PMI Quarterly Workshop

Welcome to the PMI Mile Hi Q3 Workshop!

About the Event

PMI Mile Hi’s quarterly project management workshops are designed to provide working project managers with hands-on, skill-building sessions focused on practical application and emerging industry trends. Featuring recognized industry speakers and real-world perspectives, the workshops help participants strengthen core project management capabilities, stay current with evolving best practices, and apply actionable techniques directly within their organizations. 

Q3 Speaker: Matthew Oleniuk

Bio:

Matthew Oleniuk is a former senior executive who provided oversight of large, high-stakes government projects, where optimistic reporting, complex governance, and formal assurance often obscured emerging problems. He saw firsthand how early warning signals rarely appear in dashboards, reports, or risk registers.

Today, Matthew works with senior leaders and delivery teams to strengthen how insight, evidence, and judgement shape real decisions. His sessions explore why critical signals are missed, how assumptions harden without challenge, and how information is simplified in ways that reduce understanding. His focus is on helping leaders intervene earlier – before small misinterpretations compound into visible delivery failures.

 

Q3 Workshop Title: Your Project Isn't Telling You the Truth

Most projects watch the dashboard, not the road. Leaders feel reassured by familiar metrics even as real dangers form outside the reporting frame. This session helps project leaders detect the early warning signs that dashboards miss, using real-world examples to show how instability can grow long before failure becomes visible. 

Learning Objectives:

• Why formal reporting often hides early warning signs – and what leaders miss until it’s too late
• The early patterns that indicate a project is entering dangerous territory
• How routine dashboards create blind spots, even when performance appears stable
• Practical ways leaders can surface difficult truths and intervene before failures emerge

Schedule:

• Announcements: 10:00a
• Presentation: 10:15a-12:00p

 
PDUs:

Attending this session will allow participants to earn two (2) PDUs to be applied to any certification.
