and Growth Across the Profession
The Association for Project Management (APM), the only chartered membership organisation for the project profession in the world, has delivered a series of initiatives that reflect its commitment to advancing knowledge, inclusivity and professional development.
One of the most significant developments this quarter has been APM’s new content hub, designed specifically for business leaders operating outside the traditional project management profession. The hub provides accessible insights, resources and thought leadership to support leaders navigating the growing demands of transformation and change.
