Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 ldquoSo long and Thanks for All the Fishrdquo

With this section we would like to give our board friends possibility to say ldquoGood byerdquo and wish them all the best in future challenges

So this is it If there was a present I would like have received from Sinterklaas or just sitting waiting for me under the Christmas tree it would be ldquoHow to say goodbyerdquo Or maybe better ldquoHow to say goodbye for dummiesrdquo Yes Ilsquom resigning from the board as of the end of this year I had a great time while serving the PMI Netherlands Chapter It all started when I gave some feedback on one of the Chapter meetings surveys near the end of 2008 Although there was no connection with the position I was called within a week whether I was interested to be the deputy project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2009 (Veldhoven) After giving it some thought I accepted and that immediately meant that I would be the project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2010 (Antwerp) I enjoyed this very much and loved the experience After the BeNeLux day in Antwerp I was immediately asked for a position in the board Having enjoyed the experience being a volunteer I accepted again I wanted to be involved with the direction of the Chapter and make some contributions to it as well I started as the Director Innovation and had the opportunity of introducing some new concepts to the Chapter I wanted to get the Chapter closer to our members The YouTube channel with recording of members telling about why they joined the Chapter and the recordings of the Chapter meetings is one example Starting the webinars is another example I remember that we started the first webinar with only 4 participants At the webinar we had in November we had around 23 participants In 2012 we had strategy meeting and one of the outcomes was that we wanted to grow the chapter members much more and quicker and engage more members as active volunteers I was very interested this challenge and I changed from Director Innovation to Director Membership and Volunteers as of 2013 We had identified some initiatives to realize this and I started of very enthusiastically Unfortunately my father got very ill in the beginning of 2013 and that didnrsquot improve much during the year I decided to take over the care for my father and took a lot of my energy Considering that I had to run my own business next to it as well I could not follow through on my commitments to the Chapter and I decided to stop my contribution to the chapter as a volunteer I regret that I have to stop I have enjoyed my time as a volunteer both outside and inside the board I havenrsquot met all of you face to face or had a conversation with all of you but every time I connected with one of you I really enjoyed it I would like to thank you all for the nice moments and memories One of the famous expressions within PMI is ldquogood things happen when you get involved with PMIrdquo and I can only confirm that happened for me I would also like to thank the past and present board members and officers for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Chapter and supporting me when needed I would like to specially say thanks to Maria Nikilopoulou Maria has supported me with the managing the volunteers and has done a great job I know that there are no goodbyes once you have been involved as a volunteer in the Chapter so no goodbye for me I love being around people so Irsquoll still be a regular visitor of the Chapter meetings or any other Chapter

Looking back 01-01-200931-12-2013

Overview In October 2008 I joined ndash requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler ndash PMI and PMI Netherlands Chapter At that moment Richard was President of the Chapter It all started with a strategy meeting near Haarlem on December 13 2008 Per January 2009 I took over the role of Director Knowledge Sharing from Kees Augustijn Per January 2010 the role changed into Director Events with focus on organizing events As of January 2011 I fulfilled the role of CEO responsible for events sponsorship and the relation with affiliated communities It has been a great pleasure to invest time and effort for the Project Management community in general and especially PMI Netherlands Chapter Events Throughout the years a variety of Chapter events were organized all based on 3 key elements retrieve knowledge share knowledge and networking A fourth element was added full hosting The objective of full hosting was to decrease the costs for the Chapter I am proud that I was able to contribute in the organization of about 50 events for the community according these 4 basics During this period the Chapter also co-organized the PMI Benelux Day ndash an PMI internally focused ldquofor members by membersrdquo yearly congress ndash 3 times Cultural differences in the local Project Management communities and the urge of the Netherlands Chapter towards professionalism have led to the start of PMI Netherlands Summit The Summit ndash organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator ndash were very successful in terms of quality of the content and a bit disappointing in terms of the number of attendees from our Chapter Sponsoring International we faced a financial and economic crisis In spite of this crisis we were able to maintain a financial healthy situation of the Chapter ldquoYou lose some and you gain somerdquo Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the ldquoPM-training areardquo we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMIrsquos certification program Thank you I would like to thank the representatives of our sponsors the hosting organizations affiliated Project Management communities and Region 8 Chapters for their cooperation Also thanks to the Chapter leaders of PMI Netherlands Chapter throughout these 5 years for their cooperation friendship and patience And a special thanks to the members who kept on visiting the events and the unconditional support of my wifendash who also hosted 6 strategy meetings at our home and organized 3 partner programs for the Benelux day My key message being a volunteer does not mean optional hellip itrsquos a full commitment I would not have missed these 5 years for the world

I really enjoyed my timehellip

Dear PMI NL member

Due to personal business commitments Irsquom no longer able to continue my role as Director Professional Development in the PMI NL Board I have to less time left to deliver the required contribution to the chapter Maybe I join again when times are more relaxing I really enjoyed my time as a board member and hope we will see each other again on one of our chapter meetings

Nature doesnrsquot like emptiness so after ldquoGood byerdquo comes ldquoWelcomerdquo We are very happy to welcome on board new faces Those amazing professional and enthusiastic people are going to work hard to make our Chapter even better

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice

Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 ldquoSo long and Thanks for All the Fishrdquo

With this section we would like to give our board friends possibility to say ldquoGood byerdquo and wish them all the best in future challenges

So this is it If there was a present I would like have received from Sinterklaas or just sitting waiting for me under the Christmas tree it would be ldquoHow to say goodbyerdquo Or maybe better ldquoHow to say goodbye for dummiesrdquo Yes Ilsquom resigning from the board as of the end of this year I had a great time while serving the PMI Netherlands Chapter It all started when I gave some feedback on one of the Chapter meetings surveys near the end of 2008 Although there was no connection with the position I was called within a week whether I was interested to be the deputy project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2009 (Veldhoven) After giving it some thought I accepted and that immediately meant that I would be the project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2010 (Antwerp) I enjoyed this very much and loved the experience After the BeNeLux day in Antwerp I was immediately asked for a position in the board Having enjoyed the experience being a volunteer I accepted again I wanted to be involved with the direction of the Chapter and make some contributions to it as well I started as the Director Innovation and had the opportunity of introducing some new concepts to the Chapter I wanted to get the Chapter closer to our members The YouTube channel with recording of members telling about why they joined the Chapter and the recordings of the Chapter meetings is one example Starting the webinars is another example I remember that we started the first webinar with only 4 participants At the webinar we had in November we had around 23 participants In 2012 we had strategy meeting and one of the outcomes was that we wanted to grow the chapter members much more and quicker and engage more members as active volunteers I was very interested this challenge and I changed from Director Innovation to Director Membership and Volunteers as of 2013 We had identified some initiatives to realize this and I started of very enthusiastically Unfortunately my father got very ill in the beginning of 2013 and that didnrsquot improve much during the year I decided to take over the care for my father and took a lot of my energy Considering that I had to run my own business next to it as well I could not follow through on my commitments to the Chapter and I decided to stop my contribution to the chapter as a volunteer I regret that I have to stop I have enjoyed my time as a volunteer both outside and inside the board I havenrsquot met all of you face to face or had a conversation with all of you but every time I connected with one of you I really enjoyed it I would like to thank you all for the nice moments and memories One of the famous expressions within PMI is ldquogood things happen when you get involved with PMIrdquo and I can only confirm that happened for me I would also like to thank the past and present board members and officers for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Chapter and supporting me when needed I would like to specially say thanks to Maria Nikilopoulou Maria has supported me with the managing the volunteers and has done a great job I know that there are no goodbyes once you have been involved as a volunteer in the Chapter so no goodbye for me I love being around people so Irsquoll still be a regular visitor of the Chapter meetings or any other Chapter

event Since there is no goodbye there is also no need for a book from Sinterklaas or so But I would really appreciate to shake hands the next time we meet Take care have fun and enjoy life

Looking back 01-01-200931-12-2013

Overview In October 2008 I joined ndash requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler ndash PMI and PMI Netherlands Chapter At that moment Richard was President of the Chapter It all started with a strategy meeting near Haarlem on December 13 2008 Per January 2009 I took over the role of Director Knowledge Sharing from Kees Augustijn Per January 2010 the role changed into Director Events with focus on organizing events As of January 2011 I fulfilled the role of CEO responsible for events sponsorship and the relation with affiliated communities It has been a great pleasure to invest time and effort for the Project Management community in general and especially PMI Netherlands Chapter Events Throughout the years a variety of Chapter events were organized all based on 3 key elements retrieve knowledge share knowledge and networking A fourth element was added full hosting The objective of full hosting was to decrease the costs for the Chapter I am proud that I was able to contribute in the organization of about 50 events for the community according these 4 basics During this period the Chapter also co-organized the PMI Benelux Day ndash an PMI internally focused ldquofor members by membersrdquo yearly congress ndash 3 times Cultural differences in the local Project Management communities and the urge of the Netherlands Chapter towards professionalism have led to the start of PMI Netherlands Summit The Summit ndash organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator ndash were very successful in terms of quality of the content and a bit disappointing in terms of the number of attendees from our Chapter Sponsoring International we faced a financial and economic crisis In spite of this crisis we were able to maintain a financial healthy situation of the Chapter ldquoYou lose some and you gain somerdquo Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the ldquoPM-training areardquo we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMIrsquos certification program Thank you I would like to thank the representatives of our sponsors the hosting organizations affiliated Project Management communities and Region 8 Chapters for their cooperation Also thanks to the Chapter leaders of PMI Netherlands Chapter throughout these 5 years for their cooperation friendship and patience And a special thanks to the members who kept on visiting the events and the unconditional support of my wifendash who also hosted 6 strategy meetings at our home and organized 3 partner programs for the Benelux day My key message being a volunteer does not mean optional hellip itrsquos a full commitment I would not have missed these 5 years for the world

I really enjoyed my timehellip

Dear PMI NL member

Due to personal business commitments Irsquom no longer able to continue my role as Director Professional Development in the PMI NL Board I have to less time left to deliver the required contribution to the chapter Maybe I join again when times are more relaxing I really enjoyed my time as a board member and hope we will see each other again on one of our chapter meetings

Warm regards

Nature doesnrsquot like emptiness so after ldquoGood byerdquo comes ldquoWelcomerdquo We are very happy to welcome on board new faces Those amazing professional and enthusiastic people are going to work hard to make our Chapter even better

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice

Looking back 01-01-200931-12-2013

Overview In October 2008 I joined ndash requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler ndash PMI and PMI Netherlands Chapter At that moment Richard was President of the Chapter It all started with a strategy meeting near Haarlem on December 13 2008 Per January 2009 I took over the role of Director Knowledge Sharing from Kees Augustijn Per January 2010 the role changed into Director Events with focus on organizing events As of January 2011 I fulfilled the role of CEO responsible for events sponsorship and the relation with affiliated communities It has been a great pleasure to invest time and effort for the Project Management community in general and especially PMI Netherlands Chapter Events Throughout the years a variety of Chapter events were organized all based on 3 key elements retrieve knowledge share knowledge and networking A fourth element was added full hosting The objective of full hosting was to decrease the costs for the Chapter I am proud that I was able to contribute in the organization of about 50 events for the community according these 4 basics During this period the Chapter also co-organized the PMI Benelux Day ndash an PMI internally focused ldquofor members by membersrdquo yearly congress ndash 3 times Cultural differences in the local Project Management communities and the urge of the Netherlands Chapter towards professionalism have led to the start of PMI Netherlands Summit The Summit ndash organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator ndash were very successful in terms of quality of the content and a bit disappointing in terms of the number of attendees from our Chapter Sponsoring International we faced a financial and economic crisis In spite of this crisis we were able to maintain a financial healthy situation of the Chapter ldquoYou lose some and you gain somerdquo Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the ldquoPM-training areardquo we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMIrsquos certification program Thank you I would like to thank the representatives of our sponsors the hosting organizations affiliated Project Management communities and Region 8 Chapters for their cooperation Also thanks to the Chapter leaders of PMI Netherlands Chapter throughout these 5 years for their cooperation friendship and patience And a special thanks to the members who kept on visiting the events and the unconditional support of my wifendash who also hosted 6 strategy meetings at our home and organized 3 partner programs for the Benelux day My key message being a volunteer does not mean optional hellip itrsquos a full commitment I would not have missed these 5 years for the world

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice

Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 ldquoSo long and Thanks for All the Fishrdquo

With this section we would like to give our board friends possibility to say ldquoGood byerdquo and wish them all the best in future challenges

So this is it If there was a present I would like have received from Sinterklaas or just sitting waiting for me under the Christmas tree it would be ldquoHow to say goodbyerdquo Or maybe better ldquoHow to say goodbye for dummiesrdquo Yes Ilsquom resigning from the board as of the end of this year I had a great time while serving the PMI Netherlands Chapter It all started when I gave some feedback on one of the Chapter meetings surveys near the end of 2008 Although there was no connection with the position I was called within a week whether I was interested to be the deputy project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2009 (Veldhoven) After giving it some thought I accepted and that immediately meant that I would be the project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2010 (Antwerp) I enjoyed this very much and loved the experience After the BeNeLux day in Antwerp I was immediately asked for a position in the board Having enjoyed the experience being a volunteer I accepted again I wanted to be involved with the direction of the Chapter and make some contributions to it as well I started as the Director Innovation and had the opportunity of introducing some new concepts to the Chapter I wanted to get the Chapter closer to our members The YouTube channel with recording of members telling about why they joined the Chapter and the recordings of the Chapter meetings is one example Starting the webinars is another example I remember that we started the first webinar with only 4 participants At the webinar we had in November we had around 23 participants In 2012 we had strategy meeting and one of the outcomes was that we wanted to grow the chapter members much more and quicker and engage more members as active volunteers I was very interested this challenge and I changed from Director Innovation to Director Membership and Volunteers as of 2013 We had identified some initiatives to realize this and I started of very enthusiastically Unfortunately my father got very ill in the beginning of 2013 and that didnrsquot improve much during the year I decided to take over the care for my father and took a lot of my energy Considering that I had to run my own business next to it as well I could not follow through on my commitments to the Chapter and I decided to stop my contribution to the chapter as a volunteer I regret that I have to stop I have enjoyed my time as a volunteer both outside and inside the board I havenrsquot met all of you face to face or had a conversation with all of you but every time I connected with one of you I really enjoyed it I would like to thank you all for the nice moments and memories One of the famous expressions within PMI is ldquogood things happen when you get involved with PMIrdquo and I can only confirm that happened for me I would also like to thank the past and present board members and officers for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Chapter and supporting me when needed I would like to specially say thanks to Maria Nikilopoulou Maria has supported me with the managing the volunteers and has done a great job I know that there are no goodbyes once you have been involved as a volunteer in the Chapter so no goodbye for me I love being around people so Irsquoll still be a regular visitor of the Chapter meetings or any other Chapter

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 ldquoSo long and Thanks for All the Fishrdquo

With this section we would like to give our board friends possibility to say ldquoGood byerdquo and wish them all the best in future challenges

So this is it If there was a present I would like have received from Sinterklaas or just sitting waiting for me under the Christmas tree it would be ldquoHow to say goodbyerdquo Or maybe better ldquoHow to say goodbye for dummiesrdquo Yes Ilsquom resigning from the board as of the end of this year I had a great time while serving the PMI Netherlands Chapter It all started when I gave some feedback on one of the Chapter meetings surveys near the end of 2008 Although there was no connection with the position I was called within a week whether I was interested to be the deputy project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2009 (Veldhoven) After giving it some thought I accepted and that immediately meant that I would be the project manager for the BeNeLux day in 2010 (Antwerp) I enjoyed this very much and loved the experience After the BeNeLux day in Antwerp I was immediately asked for a position in the board Having enjoyed the experience being a volunteer I accepted again I wanted to be involved with the direction of the Chapter and make some contributions to it as well I started as the Director Innovation and had the opportunity of introducing some new concepts to the Chapter I wanted to get the Chapter closer to our members The YouTube channel with recording of members telling about why they joined the Chapter and the recordings of the Chapter meetings is one example Starting the webinars is another example I remember that we started the first webinar with only 4 participants At the webinar we had in November we had around 23 participants In 2012 we had strategy meeting and one of the outcomes was that we wanted to grow the chapter members much more and quicker and engage more members as active volunteers I was very interested this challenge and I changed from Director Innovation to Director Membership and Volunteers as of 2013 We had identified some initiatives to realize this and I started of very enthusiastically Unfortunately my father got very ill in the beginning of 2013 and that didnrsquot improve much during the year I decided to take over the care for my father and took a lot of my energy Considering that I had to run my own business next to it as well I could not follow through on my commitments to the Chapter and I decided to stop my contribution to the chapter as a volunteer I regret that I have to stop I have enjoyed my time as a volunteer both outside and inside the board I havenrsquot met all of you face to face or had a conversation with all of you but every time I connected with one of you I really enjoyed it I would like to thank you all for the nice moments and memories One of the famous expressions within PMI is ldquogood things happen when you get involved with PMIrdquo and I can only confirm that happened for me I would also like to thank the past and present board members and officers for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Chapter and supporting me when needed I would like to specially say thanks to Maria Nikilopoulou Maria has supported me with the managing the volunteers and has done a great job I know that there are no goodbyes once you have been involved as a volunteer in the Chapter so no goodbye for me I love being around people so Irsquoll still be a regular visitor of the Chapter meetings or any other Chapter

Looking back 01-01-200931-12-2013

Overview In October 2008 I joined ndash requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler ndash PMI and PMI Netherlands Chapter At that moment Richard was President of the Chapter It all started with a strategy meeting near Haarlem on December 13 2008 Per January 2009 I took over the role of Director Knowledge Sharing from Kees Augustijn Per January 2010 the role changed into Director Events with focus on organizing events As of January 2011 I fulfilled the role of CEO responsible for events sponsorship and the relation with affiliated communities It has been a great pleasure to invest time and effort for the Project Management community in general and especially PMI Netherlands Chapter Events Throughout the years a variety of Chapter events were organized all based on 3 key elements retrieve knowledge share knowledge and networking A fourth element was added full hosting The objective of full hosting was to decrease the costs for the Chapter I am proud that I was able to contribute in the organization of about 50 events for the community according these 4 basics During this period the Chapter also co-organized the PMI Benelux Day ndash an PMI internally focused ldquofor members by membersrdquo yearly congress ndash 3 times Cultural differences in the local Project Management communities and the urge of the Netherlands Chapter towards professionalism have led to the start of PMI Netherlands Summit The Summit ndash organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator ndash were very successful in terms of quality of the content and a bit disappointing in terms of the number of attendees from our Chapter Sponsoring International we faced a financial and economic crisis In spite of this crisis we were able to maintain a financial healthy situation of the Chapter ldquoYou lose some and you gain somerdquo Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the ldquoPM-training areardquo we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMIrsquos certification program Thank you I would like to thank the representatives of our sponsors the hosting organizations affiliated Project Management communities and Region 8 Chapters for their cooperation Also thanks to the Chapter leaders of PMI Netherlands Chapter throughout these 5 years for their cooperation friendship and patience And a special thanks to the members who kept on visiting the events and the unconditional support of my wifendash who also hosted 6 strategy meetings at our home and organized 3 partner programs for the Benelux day My key message being a volunteer does not mean optional hellip itrsquos a full commitment I would not have missed these 5 years for the world

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

Looking back 01-01-200931-12-2013

Overview In October 2008 I joined ndash requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler ndash PMI and PMI Netherlands Chapter At that moment Richard was President of the Chapter It all started with a strategy meeting near Haarlem on December 13 2008 Per January 2009 I took over the role of Director Knowledge Sharing from Kees Augustijn Per January 2010 the role changed into Director Events with focus on organizing events As of January 2011 I fulfilled the role of CEO responsible for events sponsorship and the relation with affiliated communities It has been a great pleasure to invest time and effort for the Project Management community in general and especially PMI Netherlands Chapter Events Throughout the years a variety of Chapter events were organized all based on 3 key elements retrieve knowledge share knowledge and networking A fourth element was added full hosting The objective of full hosting was to decrease the costs for the Chapter I am proud that I was able to contribute in the organization of about 50 events for the community according these 4 basics During this period the Chapter also co-organized the PMI Benelux Day ndash an PMI internally focused ldquofor members by membersrdquo yearly congress ndash 3 times Cultural differences in the local Project Management communities and the urge of the Netherlands Chapter towards professionalism have led to the start of PMI Netherlands Summit The Summit ndash organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator ndash were very successful in terms of quality of the content and a bit disappointing in terms of the number of attendees from our Chapter Sponsoring International we faced a financial and economic crisis In spite of this crisis we were able to maintain a financial healthy situation of the Chapter ldquoYou lose some and you gain somerdquo Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the ldquoPM-training areardquo we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMIrsquos certification program Thank you I would like to thank the representatives of our sponsors the hosting organizations affiliated Project Management communities and Region 8 Chapters for their cooperation Also thanks to the Chapter leaders of PMI Netherlands Chapter throughout these 5 years for their cooperation friendship and patience And a special thanks to the members who kept on visiting the events and the unconditional support of my wifendash who also hosted 6 strategy meetings at our home and organized 3 partner programs for the Benelux day My key message being a volunteer does not mean optional hellip itrsquos a full commitment I would not have missed these 5 years for the world

Director Events

Hello dear PMI Netherlands Chapter colleagues My name is Henk-Jan Molenkamp and Irsquod like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events Irsquom currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilocom The former is a project management consultancy firm the latter is an e-business suite (SAAS) solution provider (e-HRM PM Accounting CRM etc) The PMO Company helps organizations with professionalizing their project management governance and processes We differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company Ie Project Management Tooling selection implementation and training are our specialism My career started as a Training Specialist at Lucent Technologies followed by a role as Product Market Manager (PMM) Later on I was asked to implement the systems I was responsible as PMM for in Saudi Arabia and that kick-started my further career as Project Manager I have worked in various projects and companies as a project manager (interim basis) and after a role as program manager at Getronics I became director of large (outsourcing) projects at Getronics PinkRocade which made me focus more at the standardization of project execution and reporting (PMO methodologies set-up etc) and formed the basis for my bold step to continue on my own and start-up The PMO Company in 2006 I have been a member of PMI since 2005 although my first PMP training already commenced in 1996 I have attended many seminars and workshops because Irsquom always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter ndash so actually Irsquom fairly lazy trying to automate as much as possible) Since I do appreciate the efforts of the volunteers of PMI very much I decided that it was my turn to take responsibility and do a shift in this great non-profit organization Hope to meet you soon on one of the events

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Ethical Behaviour is Self-Reinforcing There is good news for leaders who are interested in advancing the ethical climate of their organization A little

bit of energy goes a long way

According to a survey published this year in the bestselling book Crucial Accountability those who confront

minor infractions are six times more likely to confront major ones By exercising your ethical behaviour muscle

on the small dilemmas you build strength and competence to confront the big ones

Whatrsquos more visibly addressing small issues builds maintains and reinforces your stakeholdersrsquo trust in the

organizational culture For PMI members and volunteers good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism

and engagement

In the study ldquoEthical Leadership and Trust Itrsquos All About Meeting Expectationsrdquo published in the International

Journal of Leadership Studies in 2009 researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam found that the more a

leader observably acts in ways that followers believe is the appropriate ethical behaviour the more a leader

will be trusted

Organizations at the forefront of ethical best practices create a climate of awareness with clear expectations

and provide support for stakeholders when dilemmas do arise With help from the Ethics Member Advisory

Group PMI seeks actively to learn about ethical best practices and adopt ones that are most suitable for the

Institute

If you havenrsquot reviewed them recently revisit PMIrsquos Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice
