2012  will  be  a  real  busy  year  for  PM  professionals...

Change  will  be  everywhere....changing  technology..changing  economics...changing  international  scene...

PM  IS  MANAGING CHANGE.....

The  PM  of  2005  is  obsolete.

The  old  model  is  antique..

We  must  step  up.

Enough  said.

Hi to all overseas friends

As you might know we at PM Greece are implementing our National PM Excellence Recogntion (labeled as ERGA-NI) based on the IPMA PM Excellence Award model.

In the project organization I (as Project Manager) invited  to join us the  Secretary of EBEN.gr http://www.eben.gr/(the Greek national partner of EBEN= European Business Ethics Network)

This Greek NGO has developed an ETHICS model (labeled BEE) for organizations.

We wiil work together for a particular application of this model that can apply to projects and integrate it to our <ERGA-NI> model. 

This is a pilot approach and if it really creates value, we will present it at the IPMA PM Award board.

Hello Carl, I agree with Les about SHOUTING. To your question about Ethics: Yes, PMI does have a code of ethics. It is much more involved than the earlier version, and in some ways was inspired by people who invoked the USA's First Amendment when discussing PMI (freedom of speech).

We believe ethics is a two way street. During the comments period for PMI's new document, some people asked if PMI employees and managers would also be required to stand by those ethics. asapm has a code of ethics that is more straight-forward, and remains two-way. Both certificants and the organization's volunteer workers and officers follow it.

And, we do not just espouse Ethics, we require knowledge and Performance Competence in Ethics as one of the 48 Elements demonstrated by PM practitioners in our four levels of certification.

This early embracing of the practice of Ethics by IPMA and asapm has led others to begin (at least) talking about it as well. Thanks for your comment, Carl!

Carl, it would be best if you wrote in upper/lower case.  All caps is generally associated with a person who is SHOUTING!
