As I sit in Savoy house enjoying a rather nice breakfast and the view over the Thames prior to attending today's Exec Meeting I muse over the question above.  Over the last couple of months I have been tidying up my professional accreditations with various Institutions and have come to this long awaited rhetorical question.  In the field of Project Management which of the two organisations above should I join.  What are the benefits (and negatives) of joining either body.  Do we as members of IET have a formal stance relative to this?  What is the Recognition of each within (i) The UK, and (ii) International?  How do these bodies align to Cost Engineering Bodies?


In posing this question I hope it will trigger some discussion from other members that will both inform the reader and also aid me in making my own decision.  

ALL RESPSONSES TO THIS DISCUSSION STRING WILL BE TAKEN AS AN EXPRESSION OF PERSONAL OPINION AND NOT ATTRIBUTED TO IET POLICY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED AS SUCH


I hope the readers of this post feel that they can respond and maybe an informative discussion may ensue


Regards


Louis

    A fantastically timed question especially now the APM has gained Royal Charter, after the PMI failed in its attempts to block this from happening. I can only see positives with the professionalisation of project management and the APM has a legal requirement now to do so. I chose the APM way back in 2004 because their methodologies made sense to me, being less prescriptive and considering the wider stakeholder group, benefits and systems thinking. PMI currently has a wider reach and is more commonly known. It's a matter of personal preference and depends where you see the best personal fit.
