MY MOTIVATION TO BECOME A CERTIFIED PROJECTS MANAGER |
| |
The Health Services is currently going through a major change process, with an ambitious and demanding reform programme commenced to modernize and radically reform the structures and business processes around the health service delivery. Project Management is seen as a key tool to achieve these objectives.
A key role of my office is to drive commonality across projects by providing methodologies, tools and processes and standards within the Primary Community and Continuing Care Pillar.
My achievement in attaining Level B Certification will hopefully further promote the profession of Project Management throughout the Health Services, and encourage others to deepen their skills and knowledge in this area and to formalize their project management skills through certification. |

IPMA's 4 Level Certification (4LC)
Working in a competitive environment under tight schedules and even tighter budgets will require project managers to empower themselves with latest tools and techniques. Unlike in the past where the project head was a person that rose from the ranks under the guidance of his seniors, project managers of the future will have to be versatile and innovative having a grasp of both technical and commercial aspects. Experience would of course count but a different set of skills will have to be imparted and continuously upgraded. It is a new opportunity for Indian professionals to take full advantage of IPMA’s 4LC. |
