Trueventus - Project Management Competency Development

Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: What are the top reasons for project failure? The reasons for project failure are many and varied but Standish Group has determined that the top 3 reasons for project failure are down to inadequately trained and / or inexperienced Project Managers, failure to set and manage expectations; and poor leadership at any and all levels. From here we can judge that it is mostly people related issues rather than technical issue that are the main cause of failure.

So how competent is your workforce in dealing with projects and how to measure it? It is a challenge that most companies have to deal with and it is nothing new. Companies will need to better identify, select, train and support both program and project managers as a core competency within the organisation.

“Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating the talents of those who work for us and pointing them towards a certain goal” said Walt Disney

Building around proven academic research, Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo, CDT, CCE, MScPM, MRICS, world-class project management workshop leader will explore the various competency models, including those of PMI, AIPM, IPMA and GAPPS, and using those as the basis; actually conduct competency assessments in the classes. Dr Paul will also explore on how to modify competencies to fit your specific organisation or application and demonstrate how to use the Kirkpatrick 4 Step Model to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of project and program management training programs.
