Global Initiatives

The AIPM is involved in a number of initiatives aimed at achieving one of its goals to "progress the globalisation of project management". These initiatives include:

1. ensure AIPM representation on global working groups and Forums;
2. sign cooperative agreements with representative national project management institutes;
3. assist with the formation of representative national project management institutes in the Asia Pacific region;
4. liase with other international institutions to develop a process for reciprocity (of certification programs);
5. undertake joint projects with other peak project management institutes globally.

Global Working Groups

Global Working Groups have been formed in the following areas:

1. to develop a globally acceptable framework for recognition of certification programs;
2. to promote a global network of project management researchers.

Cooperative agreements

The AIPM currently has cooperative agreements with the following project management institutes:

• Association of Project Management (UK)
• International Project Management Association (IPMA) (an umbrella organisation of project management institutes in Europe)
• Japan Project Managers Forum (JPMF)
• Project Management Institute of South Africa (PMISA)
• Project Management Institute (USA)
• Society for Project Managers (Singapore)
• Indonesian Society of Project Management Professionals (IAMPI)
• China Association of International Engineering Consultants (CAIEC)
• Project Management Associates (India)
• Hong Kong Institute of Project Management      Signing of Cooperative Agreement between AIPM & HKIPM

The AIPM's global strategies are based on the underlying principle that the AIPM will not form Chapters of the AIPM off-shore. Instead, our strategy is to assist interested groups in countries in the Asia Pacific region to form their own national project management institutes.
