Dates: 27 June 2007
Venue: Westminster, London

The 2007 seminar programme entitled ‘Getting the Big Four Right: Managing Effective Projects, Programmes and Risk Management’ focused on enterprise programme and project management. CITI were delighted to present at the event with GCHQ on ‘Project manager profiling: building a community fit for purpose’.

In developing corporate capability in any particular discipline, organisations need to establish their current and desired states, and develop, implement and review a strategy for attaining that desired position.

The use of project management profiling identifies each practitioner’s level of capability, and facilitates the identification of individual development needs and informs corporate tactics and progress.

CASE STUDY ‘Project manager profiling: building a community fit for purpose’

GCHQ established its project management profession some three years ago, and has gradually developed collateral to support the development of its project management community, including a development framework, fully defined roles and career paths, and promotion integrated with corporate standards. The maturity of the project management profession is evidenced by increased capability, development against an approved business plan, and recognition by peer groups within the organisation.
