IPMA heeft de ICB 4 aangekondigd en is momenteel bezig met het verwerken van feedback voor de introductie in oktober 2015.

“Our goal for the survey is to gather evidence that will help IPMA define the market needs and desires for a new, even better, Individual Competency Baseline,” said Tim Jaques, ICB Project Secretary and Product Lead. “We have received some excellent feedback and insights that will help us to shape the forthcoming ICB4.” ICB4 will be released at the IPMA World Congress in Panama, in October 2015.

Key findings include:

• Project Managers are using standards and tools in their day-to-day work.
• It is imperative to continue engaging younger project management practitioners into project management. We can do this via university programs.
• The PMI PMBOK® Guide and the IPMA ICB3 are the top industry standards, according to the respondents.
• Project managers today make good use of online communities. More than 75% of respondents interacted with a community daily, weekly or monthly.
• Project managers, sponsors and other stakeholders view compentence as important to project success.

According to Tim, “these findings represent just a fraction of the trove of data to be found in these results. We are immensely grateful to the participants for taking the time to respond.”
