Project management is evolving—and today’s professionals must go beyond traditional delivery to create meaningful, measurable impact. In this engaging PMI Rochester session, Pauline McKeown introduces the MORE Framework, a strategic approach designed to help project leaders strengthen influence, elevate outcomes, and stay relevant in a rapidly changing environment shaped by AI, agile transformation, and organizational change.

Through real-world insights and career-focused reflection, attendees will explore how MORE—Manage perceptions, Own outcomes, Relentlessly reassess, and Expand perspective—empowers project managers to move from task execution to strategic leadership. Whether you are early in your project management journey or a seasoned practitioner seeking renewed direction, this session offers actionable guidance to help you grow your confidence, visibility, and professional impact.

Join us to discover how doing MORE isn’t about just delivering the within scope, time and cost it’s about going beyond that to think strategically with a broader perspective.
