Grzegorz Szałajko

Strategic Advisor in Project Management

LinkedIn

As a globally recognized expert in portfolio, program, and project management, I support organizations in the effective implementation of key strategic initiatives, changes, and transformations. I combine over 20 years of practical experience with a deep understanding of modern standards and trends. I am a passionate storyteller, always inspiring the audience with fresh perspectives and showing practical ways of using modern project management to deliver value in organizations.

I am a co-author of the Global Standard for Risk Management in Portfolios, Programs and Projects (PMI), editor of the Polish edition of the 7th edition of the PMBOK Guide (PMI), Lead Editor and one of the architects of the Project Excellence Baseline (IPMA), and contributor to several other international standards. I am one of the founding members of the PMI Poland Chapter and co-founder of the Wrocław branch. I am also an honorary member of the Project Management Association of Nepal (PMAN).

I lecture in MBA and Executive MBA programs and author dedicated programs for managerial staff at leading universities, including Aalto University Executive Education and Kozminski University.


What will you gain from working with me as a mentee?
As your "sparring partner," I offer a fresh perspective on the challenges you face. I'm also eager to bring my experience to discussions about your ideas for personal, team, or company development.

I enjoy working with individuals who have a clear vision for themselves and are actively building a support network to help them achieve their goals. I bring over two decades of experience and a network of contacts that can be useful in realizing even the most ambitious projects. If you know what you want to achieve, have a plan, and need a "sparring partner," let's brainstorm, scheme, bounce ideas around, and find ways to make your plan succeed. :-)
