- Huge rise in professionalism
- Money isn’t everything!
- Accreditation value questioned!
Wow! Finally got there and have pulled together what will hopefully be seen as a useful snapshot of the Project management workplace! This is our second survey on the UK project management market, once again looking at working conditions, rewards and contractor/employee sentiment. The report looks back at 2006 and what people saw in the marketplace and also forward into 2007 to gauge what people are expecting. We are pleased with the output and believe that it has value to all practitioners at all levels and equally all roles be that Project Support, Project Management, Programme Management or Change Management.
Several key themes from the survey have caught my eye, and I think are worthy of follow up over the coming month:
- More and more Project professionals are gaining professional accreditation as employers demand this prior to engagement even though most Project Management professionals base their seniority on experience rather than qualifications. There would appear to be some confusion as to what or who is driving this requirement.
- However, respondents feel there are too many accreditation bodies within the profession, and this in many respondents’ eyes tends to undermine the value of accreditation.
- A significant number (58%) of Project Management professionals are members of recognised Professional Bodies (APM, PMI, etc.). They generally see market advantage of such affiliation though satisfaction levels drop when asked about their value for money and impact on enhancing the profession.
