2005 Spring Project Challenge

I’ve got the accreditation, but am I qualified?

A growing number of organisations require proof of capability before entrusting their programmes and projects to programme and project managers. Most individuals when faced with this need follow an accreditation route based on a flawed understanding of the demands that these roles make. What organisations are really seeking is proof that the selected individuals are ‘safe’; that they can carry out the role successfully.

This session, using findings from a number of major companies as they evaluate the personal profiles of their project and programme managers, unravels some of the issues around what makes a first class programme manager, and why some senior project managers cannot break through the glass ceiling.
