Competence focus: Building your career roadmap

Aimed at early career project professionals, this session will talk through some of the fundamental competencies PMs could prioritise to be ready for the project profession of the future.

Linking to the APM Competence Framework, Sadie will provide an interactive, step-by-step toolkit to help project professionals set up for long term career success. 

We asked Sadie a few questions about their session:

Why do you think this topic is particularly relevant for project professionals?

Because learning about frameworks isn’t enough; project professionals need clear guidance, practical tools, and real-world insight to embed sustainability into everyday delivery.

What’s one key takeaway attendees will gain from your session?

An understanding of available frameworks and how APM resources can support their development and real-world impact.

What excites you most about attending/speaking at the APM Conference?

Engaging directly with project professionals and helping them connect the dots between sustainability, professional growth, and APM’s support.

If you had to describe your session in three words, what would they be?

Interactive. Insightful. Empowering.

What challenges would you like to help project professionals overcome from your session?

Confusion around sustainability in projects. I’ll help demystify the available frameworks and show how to apply them practically.

Why would your session benefit someone at the start of their project professional career?

It introduces the tools, resources, and mindset needed to build sustainable projects and a resilient, future-ready project management career with APM.
