I am working in corporate construction projects for last 13 years. It's time to renew my PMP credential. It is the best thing i did almost a decade ago. In last renewal cycle i learnt about MSP and eventually received managing successful programs practitioner credential. Again, it was a great learning experience and just like PMP, MSP contributed a lot towards what i can understand and do.

This time, apart from all the other things, i want to get some useful certification which will add to both my knowledge and PDUs. What are your recommendations? What next?

It depends (there's that word again) on your current job, and where you want to be in the future? If you remain in construction, would a six sigma certification help you?
Thanks Sante, i have a six sigma certification already. My interest is sparked in the green project management folks mentioned here.

Good recommendation, Rami. I thought the same, but also like Sante state, 'it depends' :)

How about looking into Green Project Manager certification? https://greenprojectmanagement.org/certification

Rami, you may also be interested in this!


"According to research by Accenture and the UN Global Compact, out of 1,000 global CEOs, from 27 industries across 103 countries, 93% regard sustainability as key to success.

Earning the GPMâ„¢ Certification puts you in a special league, positioning you as a change agent with the know-how to apply sustainable methods to projects."
This is a great recommendation Andrew! Thanks a lot.

Oh, that's a great suggestion Andrew. I definitely am very interested in it. I went through their website and it seems I quality for apply for Level's 1 & 2 as of now. This is interesting.

Thanks for sharing that Andrew. Are you pursuing this ?
Rami,

At first, I had thought it was primarily Construction based, but upon further reading, I see it is also Business related. The GPM certainly looks very interesting. I am not sure what my decision will ultimately be, but I am considering.

If you continue to move forward with it, I'd like to hear more about your experience, etc.
