Project managers are in high demand and organisations are willing to play for qualified talent. In today's fast-paced business world, having a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification comes with significant advantages over other job candidates. Across Asia Pacific, employees who hold Project Management Professional (PMP) certification have reported earning 13% higher median salaries than those without, with portfolio managers and project management consultants in Singapore being in the top ten of the highest paid globally. This makes expertise and certification in the field of project management particularly important.
Having worked for many years in the construction industry, PMI's Ben Breen, Managing Director for Asia Pacific and Global Head of Construction, shares his insights on why certifications are becoming increasingly important and can be a key differentiator in one's career.

An agile mindset provides project managers with the key trait to handle unexpected circumstances and make these important and quick decisions.
