Driving change starts with the right expertise.
Steven Linenberger, Jeff Pearson, and Bree Thompson are the newest at Public Knowledge® to attain the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification. In doing so, they further our goal to help our clients achieve their goals by having the skills needed to solve complex problems through innovative methodologies.
A Testament to True Project Management Skills
Becoming PMP® certified is more than the ability to memorize the material. It is a measurement of how someone can combine the information from the certification and apply it through the lens of their existing project management experience.
Combining Management and Leadership
Being an effective management consultant and project manager lies in the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and adopt the most effective method to get to the desired outcome. This takes skill, experience, and self-awareness.
“This certification covers the entire project management process. There are a number of aspects that I will bring to the projects I am involved in. I really appreciated the servant-leader approach to project management and leadership.”
Jeff Pearson, Management Consultatnt
