Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 “So long, and Thanks for All the Fish” With this section we would like to give our board friends possibility to say “Good bye” 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 “How to say goodbye”. Or maybe better “How to say goodbye for dummies”, . Yes, I‘m 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.
Diepak Kasi
Director Membership and Volunteers
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 didn’t 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 haven’t 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, “good things happen when you get involved with PMI” 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 I’ll 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: 01-01-2009/31-12-2013 Overview In October 2008 I joined – requested by my colleague Richard van Ruler – 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.
Jan Cardol CEO
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 – an PMI internally focused “for members by members” yearly congress – 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 – organized in cooperation with a professional facilitator – 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. “You lose some and you gain some”. Although a lot of effort was put in gaining sponsors outside the “PM-training area” we notice that all our sponsors are offering services related to PMI’s 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 wife– 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 … it’s a full commitment!! I would not have missed these 5 years for the world.

I really enjoyed my time… Dear PMI NL member, Due to personal business commitments I’m 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.
Loes Kalkman Director Professional Development
Warm regards!
Changes in PMI Netherlands Board in 2014 “Welcome on board!” Nature doesn’t like emptiness, so after “Good bye!” comes “Welcome!”. 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 I’d like to introduce myself in the context of my application as Director Events. I’m currently working as partner at The PMO Company and Tjilo.com. 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 Henk-Jan Molenkamp differentiate ourselves from other consultants by working towards a common used collaborative tooling solution to ensure the same way of working across the company. I.e. 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 I’m always trying to learn and improve (do things smarter – so actually I’m 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!

CEO I have been assigned by the Board of PMI Netherlands Chapter as your new CEO, starting January 2014. I am looking forward to this and expect to meet you at the Chapter Meetings and all events we create. Earlier this year I retired after a great professional life which had only one downside; I completely lost count on how many times I travelled around the world, the places I have seen and the sheer amount of hotels I have slept in. So imagine, I find my retirement quite relaxing at the moment. Oh, by the way, I just formally launched a Foundation for helping and coaching people. It’s what it is, once you are managing quite some challenging projects you can’t really stop any more. Hans Fransen Project management and international relations is me. It started very early in my shipbuilding period, later at CMG and Oracle where I was involved in international projects in various roles and also as Director of Strategic Alliances at KPNQuest. The latter I found the most challenging job; how to make different parties work together with different cultures and different “political” agendas. My last job was with Oracle. I was assigned as Project Manager within the Global Business Units Tax. Later, when working for Utilities I was also assigned as the representative for the introduction Oracle’s Unified Method (OUM) within the Global Business Unit. OUM is essentially Oracle’s version of the PMBOK but enhanced with many forms, templates and tools. I have been involved with the PMI Netherlands Chapter earlier. Just after the kick-off in autumn 2001 I became the Director Professional Development for the Chapter. In the period following we invited Kertzner from the IIL for giving a workshop. In January 2006 I became Director Marketing and Sponsoring and I was also President of the Editing Committee for the Dutch translation of “The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge”, 3rd edition®. As I said earlier, I am looking forward to be your CEO and expect to meet you at our Chapter Meetings and all events we will create. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2014 in good health, with lots of fun and good relationships.
Treasurer My project management career started at the City of Amsterdam administration where I was the sponsor/customer of several IT-projects. In 1985 I joined Pandata (now Cap-Gemini) as a management consultant / project manager. From 1992 till my retirement in 2011 I was an employee of CSC, where I was involved in outsourcing transition programs in EMEA and also in the delivery of our customer’s project portfolios in EMEAAPAC. I have been a member of the PMI Benelux Chapter since 2000 and PMI NL Chapter since its chartering in 2002. From 2002 to 2005 I served my first term on the Board of PMI NL Chapter, starting as Director Special Events and later as Treasurer. From 2009 till 2011 I was President of the Chapter.
Andre Legerman
Since then I have been an active member of the Interessegroep ISO 21500, a joint IPMA NL-PMINLCH group that advocates the global standard on Project Management ISO 21500. In 2012 I was editor of the Dutch edition of the management guide ‘ISO 21500 in de praktijk’, written by 17 members of the Interessegroep and in 2013 project manager of the English translation: ‘ISO 21500 in Practice’. In 2014 I will take up again the role of Treasurer. 11 PMI Netherlands Chapter | Postbus 90261 | 1006 BG Amsterdam - Vakvereniging voor Project-, Programma- en Portfoliomanagers www.PMI-Netherlands-Chapter.org
ISO 21500 in Practice – A Management Guide Based on the cooperation between IPMA and PMI NL chapter in the creation of ISO 21500, a team of enthusiastic volunteers created the Dutch publication ISO 21500 praktijkgids (November 2012). Based on the enthusiastic response on this initiative, expressed by fellow ISO 21500 team members, and their requests for an English translation, a small team followed up. The English translation and update has been created by • André Legerman • Anton Zandhuis • Gilbert Silvius • Rochelle Rober • Rommert Stellingwerf.

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. What’s more, visibly addressing small issues builds, maintains and reinforces your stakeholders’ trust in the organizational culture. For PMI members and volunteers, good levels of trust foster good levels of volunteerism and engagement. In the study, “Ethical Leadership and Trust: It’s All About Meeting Expectations,” 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 haven’t reviewed them recently, revisit PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Ethical Decision-Making Framework, and visit the Ethics in Project Management Community of Practice.
