Use This Best-In-Class Resource to Develop Your PM Business Model
Are you interested in defining your personal project management brand? Are you thinking of becoming an independent consultant or joining a consulting firm? You will want to watch Ricardo Vargas’ video on developing your business model.
Admittedly, I am a fan of Ricardo and his contribution to the project management body of knowledge. The internet offers many resources for project managers, some better than others. Ricardo’s PMBOK® overviews and business model video are among the top resources available to you, and for free!
Ricardo, in his 23-minute video, provides you with a structure for which you can begin to develop your professional portfolio, your brand, and your strategy for expanding your project management horizons. Ricardo helps you define how you will…
Seek partners and resources to expand your network and business opportunities.
Define your unique value proposition to customers and how you will cultivate relationships.
Identify sources of revenue and costs associated with developing your project management consultancy.
Define your target market by listing companies, industries, and/or project types that you will seek.
True to his style, Ricardo also offers a free template that you can download and print at your local FedEx Office. Watch the video, download the tool, and conduct this exercise for yourself, or with a fellow project manager.
If you are not interested in becoming an independent consultant, or joining a firm, still try this exercise to help you identify your personal project management brand, strengths, and value propositions. You might just find other revenue streams you can pursue, or channels you can utilize to further your professional development.
