Leaders build resilient teams by creating a positive climate, developing cohesion, and providing purpose. Building resilient teams makes team learning possible. Team learning is the foundation of organizational learning and change.

Resilience-Building Leader Program developed the Building and Leading Resilient Teams curriculum that prepares people to take the RBLP, RBLP-C, and RBLP-T certification exams. The Building and Leading Resilient Teams curriculum is designed to “flip” the classroom. Outside the classroom, students complete reading assignments and answer reflection questions about their unique leader/follower experience. Inside the classroom, students participate in an instructor-led group discussion of the leader tasks and supporting concepts.

Because in any organization, getting the work done can be hard. Sometimes, it can be really hard. Resilient teams thrive in challenging environments because they can overcome adversity, and then adapt and grow together.

For decades, employers have relied on a variety of management certifications to ensure that employees understood the basics of project management, human resource management, and IT management. Resilience-Building Leader Program was founded in January 2018 by Dr. Gene Coughlin to fill a critical need for leader certifications in the training and education marketplace. We are the only nationally-recognized leader certification program.

Resilience-Building Leader Program (RBLP®) is the credentialing body for the Resilience-Building Leadership Professional® certifications. Their mission is to certify leaders to build and lead resilient teams, and my goal is to prepare you for that certification by giving you a proven leadership framework.

Project management is a powerful tool for addressing the complex needs of today’s organizations. Unlike narrowly focused fields – such as HR, marketing, finance or IT – project management brings together an array of skill sets spanning creative and critical thinking, leadership, risk, change and stakeholder management. Simply put, project management provides a structured yet flexible framework for tackling a diverse range of initiatives faster, better and in a cost-efficient manner. That is why project management is the most in-demand occupation in the world today.

We do not advocate the use of one specific methodology, as our experience in a wide range of global industries shows us that organizations inevitably develop and employ their own unique framework. ‘Paper PMs’ are good at the rote memorization of obscure formulas and highly complex process maps that bear only a passing resemblance to how projects are delivered in the real world. Using the proven good practices of PMBOK, PRINCE2, PM2, Agile, and other methods, we encourage our practitioners to think critically about what is ‘best’ practice for their own projects and operating environment.

Center for Project Innovation Certifications validate contemporary best practices in the discipline of project management. They equally respect both people and process, and do not preference any one standard, method or industry approach. Instead, our Certifications evidence a highly rigorous and transferable baseline of knowledge, skills and experience that can be applied in any project context. CPI Certification holders are creative and critical thinkers; they are the project leaders, problem solvers and innovators of the 21st century.

The knowledge standards for Certified Project Officer (CPO) are the same for Certified Project Officer (CPP) and Certified Project Master (CPM) – an examination of 25 hours of project management education. If you have the requisite experience and skills, you should consider skipping CPO and going straight to the higher-level Certification. Not only will you save yourself the CPO assessment fee; you will be retrospectively awarded CPO upon being admitted to the Center as a CPP or CPM.

The art of getting things done

Although all the information you share with us is managed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, when conducting your interview, please take every care to withhold confidential stakeholder or organizational information. If you have concerns about the impact this may have on your ability to demonstrate your competence, please raise this with your assessor at the earliest opportunity

A certification is an industry award that recognizes a person’s competence in a field at a certain point in time. A certifying body conducts standardized assessment against criteria that are defined by the profession, and some (such as the Center for Project Innovation) offer instructional resources as optional aid to candidates (OPEN is also free!). Although some require re-certification (re-assessment) every few years, many certifications are awarded without conditions. A motor vehicle driver’s license, for example, is a certification that needs occasional renewal, but rarely requires a complete re-assessment. The Center for Project Innovation is internationally accredited by the US government and its treaty partners as the official assessor and issuing authority for the Certified Project Officer, Professional, Master and Director certifications.

You can look-up our awardees via our public directory of certification holders. To protect the privacy of all certification holders, you can only search by certificate number. Note, too, that some certification holders may have opted to hide their details from the directory. Many awardees also include their certification on their LinkedIn profile. To test the verification process, enter the sample Certificate number: 34F8F98-34F1A09-7B668 Institute of Project Management certifications can also be verified this way

The Center for Project Innovation’s Certifications are unique in that candidates must: evidence contemporary and transferable project management knowledge without rote memorizing a rigid methodology provide verifiable evidence of their project experience, and demonstrate their skill at the appropriate level via a range of project media.
