Ricardo Vargas will present the Brightline Transformation Compass, a framework that will be released on October 24th in New York City and aims to give a human centric dimension to the transformation work. Ricardo will discuss the main components of the framework including case studies and examples. It is the first time that the framework will be present to a PMI Chapter. Brightline™ is a Project Management Institute (PMI) initiative developed together with leading global organizations and is dedicated to helping executives bridge the expensive and unproductive gap between strategy design and delivery. Brightline delivers insights and solutions that empower leaders to successfully transform their organization’s vision into reality through strategic initiative management.

Brightline is the key partner of the lounge area of Websummit. At a time of great uncertainty for industry upon industry and the world itself, we gather the founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing startups, policymakers and heads of state to ask a simple question: where to next?

Ricardo Vargas will be the keynote of the 18th International Project Management Seminar where he will talk about the influence of work on projects in the current scenario, where technology, speed and volatility are the focus of all the work of organizations and governments.

We are honoured to announce this Keynote. Ricardo Vargas was the founder of PMI-MG and being back 20 years later to celebrate with us is a milestone in the history of our chapter.

The theme of the lecture is the Future of Work and Career in Projects.
We live in a world where change and instability is the rule. In this chat with Ricardo Vargas, participants will be able to understand the main challenges in the world today and how projects are becoming the only “modus operandi” capable of responding to such volatility. It also addresses what the new project career is, where terms “management” and “projects” are replaced by “deliverables”, “results” and “initiatives” and the project manager permeates not only a profession but an ability to life.

On October 24th, 2019, Brightline comes back to The Pierre to host the most relevant event on how to transform ideas into results in order to produce benefits to the society in general. This exclusive invite-only conference will gather the world’s best thought leaders in the area.

Over the past 9 years, Nordic Business Forum has become known as one of the world’s most significant business events. The annual flagship conference in Helsinki attracts thousands of business leaders from all over the world. Two days full of business in a beautiful setting, surrounded by over 7,500 bright-minded people.

Brightline is a key partner of the event promoting discussions on strategic initiative management and connecting ideas to results.

PMI^® Global Conference is the flagship event in project management, attracting thousands of like-minded professionals for three days of top-notch learning, networking and fun. In 2019, you could build instantly applicable skills, hear from high-energy speakers and form lasting friendships. All while celebrating being part of a global community.

Ricardo Vargas will participate for the first time in a congress in the state of Ceará in Brazil. At the event, he will share his insight into key job and project trends in a changing world. It will discuss the positive sides and key challenges facing companies, governments and society to deliver results in an increasingly unstable scenario, where small events can have significant impacts on project outcomes and the skills required of professionals.

The Forum not only aims at analysing current developments, causes and driving forces but also at delivering new perspectives and orientations. It also pays tribute to Karl Popper as a regular guest and to his constant plea for the open society in the aftermath of the great catastrophe of the 20th century, i.e. totalitarianism, the Shoah and WW II. Thus, the Forum will give equal attention to pertinent topics from a philosophical, political, socio-economic, ecological and cultural perspective. Ricardo Vargas will attend the Forum as part of the Brightline and Drucker Society Europe work.
