In the interactive workshop, we will explore how the disciplines of change management and project management are crucially related to each other.

How to carry out a project with a maximally engaged and motivated team?
We are pleased to invite you to the event, which will take place on Wednesday, December 6, at 5 p.m. in the premises of Unija Računovodska hiša d.d., Tržaška cesta 515. Our guest will be Jaka Oman, who will share his knowledge about connection while working on projects, project management and achieving the state of flow, which represents the optimal state of consciousness.
Good energy, motivation and high commitment of the project team is something that every project manager wants and it is something that the manager can influence. There is a lot going on in the field of psychology and neurobiology behind our productivity and satisfaction with working on a particular project. The state of flow when we are most satisfied and productive is just one of the things that we certainly want the most and is something that has almost certainly shaped your best executed projects. But that's not all. In order to achieve the flow state of individuals and the group flow state of the entire team, it is necessary to respect certain laws related to skills and abilities, flow triggers and the flow cycle.
These very tools will be presented at the event in the context of project management and will help you on your way to better executed projects in the future.
Jaka Oman has dedicated his entire life to finding the flow state, although he didn't know it until 2020. He is the founder of Resna igra, the first Flow Research Collective certified flow coach in Slovenia and an experienced LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator who has already taken his knowledge of flow and Lego bricks to 8 countries in the region at more than 120 workshops. He has already worked with several project managers and teams in various industries (events, product/service development, creative, pharmaceutical and IT).
Don't miss the opportunity to gain insight into the key elements of successful project management and discover how the flow state can contribute to exceptional project achievements. See you at the event!
The event is free, non-members are also welcome. The presentation will be held in Slovene.

As part of the Industry Innovation Lab Daša was lucky to use Design Thinking in practice and ever since she loves sharing its beauty of it with the world. One might think that Design Thinking is made for designers or for creative individuals & teams. However, it is far from the truth.

In the lecture, we will see how and why Design Thinking can add value to everyone when used in project management – project managers, product managers, engineers and customers – creating and resulting in better projects.
Daša Rotar is an outside-the-box thinker, who loves people interaction, embraces new challenges & is passionate about technology . She is also a big fan of Design Thinking which showed her how empathy can make "miracles" . In the last 17 years she has been diving into different domains and job roles - applying the product, project, strategy, marketing, and sales management to technology products in the energy, intralogistics, medical, finance, and IT sectors on a global scale.

You are invited to the next PM4Real event Agile inside PMO - how to be collaborative?, which will be on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 5 pm online.
PMO plays a vital role inside the organization towards the business excellence and organizational goal. Does the flavor of agile help to empower the organizational objectives? Mr. Mahesh says yes, agile concepts can ensure work is aligned with strategy, and teams work on the right thing, in the best way. In turn, an agile way of working maximizes value and minimizes risk for the enterprise.
Being agile means turning into creative problem-solvers, rapid responders, and iterative collaborators who turn feedback into innovation.
It is a fact that in today’s immediate and dynamic environment, a change from pure traditional PMO to little agile flavor, Mr. Mahesh says hybrid environment is always good for business success.

Not a single project is executed in a perfect way. On every project they are obstacles that must be overcome, if we want that project is successful. It is not necessary that we have a crisis moment in every project, but some stressful times are guaranteed. Pressure from stakeholders generates changes and changes increases the complexity of the management task, jeopardizing cost, and project certainty. That is why it is said that Project Manager (PM) is no doubt one of the most stressful jobs out there, as the PM is directly responsible and accountable for the success or failure of a project.
Some PMs believed that they can handle and cope with the high level of stress but there are some who are ignoring or refuse to recognize that they are under stress. The experience of stress is not only impacting the cognitive and behavioral performance, it can also have a negative impact on your personal health, wellbeing, and family life. You might not able to change the amount of stress you have on a daily basis, but you can change how you deal with it. It is important to manage the stress before it becomes more and more difficult to handle and manage.
Join us and let’s together discuss about stress and crises in project management.
