Description
Project management is a core competence for the customer in his project-oriented organisation. Increasing expectations of products go hand in hand with higher demands on project performance. To meet these demands, a project management academy was developed. The academy offers training and certification to improve project management.
Through a comprehensive analysis of the current project management by means of surveys and expert assessments, the starting point was determined. On this basis, a concept and training content were developed.
Through cooperation with the partner PM Lead, international certification according to IPMA/GPM was made possible. The training was successfully conducted by selected trainers from PM Lead and Business Quest in all European locations. The majority of participants successfully completed the certification.
It is worth mentioning that the trainings were held in trainer tandem (PM methodology and behaviour), that line organisation managers were trained synchronously and that the program was also extended to central functions such as HR.
