Initial Situation
A world-known actor in the pharma-industry with the headquarter in Switzerland, was facing some challenges in winning a contract, because the project manager they have chosen for that project, was not in the possession of the internationally recognized certification Project Management Professional (PMP®). Although she had over 10 years of experience, for their client, the certification was the guarantee of having a skilled and efficient project manager leading the project. Her line manager and the HR director decided to approve and finance the certification process and asked her to find a training institution which would be able to give her the most appropriate training, lead her to successfully passing the exam and ultimately obtaining the certification.
The specific requirements were:
Uncomplicated access to training material
