I’ve been thinking about where I want my career to take me. I am especially interested in project management of emergency relief/disaster relief work with NGO. Could you please give me some advice, specifically if traditional project management qualifications such as prince2 can be used in these situations? Thank you so much. It was very difficult to find information on this topic. Kind Regards Ellen Networking Case study This is a great question! I don’t have much experience with Disaster/Emergency Relief so I reached out and created new connections to help Ellen. This is an example of how networking is not an event, but a continuous process. It’s about helping others and building relationships, not trying to sell yourself at cocktail parties. This happens all the while and this particular situation seemed like a great opportunity to share with the?pmStudent community. I was able to find a few people through LinkedIn and Google searches. Andrew Stitt, the PMI Educational Foundation?, has been a friend for years. I knew that this organization did some work with NGOs based on past conversations and a little Google research. Andy provided many great resources, as you’ll see. He also connected me to John Cropper, Director of Project Management Services at LINGOs. John is a great resource. John Cropper, Director of Project Management Services at LINGOs, was my contact. You can listen to our conversation here.

These resources were provided by Andy and John, along with some of my own research. These resources are yours to use! Are you looking for PM4NGOs website and LinkedIn Group? Join this group!
