SHRM25 Annual Conference

Panel Discussion with the Project Management Institute:

In today’s complex landscape of AI, workforce engagement, and ever-changing policies, HR leaders are managing more projects than ever before. But too often, great ideas stall due to lack of structure, not lack of passion.

That’s where project management comes in. 💡

In our panel, we will explore:
🔹 How to keep critical HR initiatives from going off the rails
🔹 Simple, proven tools you can use immediately
🔹 How to lead through complexity and accelerate transformation
🔹 Why PM skills matter beyond the HR team

No jargon. No overwhelm. Just strategies that work—because every HR professional deserves the confidence and capability to lead big ideas from vision to value.

Join me and our esteemed panelists Mark Squiers Michael Joyce, MBA Alyson Doering and Kristina Curtiss on June 30th at 730am - Room 31C Upper level at the San Diego Convention Center. Let’s turn your initiatives into impact!
