To be truly Agile, an organisation needs to operate in a very different way, with leadership, values and norms all reinforcing the culture. Business agility is concerned with the adoption and evolution of values, behaviours and capabilities that enable businesses and professionals to be more adaptive, creative and resilient when dealing with complexity, uncertainty and change.
‘Agile’ is a very broad and general term: there are many methods and frameworks that fall under this umbrella term, and it is often difficult to recognize which one could fit the needs of professionals and organisations.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Have you ever wondered if your project might have had better success if you had used a different methodology? In this conference, we will explain what an agile organisation looks like and why agility is important. In a very interactive way, our expert will be asking for your experiences with agile so far to learn from each other.
What does ‘Agile’ mean? In this workshop you will experience the agile mindset through a game. Starting from a simple concept, we will simulate an agile production process. You will learn that working together, everyone can achieve their goals.

Are you looking for a light, lean, concrete and equipped project methodology? Participate in our webinar and discover PM², the European Commission’s project management method.
PM² is a flexible and modular project management methodology that can be adapted according to the needs of any project. It consists of three main phases: initiation, planning and execution. The methodology also includes monitoring and evaluation activities to ensure the project’s quality.
PM² is designed for use in projects of all sizes and complexities. It is particularly suitable for projects that involve multidisciplinary teams and external partners, such as research and development projects.
To help project management professionals better understand and apply the PM² methodology, we are hosting a free webinar. This webinar will cover the main concepts and practices of PM².
PM² Project Management: harmonisation and united in diversity – Webinar
We invited our expert Natacha Brenner to host the webinar. In just 30 minutes she aims to provide an overview of the PM² methodology and seek to clarify what makes the methodology stand out.
Our expert will highlight the advantages of using PM² in an interactive way. Questions and active participation are encouraged!

QRP International has a long experience in organising training for project, programme and portfolio managers. QRP has assisted many professionals and their organisation in setting up and running a PMO (Project Management Office). Following a training is a first step in getting inspired. Translating this inspiration into practice is the second step. In traditional training, this is not part of a course and each delegate is left alone. The road to successfully implement what you have learned is often hard and lonely as a strategic PMO is just a few people or sometimes exists only of one person within a large organisation.
ABOUT THE USER GROUP
This user group has the aim to respond to this need. The goal is to bring similar backgrounds and profiles together to discuss specific topics within PMO management. This session will be guided by a PMO expert that will manage the discussion.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP?
- Discuss your doubts and issues on setting up and running a PMO
- Discover practical solutions of others
- Talk to an expert trainer/consultant
- Get inspired
- Get 1,5 PDU!
SPEAKER DISCUSSION TOPICS
Speaker: Dominique-Vautrot Schwarz, Portfolio Management Officer at POST Luxembourg
In her presentation, Dominique will share how POST Luxembourg has capitalized on Human Change Management to overcome Enterprise PMO pitfills. Setting up an Enterprise PMO is usually a long run full of potential pitfalls, depending on the context, size and awareness of the organisation. POST Luxembourg launched its E-PMO in 2018 and decided to apply Human Change Management practices from the very beginning. We will hear and discuss together about the experiences made and concrete results achieved.

Whether derived from internally or externally changes, any organisation comes at a point where transformational change is inevitable for the organisation to remain viable and scalable.
Change however is a very sensitive topic as it influences many and should be guided precisely and wisely. There are many methodologies and approaches that can help you deliver change, ‘Agile Change Agent’ is one of these.
The purpose of Agile Change Management is to support the ideas of collaboration, empowerment and self-direction that are core to Agile approaches. It starts from the idea that anyone within the organisation can be a ‘change agent’, somebody that actively supports and facilitates change next to his/her daily work.
What does this exactly mean and how can the Agile Change Agent approach support change within your organisation? Come and find it out in our free webinar!
Together with expert Niels van Bemmelen we will dive into the Agile Change Agent topic. We will discuss the definition of Agile Change, the roles in Agile Change and the management of Agile Change.
We will seek to make the webinar as interactive as possible, with polls, live discussion and input from all listeners. Come and join us!
When: Tuesday 28 September
Time: 14.30 – 15.30
Project management is one of the most important pillars within companies. Project Management is recognized as one of the fundamental factors for success of an organisation. Agility has become a key point within Project Management. Being agile is being able to adapt to changing needs, co-creation and faster delivery. Traditionally the element of control is a discussion topic within the whole process of becoming more agile. The level of agility that works best for your organisation or department depends on your situation and strategic objectives.

The PM² Methodology is the official project management methodology of the European Commission. It was first released for the EU institutions in 2008 and as Open PM² for the greater public in 2016.
It is a lean and easy to implement methodology suitable for any type of project as it enables project teams to manage projects effectively and deliver solutions and benefits to their organisations and stakeholders.
These goals and ambitions have a lot in common with HERMES 5, the Swiss project management methodology since 1975 and in Luxembourg since 2006.
