Professionals Value IPMA Certification

Organisations and businesses of today need personnel with solid project management competence. Certified project managers know how to deliver with quality, faster and less expensively. The IPMA certification reviews a portfolio of evidence to assure end–to–end project management grasp. It is performance-based and provides standards by which project management performance can be measured. Taking IPMA advanced certification provides confidence to clients that the company can handle the clients’ business efficiently and cost-effective. It also provides positive proof that the individual concerned has gained peer recognition for managing projects.

Three recently accredited IPMA Level B professionals – each from radically different sectors - explain the rationale for pursuing this qualification.

My role within Boston Scientific is to lead platform and breakthrough product development projects and lead continuous improvement within the project management organisation.
