In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/operations\/our-insights\/bridging-infrastructure-gaps-has-the-world-made-progress\">McKinsey<\/a>&#13;<br \/>\nfound that $3.5 trillion in yearly global economic infrastructure investment&#13;<br \/>\nwill be needed through 2035. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> The new offering by PMI includes seven&#13;<br \/>\nonline learning courses, three of which include the opportunity to earn a&#13;<br \/>\nmicro-credential upon course completion. This suite of online courses and&#13;<br \/>\nmicro-credentials will help professionals in Singapore navigate an increasingly&#13;<br \/>\nuncertain world and steer towards success. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/i.emlfiles4.com\/cmpdoc\/5\/1\/7\/8\/7\/files\/810370_singapore-market-insight-report---august-2021-final.pdf?utm_source=Turner%20%26%20Townsend&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=12576091_Singapore%20market%20insight%20report%20-%20Summer%2021&amp;dm_i=1OQJ,7HJRV,7RS9S5,UFYZW,1\">Turner&#13;<br \/>\n&amp; Townsend<\/a>, in Singapore, construction demand continues to be high,&#13;<br \/>\nwith around S$5.7 billion of contracts awarded in Q1 2021, a decline of only&#13;<br \/>\n0.1 per cent as compared to the previous quarter. At the same time, global&#13;<br \/>\nsupply chain constraints and other pandemic-related factors are expected to&#13;<br \/>\ncause tender prices to escalate by 10 to 15 per cent. Added to this are the&#13;<br \/>\nmore expensive materials and manpower. These factors suggest that construction&#13;<br \/>\nfirms and property players in Singapore will continue to be pressured to do&#13;<br \/>\nmore with less.<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;With rising costs and continued&#13;<br \/>\nconstraints from the pandemic, the construction industry and its professionals&#13;<br \/>\nin Singapore need to be more agile to navigate disruptions and steer towards&#13;<br \/>\nsuccess. This need for flexibility is also exemplified by the government&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nrecent move to prepare more than one concept plan for long-term land use for&#13;<br \/>\nthe first time in 50 years,&#8221; said Ben Breen, Global Head of Construction and&#13;<br \/>\nManaging Director, Asia Pacific, PMI. &#8220;With more than five decades in the&#13;<br \/>\nproject management industry, PMI is uniquely positioned to help equip&#13;<br \/>\nprofessionals with the skills needed to transform the surging industry through&#13;<br \/>\ndeveloping these innovative learning methods and practices,&#8221; added Ben Breen. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> PMI worked with leading construction&#13;<br \/>\norganisations and subject matter experts to identify common issues that are&#13;<br \/>\ndetracting from project outcomes and taking a toll on the professionals leading&#13;<br \/>\nthese projects\u2014and the companies funding them. The new earning solutions help&#13;<br \/>\nconstruction professionals evolve their project management skills and lead&#13;<br \/>\ntheir projects and organisations forward. The courses and micro-credentials can&#13;<br \/>\nhelp these professionals through upskilling to ensure they have the power and&#13;<br \/>\ntechnical skills needed to deliver projects of all sizes more successfully,&#13;<br \/>\nespecially as construction organisations experiment with various new&#13;<br \/>\ntechnologies and ramp up their work. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> In 2020, PMI surveyed more than 40,000&#13;<br \/>\nglobal Project Management Professional (PMP)\u00ae certification holders in the&#13;<br \/>\nconstruction industry and found that 72 per cent of them experience project&#13;<br \/>\ndelays always or often, 70 per cent experience scope creep always or often, and&#13;<br \/>\n73 per cent of projects ended over budget. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> The first three courses now available are:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b> Built&#13;<br \/>\n     Environment Project Communication Pro <\/b>  \u2013 This&#13;<br \/>\n     micro-credential with a course focuses on the power of effective&#13;<br \/>\n     communication and how to improve this skill, specifically in a&#13;<br \/>\n     construction environment. <\/li>\n<p>&#13; <\/p>\n<li><b> Scope&#13;<br \/>\n     and Change Order Management in the Built Environment <\/b>  \u2013 This course focuses on project outcomes and understanding&#13;<br \/>\n     how technology can support scope development, management, and change order&#13;<br \/>\n     processes.  <\/li>\n<p>&#13; <\/p>\n<li><b> Interface&#13;<br \/>\n     Management in the Built Environment <\/b> \u2013 This&#13;<br \/>\n     course focuses on the effective management of communications,&#13;<br \/>\n     relationships, and deliverables among various stakeholders in large,&#13;<br \/>\n     complex projects.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nThe&#13;<br \/>\nremaining four courses will launch in 2022, along with the capstone exam that&#13;<br \/>\nwill award the CPBEP certification to professionals who pass the exam.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the new offering, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/certifications\/construction\">pmi.org\/certifications\/construction<\/a><u>.<\/u><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-11-15\/104714\/pmi-releases-new-construction-offering-to-address-industry-challenges-and-rapid-industrialisation-efforts\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 15 November 2021 &#8211; Project&#13; Management Institute (PMI), the world&#8217;s leading association for project&#13; professionals and changemakers, has launched Construction&#13; Professional in Built Environment Projects (CPBEP)\u2122, its first&#13; industry-specific solution tailored for construction professionals to address&#13; the challenges and opportunities facing construction professionals and&#13; organisations. \u00a0 As urban population centres &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18797"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
