Project Management: The Intentional Profession 'To be is to do.' Project managers focus on the tools, techniques and effort it takes to 'do' well and deliver the change that mission demands. But we can also choose to 'do good,' and that is what providing our skills as pro bono services to our communities is all about. Like PMs, service-oriented Non-Profit Organizations struggle to deliver community services in a resource-constrained environment. PMs have mastered the skills needed to make things happen in these environments. With the 2015 Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS), two executives organized roughly 400 PMs to assist NPOs in defining and scoping nearly 100 projects - in one day! That is intent. That is engagement. That is meaningful project management. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
