PMI UAE Chapter

Most PMOs still spend their energy reporting on what already happened.

The next ones will help decide what happens next.

On 25 June, Siji George joins us to unpack the Intelligent Delivery and Portfolio Office: what changes when AI stops being a side tool and becomes the engine behind how portfolios get planned, prioritized, and delivered.

She will get into the practical shifts:

🔹 Portfolio visibility that updates in real time
🔹 Predictive insight instead of lagging status reports
🔹 Smarter resource allocation and earlier risk sensing
🔹 Benefits tracking that proves value, not just activity

Siji is a Global PMO Awards judge, a Global AI Delegate, and a digital transformation leader who has run this at enterprise scale. If you own a PMO or work inside one, this is the evening to block out.

Why do well-planned projects still fail?

The answer often isn't in the schedule or the scope. It's in the human side - how teams communicate, how people respond under pressure, and the biases shaping decisions.

In our next webinar, Ghalia Turki (PMP®, Leadership & Management Coach) unpacks the behavioral and psychological dynamics that influence project outcomes - with practical insights to help you manage resistance and lead more effectively when things get complex.

As AI reshapes industries at unprecedented speed, the question is no longer how to transform - it's how to stay unfinished by design.

Join us for a powerful session with Puneet Narang, Senior Vice President, Transformation Office at DAMAC Properties, as he challenges the traditional transformation playbook and makes the case for continuous evolution as a permanent operating posture.
