While maintaining this leadership position in project management, PMI Strategic outlook has expanded its scope and span of reach not only to those who consider the project, program or portfolio management their profession, but to include all changemakers, empowering them to drive changes through a broad range of ways of working & power skills, while amplifying business acumen.

Figure 3 PMI Services vs Career Seniority
Embracing and expanding impact from project managers to all changemakers and knowledge workers to create ten times a positive impact on our society. More broadly, Changemakers are people whose job involves using the information to make impactful decisions to enable changes; those who proactively drive change and as such need project management skills. They might be PMs by profession or people who would never consider themselves project managers today. Changemakers tackle diverse global challenges and require a broad skillset with a foundation in project management alongside additional skills tailored to the need of these challenges.
As such PMI strategic outlook aims to define and shape the future of work for all changemakers, to achieve a Positive and lasting Impact on our society.
This transformational change is supported by PMI non only in term of strategy outlook but mainly leveraging its product portfolio, defined and shaped with key resources to back the change.
PMI product strategy is indeed developed to serve changemakers, providing targeted offerings at key moments and ongoing engagement services for all changemakers community.
