George Pitagorsky Biography
George Pitagorsky, PMP, is a consultant, coach, and author specializing in project management and mindfulness. He combines expertise in project, program, and process management with extensive study and practice in mindfulness and wisdom traditions. With more than 50 years of experience in project, program, process, and product management, Pitagorsky has served as an entrepreneur, consultant to major corporations, and chief information officer for a multibillion-dollar organization.
Pitagorsky's career includes roles such as chief information officer for a multibillion-dollar organization, director of product development for an international training organization, and principal in two technology start-ups. He has worked with global corporate clients, government agencies, and small- and mid-sized firms in industries including education, technology, engineering, consulting, banking, and publishing. His consulting engagements have included work with Microsoft, Nokia, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, and Pfizer. Pitagorsky directed the development of the Unified Project Management Methodology and contributed to the creation of a global training firm's Project Management Competency Model.
As an author, Pitagorsky has written "Managing Expectations: A Mindful Approach to Achieving Success," "The Zen Approach to Project Management," "Managing Conflict in Projects," and "How to be Happy Even When You are Sad, Mad or Scared." He also contributed a chapter to "Cognitive Readiness in Project Teams: Reducing Project Complexity and Increasing Success in Project Management." His work bridges practical business methodology with contemplative wisdom, and his books are referenced in the fields of project management, mindfulness, and organizational leadership.
Pitagorsky has taught meditation at NY Insight Meditation Center for 20 years while working as a consultant and coach for individuals, businesses, and government agencies. He co-developed and leads the five-month Conscious Living Conscious Working program. In his workshop "The Mindful PM: Managing Chaos without Losing Your Mind," Pitagorsky explores how mindfulness, combined with pragmatic tools and techniques, supports project managers, business analysts, and other professionals in navigating uncertainty. He has spoken internationally at conferences and for firms including Microsoft, Nokia, and major international financial institutions.
Pitagorsky emphasizes the integration of process, effective communication, relationship skills, mindfulness meditation, and knowledge and resource management as essential for organizational success. He highlights the importance of a system-aware approach to change management, particularly as AI, hybrid work models, and stakeholder complexity reshape the workplace. Pitagorsky has also developed an AI coaching bot, "Ask George," reflecting his commitment to innovation and guidance in project management and mindfulness.
