The PMI Philippines CONNECT Newsletter for August 2026 explores the theme of risk and resilience in modern project management, highlighting how leaders can navigate uncertainty through agility, adaptability, and informed decision-making. The issue features insights from Joseph Alfred Pineda on rethinking risk, discussions on the growing role of AI in risk management, a member spotlight on Erwin Limon, an interactive Risk Management Challenge, and a special feature that connects Filipino history and culture with the principles of project leadership and nation-building.

Storm-Proof Leadership: Navigating Risk Through Agility

In this 'Risk & Resilience' issue, we explore how to navigate uncertainty—going beyond standard plans to lead with true agility. We spotlight Joseph Alfred Pineda on 'storm-proof' leadership, celebrate Buwan ng Wika with a dive into Filipino Psychology, and test your skills in our Risk Management Challenge. Plus, we discuss how AI is reshaping risk prediction and catch up with Erwin Limon in our Member Spotlight.

Smarter Project Management Through AI, Community, and Better Risk Decisions

In IT projects, risk rarely announces itself loudly. More often, it starts with familiar lines:

“We can clean the data later.”

“Users will adapt after go-live.”

“The integration is almost done.”

“Let’s monitor it during hypercare.”

"Risk management is not about trying to control every outcome. It is about staying alert, communicating early, and helping people move forward when plans inevitably change."

Navigate The Unknown: THE RISK MATRIX CHALLENGE

Happy August, PMI-PH! In the world of project management, uncertainty is the only constant—but navigating it is where true project leaders shine. Risks aren’t just threats to avoid—they are opportunities waiting to be exploited!

Building the Nation, One Risk at a Time: The Filipino Project Manager’s August Tribute

August always feels a bit different in the Philippines. Schools are busy with “Sabayang Pagbigkas” for “Buwan ng Wika”. We take a pause to remember a man who believed the Filipino was worth dying for, and we close the month by honoring the nameless heroes of our past.
