Did anyone else need to get PPMD Approval to participate in Firm Initiatives/Contribution activities? Just emailed my resource manager to get involved and she said I had to get approval first.

Lol, that’s not true. I was in PDM for 5 yrs and have done tons of FI and even travelled to client oral presentation.. what is the type of FI?

You should be able to do all of that..it is good to do them for your growth and will be helpful for core consulting transfer or elsewhere

I’ve recently heard you must get approval. A few years ago it was more that PDM wasn’t required to do firm initiatives but you could. Now it almost seems like we are not allowed without approval and they discourage it. I’ve think you also need a special charge code for it (like different from the traditional people working on same initiatives, and sometimes no one knows that charge code). It’s all a hassle and with very little benefit to you. But good luck if it’s just something you are interested in!

Thank you so much for this information!

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅

I just want to keep my options open if needed. Any insight is greatly appreciated. TIA!
