Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations. I have been in a director position creating and running PMOs in my organization for about 3.5 years. Got my MBA, pmp, rmp, pba and pmo-cp. I thought about doing the pmo-cc but am not sure as I am currently not strongly interested in doing consulting work. What would be the most logical next step? I have been thinking about IPMO-E to broaden my horizon. Does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks!

Vienna, I believe the PMO-CC is on hold anyways at the moment.

The most logical step for you would be one that complements your career path and goals. If you're looking for strategic and leadership roles, you could consider PgMP or doing something related to Agile like DASSM or PMI-ACP. On the other hand, I would also consider the CBAP from IIBA. I know you do have the PBA but the PBA is project focused while the CBAP is enterprise focused.

Hope this helps!

Ms. Yeung,
Given your experience and impressive list of certifications, it might be beneficial to shift your focus from acquiring more credentials to applying the knowledge you've already gathered and how it adpat to your reality. Here is how i would do:
1) Application Over Accumulation: With your MBA, PMP, RMP, PBA, and PMO-CP, you've built a solid foundation of knowledge. The next step could be to deepen your application of these skills within your current role. This might involve developing innovative strategies, enhancing existing processes, or taking on leadership roles in key projects to maximize your impact.
2) Tailor Recommendations to Your Reality: Consider how you can adapt the frameworks and methodologies from your certifications to better suit the unique challenges and needs of your organization. Customizing project management approaches to align with your company's culture and strategic goals can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes.
By focusing on these areas, you can enhance your effectiveness as a director and drive meaningful improvements within your organization, going deeper in strategics.
