Nepal is still poor in the case of project management becuase of two reasons:

a. No experts deliver

b. Charge huge amount and unaffordable to every one..........

 i fully agreed to "Accreditation bodies make money by offering benchmarking against their PM model, which must now be deliverable in the context of a week or less and have the target of 'achieve the proof of money well spent' and 'mobility in the jobs-market' tests"

Now imagine what will be the future generation?

Would I be right to suppose the members herein debate the important questions the groups header comment implies in some other forum? If that assumption is in error is it that we already live in the best achievable world and thus debate and improvement is not required?
Would anyone be interested to suggest a topic to debate? any topic?
How about ~ "Which species of cherry would you grow on a northfacing wall on the eastcoast of scotland" ~ I was thinking of morrello but would prefer a desert fruit to a cooking variety

Hi

Just joined, browsing around, found this discussion, found the JonWhitty paper mentioned below which is very interesting.

I come at it like this:

In the vast majority of cases companies pay for training for individuals.

Companies restrict absence to a week (or less) and want 'proof' of money well spent

Individuals want pay-rises and job-market mobility

Training companies want students

Students percive pay-rises and mobility as being linked to demonstratable performance

The recruitment market-place filters demonstrated performance by independant certification (being alternatively 'reliable' to resumes and reference)

Accreditation bodies make money by offering benchmarking against their PM model, which must now be deliverable in the context of a week or less and have the target of 'achieve the proof of money well spent' and 'mobility in the jobs-market' tests

One drafted and turned into derivitive products like exams then changes to the  models are expensive and not in the revenue generating interest of the accreditation bodies or training companies - Accreditors also then draft ipr protection that says no criticsms are allowed to reduce likelyhood of avoidable costs versus the future revenue stream.

My interpretation of  the landscape

Now I joined here because I want to spread ideas into use about how to better manage projects. I think writing improved guidance is easy - getting it spread seems harder... then getting it used by training graduates in a real context is the hardest part. Transition from training to use needs trainee's managers to exhibit supportive behavious and a whole lot more.

Perhaps the reality is that course attendees and managers like courses that are just 'rewards', that give access to certificates but don't require effort or change outside the attendance window by the attendee or the manager

A sorta depressing conclusion...

PM education is fresh new in Greece. We PM-Greece (National Partner) try to promote it - based on ICB3 - in Organizations but also to Universities. First pilot attempt was last year at an ellective course for Civil Engineers of the National Technical University of Athens. At this next Semester the course will be more "mature" after the Assessment & Review of past year's experience.
We, at N.T.U.A. and PM-Greece would like to learn with other experience.
