Episode 1: Introduction to the podcast

Welcome to the very first episode of the PM Insights Podcast, brought to you by PMI New Zealand! In this episode, we’re kicking things off by introducing what this podcast is all about and what you can expect in the coming episodes.

We’ll dive into the basics of project management—what it is, why planning is so important, and the key role project managers play across different industries. We’ll also chat about the unique challenges of managing projects in New Zealand’s “can-do” culture, where people often jump straight to solutions without much planning.

You’ll also get the rundown on the three types of episodes we’ll be featuring: Interviews with industry experts, Shorts that break down key topics quickly, and News updates from PMI New Zealand.

Whether you’re an experienced project manager, someone looking to get into the field, or just curious about how projects come together, this podcast is for you. Tune in, learn something new, and join us on this journey to better project management in New Zealand!
