A paper from the 2005 Built Environment Education Conference.
This paper presents a research-based self-learning model to ensure participants addressing and meeting project challenges with their inherent professional and managerial skills. Flexible delivery and self-learning mechanisms have proven to be one of the best learning approaches among professional project managers within dynamic corporations. The model putting forward in this paper has been developed for project management education at a higher level than commonly available. Progressive learning and competency development for effective utilization of project management knowledge and methodologies has been redesigned to match the needs of the future. A research--based team-building coupling with peer-assessing and self-learning exercises has facilitated such development within a controlled learning process. This distinct learning mechanism aims to educate professional project managers at a superior level across various project management disciplines whilst referencing to the global competency frameworks from major professional bodies.
