Hi Eric. I am getting into Project Management. I slightly know about PMI Certifications. I wonder if one needs to be certified by the PMI or ISO-21500 to create a Project Consultant Company. As Social Project consultant what would be your target market in a country where in general there is not a Project Culture.
I noticed you had reported earning a Master in Project Management to PM.com as referred to your special badges list summary. Why are you doing master again?

if organizational PM maturity is low, then a project management consultant is likely to spend a fair bit of time "selling" the value of project management to prospective clients and then helping them establish a foundational level of PM capability through training, coaching, and leading by example.
There are no global standards for PM consultants (or PMs for that matter). If a client wants to hire you, PMI or any other PM association won't prevent them from doing so even if you have not been certified. However, if you are a PMI member and/or hold a PMI credential, you are expected to adhere to PMI's Code of Ethics.

Hi Danny, Agreed with Kiron. I would say to start an enterprise in project management field is challenging for reason the Client must really appreciate the value added into their performing organisation. PM must have sense of business acumen in the industry.
Thank you.

The only thing I would add to Kiron's answer is that to be a PM consultant you only need more PM knowledge, skills and/or experience than the customers you are pursuing.

There are a new version of OPM in place. I am working in reviewing that. The OPM has no sense, it will not help you at all, unfortunatelly.

You want to start a project management company in an environment that lacks a project management, and your company is focusing on social projects. I don't see the potential for your company to make a high profit return in this scenario, so I wonder if your company will be able to remain fiscally viable for long.

Hello Eric.
I meant. By 2015, there were about 16,000 of non-profit organizations and foundations in this country that work with Social Projects. However, their methodologies and techniques are not standardized. My thesis is focused on creation of a project consultant company to provide them with training, couching and leading following the PMI Standards. What do you think? Any recommendation?
