The Managing Director, Project Management Institute (PMI) Sub-Saharan Africa, George Asamani, has said the institute’s decision to launch the PMI Project Management Office Certified Professional (PMI-PMOCP) certification stemmed from the need to equip PMO professionals with the expertise to collaborate effectively with executive leadership, drive strategic decisions, and enhance organisational success.
The PMI boss expressed the belief that the new certification would elevate the profession and transform how organisations achieve project success on a broader scale.
That, he argued, underscores the institute’s commitment to empowering PMO leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to excel in their roles and drive meaningful change in their organisations.
Asamani expressed the optimism that the certification would go a long way in establishing a new industry standard for PMO certifications, equipping professionals with the expertise to become trusted advisors to executives.
He added that the PMI-PMOCP certification has been reimagined to meet the evolving demands of modern organisations, and also developed in collaboration with hundreds of seasoned PMO leaders and industry experts to ensure its relevance and impact.
“We also believe it will empower them to navigate modern organisations’ complexities confidently, drive strategic alignment, and deliver measurable, high-impact value,” he added.
