Why Project Management is Important for Human Resources Professionals?

In today’s competitive world, the ability to successfully implement organizational strategy and “get the right things done” is paramount. Yet, research indicates that about 20% of the projects fail outright, nearly 60% suffer setbacks, and less than 20% are completed successfully. As human resources professionals, it is imperative to develop the talented people in project management.

According to the Project Management Institute, highly trained staff can increase project success by 59%. When entire teams are working collaboratively and applying good practices, organizations can reach greater heights and at lower costs.

Project Management Training for Institutions

PMO Advisory’s core capability is project management. We jokingly call ourselves “one inch wide (e.g., project management) but one foot deep (because we dive deeper)”.  We are different than many other training companies because our instructors also lead projects.  Hence, aside from being highly accredited and certified, our people work hands-on in the various areas of project management. This way, our customers benefit not from just “book knowledge” but learning how project management is actually practiced. We offer our courses in multiple modalities:

1. eLearning – These courses are delivered from our learning management system and it provides the learner the maximum flexibility.
2. Virtual Real-Time – Using live virtual technologies, our expert instructors provide real-time instructions to people across the global.
3. Classroom – We believe the traditional classroom is still the gold standard in training. Here, we can delivery training at our training center in Northern New Jersey or at your site.
4. Blended – To maximize training effectiveness and flexibility for organizations and their people, many of our training blends eLearning, Virtual Real-Time, and Classroom modalities.

In addition to training (for the sake of knowledge or hands-on practice), we also offer a broad range of certification preparation bootcamps designed for serious professionals. Organizations, especially those that work with clients, benefit from the elevated credentials of having certified project professionals on their teams.  Certifications such as PMP, PgMP, PfMP, and other PMI credentials are highly sought after and they enhance the likelihood winning work.
