Project Management Institute Certifies FranklinCovey's Project Management Essentials For the Unofficial Project Manager
Dubai, UAE--FranklinCovey Middle East, a global performance improvement company, announced today the launch of its newest productivity offering, Project Management Essentials™ For the Unofficial Project Manager. The work session was created for every employee in the workplace who manages projects of any kind in their job.
"What is it that differentiates organizations with higher success rates in effectively managing projects from those with lower success rates?"
Kory Kogon, the global practice leader for productivity and FranklinCovey Middle East are offering complimentary live, half-day overviews of the new work session in 3 cities throughout the Middle East during the first week of June.

"In today's knowledge worker world, virtually everyone in the workplace has quietly slipped into the role of unofficial project manager," said Kory Kogon, Productivity Practice Leader, Franklin Covey Co. "They are managing projects of some type, big or small, without any formal training, which raises the probability of project failure. Scope creep and a lack of process also increase the probability of project failure, costing organizations significant time, money, and employee morale."
The Project Management Institute ("PMI"), the world's leading project management member association representing more than 650,000 practitioners in more than 185 countries, conducted its annual global survey in late 2011 of more than 1000 practitioners and project management leaders across a variety of experience levels and industries. The survey found that less than 50% of projects in organizations with very low maturity in their project management systems met the original budgets or timelines (PMI 2012 Pulse of the Profession).
"What is it that differentiates organizations with higher success rates in effectively managing projects from those with lower success rates?" said Kogon. "Project management today isn't about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of 'informal authority' are more important than ever before so every team member is not only inspired, but has the knowledge and skills for completing every project in a successful manner. This has to be the number one project management mindset of the 21st century."
Franklin Covey has been recently approved as a Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) by PMI. R.E.P.s are organizations that have been approved by PMI to help project managers achieve and maintain the Project Management Professional (PMP)®, Program Management Professional (PgMP)® and other PMI professional credentials.

Franklin Covey joins more than 1,500 R.E.P.s in more than 80 countries.
