PMI and CCL Partnership
One of PMI’s Strategic Focus Areas 4.0 aims to establish partnerships with compatible organizations to offer modular solutions catering to the requirements of project professionals and changemakers at every stage of their career journey. These like-minded organizations share our commitment to fostering change and will assist PMI in broadening our influence by collaborating on innovative partnerships and initiatives. CCL stands out as a leading global institution specializing in leadership development.
Numerous leaders lack the necessary support in their leadership roles, whether they hold managerial positions or lead teams in project endeavors. This can create strains in their new roles. Since leadership is one of the crucial sides of the PMI Talent Triangle®, we sought to continue to expand the products we make available for our community and partnered with CCL to offer courses for leaders.
