Aikona are proud to offer their continued support to the annual APM awards which have been recognising world class project and programme management for over 15 years.
For a number of years, we have been sponsoring the category of "Young Project Manager of the Year", which recognises rising talent - those individuals who despite being in the early stages of their project management careers are already demonstrating that they can make a difference to the project management profession and the companies and clients for whom they work.
The Young Project Manager of the Year award is open to project managers aged up to 30 (at the date of stage 1 submission) who are working on any project where their involvement has been greater than six months.
The category looks for an account of an outstanding rise to challenge, tenacity in the face of obstacles and flair in documenting their work as a project manager. Qualities not included in the APM Body of Knowledge, 5th edition but demonstrated by the entrant as essential in project management will be given credit.
Previous winners include:
2009 Michael Holme - MWH
2008 Iain Heath - Turner & Townsend
2007 Jimmy Zammar – Davis Langdon
2006 Helen Timperley - Westminster City Council
2005 Sandra Cummings - Faithful & Gould
Aikona will be at the forthcoming APM Conference, and will be demonstrating how we can support individuals and corporate organisations gain accreditation and drive project performance through assessment-led competence development programmes.
