I have the real privilege of helping organizations
around the world improve their ability to deliver projects and lead
teams. In 2008 we added a PMP Exam Prep offering to our
mix to help project managers who want to get their Project
Management Professional certification from the Project Management
Institute.
I have to say this while I can because it's only a matter
of time before I won't be able to! So far, every one of our
students who have attended our workshops and taken the PMP
certification exam have passed! Now obviously I can't take
too much credit for this track record because anyone who wants to
pass the PMP exam must have a fair amount of experience to even
apply. In addition, there's plenty of study required. That said,
it's totally passable and we can help you.
If you are a project manager and haven't yet pursued
certification, I strongly recommend you consider making it a goal
for the coming year. Click here to learn
more about PMP certification.
Now of course PMP certification is an obvious option, but
did you know there are other well respected, if not as well known,
project management certifications? In this cast you'll
hear from Bill Duncan. If Bill's name isn't familiar, his work will
be to many of you. Bill was the primary author of the original
PMBOK® Guide and shares some helpful insights on certification and
delivering successful projects.
To learn more about the American Society for the Advancement of
Project Management and the certification Bill talks about in this
cast, check out http://www.asapm.org/blog.
Would you like to help your organization improve its
ability to deliver projects more reliably? Our project
management series of workshops take well established project
management practices and use proven adult learning methods to help
you put them into action. Whether you're looking for certification
for a selected group of PM's or helping your entire organization
improve their project management competencies, our workshops and
coaching can help you make a real improvement in the coming
year.
And here's a New Year's gift for you! Book one or more
workshops before the end of January 2010 and we'll reduce the cost

I invite you to join us in 2 weeks when you'll hear my
