Project Management Institute (PMI) to Launch Registered Consultant Program

Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading project management member association, announces that it will launch its Registered Consultant Program during the first quarter of 2011. The program, which is based on demand from organizations around the world, will provide organizations with the convenience of accessing a PMI maintained list of consulting firms prepared to improve their project, program, and portfolio management practices. It will also provide marketing opportunities to help consulting firms directly reach organizations looking for project, program, and portfolio services. Consultants are invited to learn more and submit their application for the Registered Consultant Program at www.PMI.org/RCP.aspx.

Once launched, the Registered Consultant Program allows for the quick selection of firms based on specific factors including areas of practice, location and size. A guide to the selection of a project, program or portfolio consultancy will also be available as a no-charge download. To qualify for inclusion in the PMI Registered Consultant Program, each consulting firm must demonstrate the following:

• It is legally constituted and recognized by its country’s regulations/laws
• It agrees and adheres to PMI’s Code of Conduct (based on the PMI Code of Ethics)
• It has a minimum of five years of relevant consulting experience
• Its officer-signed application attesting to the accuracy of its provided information
