Specialized professional certifications benefit practitioners and employers through application of good practices and specific bodies of knowledge – ASQ offers members 19 quality certifications.

In this session, consideration will be given to value added by professional certification in general and risk certifications in particular. There is knowledge gained through education, skill gained through experience, and evolution gained through membership in professional organizations involving collaboration with your peers.  What better way to improve the quality of the practice than continuous improvement and life-long learning?  These are more than catch phrases. How many frameworks do we need?  Which life cycles apply? What are the appropriate certifications? What are the criteria and qualifications for obtaining these certifications? To address these questions, we will take a glimpse at two of the many risk management frameworks and how they may intersect or overlap. We will provide an introductory compare and contrast of the National Institute of Standards and Technology approach and the Program Management Institute (PMI). Where do these fit in the life cycle of our activities? How do these fit in your personal and organizational goals?

 Only personal opinions are expressed.
