Session 2 

PMI Talent Triangle^® - Fact or Fiction

We have all heard about the Bermuda triangle with its mysteries, but what about the PMI Talent Triangle? Do you really know what it is about!

This session discusses the facts and fiction of the PMI Triangle. We will dig into the three components and see what they are made of and how we can grow in each area to develop the “ideal skill set".

  About the Speaker: Doug MacNeil, PhD, SPC, PMP

Doug's career has revolved around project management, information technology, and education. This is evident at his current employer, Spectrum Health, where his first role was as EPMO Project Manager Lead, then transitioned to EPMO Sr. Business Systems Analyst, and now as Enterprise Agile Program Coach.

WMPMI has been fortunate to have Doug as a member and volunteer. He served as the chapter's Director of Professional Day and for several years has been a panelist for the chapter's collegiate competition, THEProject. In 2018, he seved as an Executive Panelist and Judge for the competition. 

It shouldn't be surprising that Doug has a strong academic background having been on staff or as a faculty member at many higher education institutions and earned his PhD in Information Technology in 2016. In addition to his work at Spectrum, he is also an adjunct faculty member at Grand Rapids Community College as an Assistant Professor. 

We are also offering a virtual option for this event for members and those not yet members.
