axelos is responsible for developing, enhancing and promoting a number of best practice methodologies used globally by professionals working primarily in project, programme and portfolio management, it service management and cyber resilience .
there are several portfolio management - related publications currently in use worldwide, but axelos' s new white paper focuses on the two main global publications from axelos and pmi. our white paper, by portfolio management expert craig kilford, offers an objective overview of both standards and highlights the key differences and similarities of both, providing a sense of their value to practitioners on a personal and organizational level .
the level of consultation and transparency so far is encouraging. there' s a real prospect of a new broom and fresh energy. axelos are taking in a lot of views from across the community .
a new ceo, peter hepworth, has been appointed and some cabinet office staff have transferred to axelos. axelos has set up a twitter account and a google + page and is actively seeking the views from all interest groups through these channels - so now is your chance! two workshops were held in london for project, programme and portfolio (ppm) stakeholders as well as those interested in it service management (itsm) .
to be fair to axelos on this point: they would point out that they are a new company which is being built afresh. peter hepworth, their ceo, and most of their personnel will not come from capita

from 1st january axelos will own 51% of the intellectual property in the best practice portfolio. what they don' t have are the processes, presence or technology to run thousands of exams every week across the globe. that belongs to apmg. capita tried to buy apmg but were turned down. after initially saying that they would be an exam institute axelos seem to have accepted that the process is complex and put the job out to tender among existing eis. this is a sensible move .

is this just a change of channel of publication? or will axelos undercut the vibrant ‘ecosystem’ that apmg has carefully cultivated since its inception 13 years ago? apmg currently accredits the very succesful prince2, itil, msp and agile project management practitioner examinations amonst many others .
definitely. axelos is simply a change to who owns and administers prince2. it' s back end stuff. in the uk, major organizations rely on the methodology and that is not going to change. it' s still the most important qualification for uk project managers

this all presents many risk and challenges for the association for project management. they seem to have been treading water a bit since the apm chartered status stalled. thinking through how they work with or compete with axelos must be a priority. as they say we live in interesting times ?
78% of survey respondents saw the it infrastructure library (itil) growing into a global it service management standard. i heard complimentary comments about itil in the us from the ndia in washington dc last week – there is no us equivalent – this will be axelos’s main target i believe .
axelos are part of a major commercial organization; capita. they have a clear mandate to develop best practice worldwide. as this happens the value of your qualifications will increase. hm government never did anything to promote best practice internationally - it was all done by atos, like advantage learning, and apmg .
there' s been a lot of talk about using social media, collaborative working and engagement with the community and capita ceo, paul pindar, said that
we have detailed plans in place
during the official announcement. as axelos moves from listening to doing, these should emerge in the run up to 1st january .
the mop ® certification scheme has been developed to offer two levels of certification, foundation and practitioner. axelos has accredited peoplecert as our examination institute (ei) who then accredits a network of accredited training organizations (atos), including their trainers and course material. the atos and accredited trainers offer mop training courses and examinations .
we are always sceptical when hearing promises of shiny technology that will change the world. the initial announcements were full of it. if axelos are to extend the global acceptance of best practice they need to do it in countries which often lack reliable electricity, never mind broadband. low tech versions that increase the reach of the brand are perfectly acceptable. in our opinion, the first priority is a smooth transition
continued development of the standards and qualifications relies on the good will and support a a active but dedicated bunch of practitioners, who offer their author services often at low cost. if axelos has huge commercial pressure to deliver revenue, will it have to goodwill of the authors and also the resources to continue developing the best practice. for one thing is sure best practice has a shelf life, and needs to be continuously refreshes .
capita paid £10 million up front and will pay a further £9. 4 million per year in preferred payments to hm government. the aim is to triple revenues in the next 10 years and produce a profit for the taxpayer of £500 million in that time by exploiting new markets. the government makes £10 million a year from the current arrangements with apmg, so the axelos jv is, at worst, a no - lose contract .
axelos’ certifications are globally recognized and highly sought after by potential employers. they can help you to quickly improve your skills and capabilities across a number of key business disciplines, in turn driving strong business performance. our well - known and highly regarded qualifications include itil ® for it service management, prince2 ® 2017 and prince2 ® 2009 for project management, resilia ® for cyber resilience and msp ® for programme management. our portfolio also includes certifications in portfolio, risk and value management .
in time, but there won' t be a prince3, ever. prince2 was the generic version of prince, which was it specific. there will be updates in the light of innovations and best practices. nothing has been said about the next update to prince2, which was last revised in 2009. the 2009 edition of prince2 was a good one and there' s no pressure for change at the moment. axelos first job is to run things smoothly, then think about improving them .
you are correct in saying that itil is service and prince2 / msp and agile pm exams are about project. axelos need to realise that these are two different target groups – the smart thing to do is ensure that prince2 / msp projects / programmes plan carefully for handover outputs into live service, and that itil service managers are prepared to take on those outputs. msp (managing successful programmes) places great emphasis on planning to measure benefits in live service, even for many years after ‘go - live’ .
and the numbers don' t add up. capita have said that axelos will triple revenues in 10 years. this represents 12% year on year growth. the government said that the deal would
boost returns for taxpayers by £500 million over 10 years
. if that' s £500 million profit for the government' s 49% shareholding there has to be £1 billion in total profit. it' s optimistic to say the least. neither statement is attributed and no - one seems to know how the figures are calculated .
the support of ato ecosystem has always been vital to the growth and promotion of the best practice qualification, read more about brian wernham’s views on axelos. however the acquisition of the certification rights by capita put the other training providers in a difficult position. this is because capita also deliver training across the public sector via civil service learning. in effect capita are both a major training provider and also the accrediting body. in the past the apm group were very careful to avoid this conflict of interest. if the accredited training providers feel they are operating at a disadvantage then the overall market may suffer and the energy generated from a competitive market place may fall way .
it’s unclear if axelos wish to offer their own on - line training products. it certainly has the leadership to make this happen. their strategy is to exploit “the relational aspect of play linking human activity with the activity of the world”, in other words, ‘gamifying’ learning so that it sinks into people’s brains faster. ”. this raises two questions, what about the likes of ilx and qa who have invested years in developing this material. and second and most importantly what about the development of behavioral change, not doubt generic knowledge can be delivered through games, but what developing the competence to deliver complex and challenging projects. we all know good training is industry specific and relevant to the client organisation. will we really develop a game for each sector ?

they will be ‘gamifying’ the learning of good practice. their theory is that nintendo / playstation is more fun than sitting though a powerpoint presentation by a suit – so capita has stumped up the £10m upfront licence fee to buy the materials (or at least a long licence for publishing rights) to turn the boring manuals into ‘interactive exploration facilities’ available by subscription .
the existing international ‘ecosystem’ of training providers, with apmg as a major accrediting body since 2000, involves smes to a great extent. what will the impact of the capita behemoth have on these fleet - of - foot minnows ?
this sort of shakeup has happened before. have a look at this very old blog (undated but i beleiev from jan 27 2007) about the moving of itil over to apmg click here for the blog (by the way i passed my itil manager’s certificate in 1996 when the bcs’s iseb was running it…
so it’s alright to listen to users and practitioners, and treat them as customers rather than being a leader and saying this is the way to go …. playstation, nintendo! !! 78% of users may look at linked in but all they do is have a nose around at peers or update their cv, nothing more! !! ! oh, and stick up a pay wall – isn’t that a good way to be a thought leader on best practice, and to penailse a lot of eople who won’t be able to access this as company servers will deny access …………. .
what concerns me brian is that a non - public sector body is doing this for commercial reasons. capita may benefit, but also lose credibility if / as they continue to fail in project / programme delivery. as well, could this be seen as a ‘monopoly’ or would other methodologies now be created to counter their offering – eroding the value of these qualifications (validity, reliability etc)? frankly, just because they create an e - learning ‘toy’ doesn’t increase its value. proof and pudding come to mind – as does the question – ‘so what’ !
i thought itil was about managing a service, and the role of a service and project manager was / is significantly different – as it way performance can be measured. is it a good idea to conflate these ?
i agree with you this could be a huge disaster for the best practice eco - system. the apm group understood the symbiotic relationship because its roots as the training arm of the apm .
capita paid £10m up front and then another £9. 5m each year. they also have a big hand in the civil service learning contract. we have just seen maven give up the battle, so that is one of the key players in your eco - system who have gone. i don’t think they will be the last .

while the number of people taking best practice qualification continues to grow, especially outside the uk, the family of course still have a strong hold in the uk public sector and it’s suppliers. as the uk public sector continues to cut expenditure this demand for training could well fall. this would make it increasingly difficult to earn the revenue needed to make the payments to the government .

every 4 or 5 years the best practice contract comes up for renewal. the winner becomes the organization to administer prince2, msp and the' swirl' products including p3o and mop. the winner has always been apmg. this time, the government tender said that the winner would form a joint venture with hm government and would need to put money into the jv from the start .
it' s early days yet and nothing is going to change before 1st january. advantage learning can see wins, worries and woes
no, don' t let it lapse off your cv. prince2 is not going anywhere .
for the past 2 or 3 years, apmg have been coming out with some very interesting products of their own. for them, necessity has been the mother of invention and advantage learning will be offering courses in better business cases and managing benefits. these are really useful qualifications which complement prince2 and the other best practice products
if i was a betting man, i would have laid money on apmg winning the bid, again. they have run prince2 forever and have the global offices and experience to keep doing so. they probably had the best technical bid. so i think the short answer is money. capita are a ftse 100 company with revenues of £3 billion and could probably afford to outbid the others. it is a tribute to the uk civil service that, in itil, prince2 and the others, they have created standards which the rest of the world relies on. so there was a great asset waiting to be monetized .

the management of portfolios (mop) guidance has been developed to provide senior executives and decision makers with an overview of portfolio management - the principles upon which it is based, some of the techniques used, and how to get started and sustain progress .
mop is closely aligned to the programme and project management methodologies outlined in msp® and prince2®, but focuses on the management of the change that is delivered by formalized project and programme management, rather than the individual initiatives .
the guidance addresses the key concepts of portfolio management, its benefits to an organization and how it fits in with current business processes .
in 2012, ons recognized that a portfolio management approach to business change was required, to prioritize investments which would contribute most to strategy in the face of rapidly evolving technology and an increasingly complex society .
i’m very impressed with the approach ons is taking in developing its portfolio management strategy and processes. i endorse the direction which is being taken, which is consistent with the work in which mpa is engaged in developing a government - wide portfolio of major projects .
the mop certifications are aimed at those involved in a range of formal and informal portfolio management roles encompassing investment decision making, project and programme delivery, and benefits realization .
providing clear step - by - step guidance on applying mop this manual also supports the mop certifications .

i found the portfolio definition cycle of particular help as we, as an organisation, are only now starting to implement portfolio management across a diverse group of previously separate operating companies. this guide provided me with a framework to better understand the steps that i needed to take and to also explain to others what portfolio management was about and what we should be working towards. this is the first year we' ve attempted to prioritise and balance our portfolio and this was done based on the guidance in this guide. both myself and my organisation have a long way to go before we will have implemented portfolio management effectively however we are now at least making strides forwards. the guide provided me with the knowledge and confidence to present to others on the leadership team, other teams and my own project managers about what portfolio management is and my vision for the future of our department .
portfolio management can help organizations successfully deliver change and achieve their strategic objectives in today' s accelerated on - demand world .
the paper will be of interest to anyone involved in working on projects, programmes, portfolios or any form of project, programme or portfolio management office (pmo) as, whether this is recognized by their orgnization or not, they are already part of a portfolio management environment .
