covid-19 upon us the Gig economy is accelerating – don’t be left behind! In this talk you get to practice and develop critical skills to thrive in the Gig economy!

What do an Uber driver, a scrum master, a freelance writer and a contract project manager / product owner have in common? The answer is that they are potentially a part of the gig economy. One of the fastest growing trends in employment is a move away from full-time contracts. Instead, both employers and workers are pursuing alternative arrangements, including temporary or project-based contracts.

Topic: Is Project Management of Value for Everyone

Speaker:  Jeremy Bradford, South Alabama PMI Chapter President

Highlights:  

There are approximately 10 million people performing “project management” jobs in the US – about 3% of the US population.

What about the other 97% of people? Should project management be important to them?  In this month’s topic, we discuss the ubiquity of project management principles, why PM approaches should be embraced by The Everyman, and how employing PM principles can make you more successful at whatever you undertake, whether in work, hobbies, or personal endeavors.  In addition, this presentation promises a chance for retrospective and practical application for practicing Project Managers

BIO:

Jeremy Bradford has over 15 years’ experience in engineering and project management.  He has also spent time working in various finance, governance and leadership roles.  Jeremy became an “accidental” project manager in the late 2000’s, and since that time has taken Project Management roles at various companies, largely in the aerospace industry.  He has worked on many amazing projects...and a few mediocre ones. He formalized his PM status by obtaining his PMP in 2015.  He joined Siemens in 2017 as a PM.  In 2019 he transitioned out of project management and into a practice/resource manager role.  Although no longer working in a PM role, he still makes frequent use of the principles gained through his experience as a PM.  Outside of work, his passions are his faith, family, and volunteering.  He is the current president of the PMI South Alabama board of directors.

Topic: Military Transition

Speaker:  KC Brooks, VP Outreach 

Highlights:  

Our military members play a valuable part in our society.  All are volunteers with their primary purpose to protect and serve the United States of America.  As they get ready to transition out of the military, many do not know that they have acquired the skills and experience to become Project Managers and have the necessary years of experience to attempt to achieve a PMP Certification.   Tonight we will attempt to enlighten them and provide help and guidance to those who wish to take this step.
