Learning For How The World Works Now

Our articles about the PMCD Framework focus on what it means to become a competent project manager, while the articles below focus on the details of how to study towards that. Some of these articles zoom into tools, techniques and frameworks which we’ve developed to assist you in learning Project Management. Most of these approaches align to the actual tasks which you will be required to perform as a project manager, and are not found in regular Project Management courses.

We’ve titled this section ‘Learning For How The World Works Now’ because it’s about exactly that! While many of our methods are unique, we draw inspiration from numerous contemporary common-sense thinkers and doers in practical education. If you take a learning journey with us, you’ll soon learn some of their names.
