Competencies and qualifications
What my focus areas mean for your projects
Qualifications are only worth something if they make a difference in your projects. Here you can see my professional focus areas, what you gain from them and the evidence behind them.
Focus areas
Professional focus areas and their benefit
-
Project leadership and PM organisation development
Projects that are clearly set up and securely steered, and a PM organisation with the right structures, processes, roles and standards.
-
Traditional, agile and hybrid project management
The right approach for each project, rather than one method for everything. I know both worlds from my own project practice.
-
Requirements engineering and process modelling
Requirements that everyone involved understands in the same way, and workflows made visible and verifiable with BPMN 2.0.
-
Training and coaching
Knowledge that reaches everyday project work: over 2,600 training participants and over 1,200 candidates supported in IPMA® and agile certifications.
