Building Project Management Centers of Excellence

Summary

Education and training are cornerstones of the foundation that supports the successful adoption of project management best practices. It will surely fail if management does not support the development and implementation, both financially and practically, by their participation. Finding skilled and experienced project managers in the job market today is very difficult, especially those who are PMP® certified. Retention and "growing your own" is the key to meeting your current and future needs, because their availability on the open market will increase slowly while the demand will continue to grow faster as more and more organizations adopt project management as a core business function.
