PRiSM Practitioner
PRiSM
Practitioner is a hands-on project management and sustainability course that is
designed to prepare individuals to improve
the way they view, approach, manage and drive change. The course blends
instruction with in-class case studies using real-world examples that
bring project management to life in a manner that not only meets the needs of
business in today’s economy but also accounts for the needs of society and the
environment. PRiSM focuses on Principles, benefits, systems thinking, and
competence building.

GPM Training Leverages the International Project
Management Association’s International Competence Baseline (ICB)
Competence
has its origins in the Latin word ‘Competentia’ which means “is authorized to
judge” as well as “has the right to speak”;…. so the world hasn’t changed so
much in this regard. We’re looking for competent project managers to
orchestrate project activities. Increasingly, competence descriptions and
competence management have changed Human Resource Management in many
organizations.
A
competence is a collection of knowledge, personal attitudes, skills and
relevant experience needed to be successful in a certain function. To help
candidates measure and develop themselves and to help assessors to judge a
candidate’s competence, the competence is broken down into competence ranges.
The ranges are mainly dimensions that together describe the function and are
more or less independent. Each range contains competence elements that cover
the most important competence aspects in the particular range.
