On February 14, 2025, the project manager breakfast took place in Graz at the Austrian Institute for Provocative Approaches. This time, Birgit Deutschmann took us on an inspiring journey into the world of the humorous-provocative approach.
Birgit Deutschmann has been working with the humorous and provocative approach for 17 years and knows that targeted provocation with charm can work wonders. With ease, humour and pinpoint accuracy, she showed us how even difficult topics can be set in motion with a smile.

Many thanks to Birgit Deutschmann for this refreshing impulse and of course to all participants for the open and appreciative exchange! This network thrives on mutual exchange and grows with every meeting. The exciting morning showed what our project manager breakfast is all about: exploring new paths together, immersing ourselves in other worlds for a moment and taking away valuable ideas for our own day-to-day work - we are already looking forward to the next meeting!
On April 25th we will meet at 8:30 a.m. in the MINKT laboratory at TU Graz, where not only project management expertise awaits us, but also a playful approach to research in the Super Science Space at TU Graz. We cordially invite you to this project manager breakfast! You can look forward to an inspiring morning full of exclusive insights and exciting food for thought.
We regularly send you news on the topics of project, process, change and agile management.
