Our Thermal business has an ambitious strategy for the future, which requires outstanding planning and delivery capability. To support this strategy, they are in the process of developing and growing their project management competence, including providing our global and local teams with the skills and knowledge required to deliver key projects. Over the last 18 months, we are delighted to have put a number of people through Project Management Professional Certification training, using an online learning platform. We are delighted to share that Francesca, from our European Product Management group, has passed her PMI exam and achieved PMP certification! Over the coming months we hope to see more of our people becoming qualified. Francesca commented “In 2020 I joined the Thermal Project Management (PMP) Training cohort. After the course I decided to leverage [my] new skills and obtain the certification. With this achievement I wanted to thank my company and my colleagues for the trust placed in me and I wanted to properly finalise the career development."
