About the National Centre for Project Management

NCPM is unique in fostering a trans-disciplinary perspective that covers all aspects of implementing successful project and programme management, regardless of sector. In exploring the new frontiers of project management knowledge and capability, NCPM endeavours to reflect the increasing role of projects and project management in modern society as well as the organisational, strategic and cultural implications associated with instituting sound project management practice. This broad perspective positions NCPM as the leading centre of excellence specialising in all aspects of managing projects.

NCPM focuses on developing the trans-disciplinary and essential facets of the discipline of project management, by means of:

• encouraging, fostering and participating in leading-edge research and playing a part in developing the project management body of knowledge
• launching a new national research forum
• supporting the development of the National Conference on Project Management
• supporting the launch of a new journal.

An Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and corporate members further underpins the industrial input, guaranteeing access, relevance and value in terms of research and educational products.

Further activities focus on the development of continuous professional development, professional courses, work-based qualifications and postgraduate provision.

NCPM thus offers a dynamic and practice-focused environment for sharing and disseminating research, knowledge and competences with a wider audience, including industrial participants and sponsors.
