October 2022 · PM² GROUP
The first webinar is planned to provide an overview of European project management with PM². This webinar is given by Lex van der Helm and Laurent Kummer. Both Lex and Laurent are very active within the PM² environment and have provided a large amount of training in PM² over the last couple of years. They are also both active project management professionals within the European Commission.
In the webinar we explain what PM² is and why it is relevant, what the PM² GROUP is, and why we hold PM² in such high regard. The goal of the PM² GROUP is to enable European project management according to PM².
The PM² GROUP is a consortium — a collaboration between members who have a shared set of values and common goals. Its goal is to facilitate the implementation of the PM² project management methodology in public and private projects as intended by the Centre of Excellence in PM² (CoEPM²) of the European Commission.
The PM² GROUP has set out three main activity areas to achieve this goal:
The PM² GROUP is governed by the Certification Council — an independent panel of PM² and certification experts, each representing different industries and interests. Council members are selected from member organisations of the PM² GROUP based on their experience, network and contributions to PM².
This month, a new member was added to the PM² GROUP, and a representative also joined the Council. We are happy to welcome Cronos Europa.
Cronos Europa is a company of the Cronos Group uniquely dedicated to the creative and digital challenges of European institutions. They accompany their clients throughout their projects, locally and remotely, "from AI to Zg Quantum".
Cronos Europa consultants have been contributing to the development, implementation and evangelisation of PM² since its very inception. All stakeholders have long awaited an open and non-profit coalition promoting PM² certifications based on the exact same criteria as those used by European Commission staff. Being part of this initiative is a testimony to the dedication of their consultants and a core element of their corporate mission.
Cronos Europa has already made significant contributions to the PM² GROUP, for which they were asked to participate in the Certification Council. Representing Cronos Europa is Giovanni Colucci, member of the Cronos Europa Management Team and Presales, Marcom and Contract Management Director.
Giovanni is a business leader passionate about growth through people, technologies and open collaboration. He has a broad international background across industries and geographies — from management consultant, to CEO, to board member — in start-ups, scale-ups and Fortune 100 companies. IESE MBA.
