PM Behavioural Index Survey
 
Attributes of a high-performing Project Manager, by the PMO Executive Council, was a ground-breaking report.  It identified that there is no demonstrative link between certification and Project Manager effectiveness. What really matters are behavioural attributes, that is "how" PMs apply their technical skills and expertise.
 
The research found that due to growing project compexity and criticality, business now demands a new breed of PM. To achieve this, organisations must embed behavioural attributes into their PM recruitment, development and performance management processes.
 
The PM Behavioural Index Survey has been developed and launched by behavioural consultancy experts Acuity, to measure the extent to which organisations have implemented these recomendations and hence to gauge their progress towards achieving Next-Generation PM capability.
