Executives:
Give your organization the performance edge!


You know that McKinsey & Co. says, “the best companies have the best project managers.” You know that programs and projects are the delivery mechanism for your strategic initiatives. You know that strength in program Executiveand project management is necessary for your organization to survive and prosper. You know which project managers are capable of delivering results and which ones are not.

Or do you?

Some may have proven their worth from previous projects. But were they skilled or just lucky? Did they succeed because of their management talents or because of the skills of the technical staff assigned to them?

Projects may be less than successful due to reasons beyond your control, but there is no reason to guess about the competence of your project managers.

asapm, through its independent Certification Board, offers advanced certifications for program and project managers. Our certification assessments are:

  • Performance-based. We look at the actual, on-the-job performance of your managers. We examine their documentary evidence and conduct an intensive, face-to-face interview to verify that they understood what they were doing and why.

  • Done by experienced program and project managers. Each of our assessors has years of experience as a program or project manager. Their expertise complements our structured assessment process.

  • Internationally recognized. Our certification credentials are recognized by the International Project Management Association (IPMA). IPMA has certified more individuals as program and project managers than any other organization in the world. Our practices also conform to the requirements of the Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS).

  • Compatible with your approach to managing projects. We evaluate results, not compliance with a proprietary standard. We accept your forms, your tools, your processes.

  • The best value for the money. Other PM credentials typically require 35-40 hours of training that can add thousands of dollars to the true cost of ownership. And most experts recommend another 40-50 hours of personal study which further increases the real cost of other credentials.

Let us help you ensure that you have competent, qualified people leading your projects!
