How to successfully manage remote projects and overcome communication challenges on platforms such as Teams?
Join us for the PM4Real event on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 5 p.m. This time's guest will be Nikolaj Candellari, an experienced project manager and leading data analyst at CyberGrid. The event, which will take place both in the premises of A1 Ameriška ulica 4, 1000 Ljubljana and via the Teams online platform, offers an opportunity to gain insight into the challenges and practices of remote project management and includes topics such as analytics, data modeling and energy. For anyone planning to attend live, parking is available in the DiVino restaurant or IKEA parking lot.
We associate project management with meetings, status updates and work on location. After the pandemic, however, the principle of remote project management is appearing more and more often, in which project managers direct their teams and check their progress only via communication platforms from the home office. At our next meeting, we will check why this form of project management is on the rise, under what conditions it is even feasible, and what are the experiences of project managers in such a position. Finally, we will compare the positive and negative sides of this type of work and open a debate about good practices.
About the lecturer:
Nikolaj Candellari is a project manager and lead data analyst at CyberGrid. His primary responsibilities include managing a commercial project in Bulgaria and the EU-funded InterSTORE research and development project. Previously, Nikolaj worked as a data analyst in the banking system, where he became interested in data modeling. This prompted him to start modeling the energy market within CyberGrid's analytics team. Nikolaj graduated in financial mathematics and recently completed a master's degree in applied statistics at the University of Ljubljana. He came into contact with PMI Slovenia - Ljubljana Chapter this year mainly because of his interest in obtaining a CAPM license.
Register for the PM4Real event and take advantage of the opportunity for new knowledge, networking and insight into the field of data modeling and project management in the energy sector.

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.

Multi-country, multi-site project management can be a challenge due to the need to coordinate across different time zones, cultures, and infrastructure. However, some key things can be done to ensure a successful outcome. By being aware of the range of challenges and taking steps to address them, organizations can increase the likelihood of success that the project is delivered in full, on time, within budget and with satisfaction when undertaking a multi-country, multi-site project.
The presentation will include defining the objective, developing robust plans that take into account different time zones, cultures and infrastructure, and managing communication and expectations among stakeholders. We will include also a Case study of multi-site project management from Australia and outline the differences in project management in Europe and Australia.

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. Design Thinking is a framework that is complementary to the Agile framework and is becoming more and more popular in complex environments. 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.
