Preparing Modern Project Managers Who Can Deliver Success and Support Growth
Modern project managers are the lynchpins in the successful execution of an organization’s short- and long-term vision, and with 30% of project managers nearing retirement age, the need for skilled professionals is as great as ever. In order to ensure that project plans go smoothly and achieve their goals, today’s project managers need to be skilled and well-trained in the art of both project management and people management.

Industry certifications – such as the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) Certification and the popular Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification – are an important step in preparing you or your employees for modern and effective project management, but they’re just the beginning. Today’s project managers are not only expected to be certified in their field, but just as importantly to actively contribute to their organization’s bottom line and to the customer value – all while managing with little to no direct authority over those who are doing the work.
Modern project managers need to have:
- Strong understanding of project management approaches and techniques
- Solid business acumen
- Effective communication skills, and
- The ability to inspire and influence others to success
