: This is the human that checked it and approved it, and they are accHow did you find work after the course?
Lisa:ountable, and this is how it was created, then you’ll pass the audit. I Googled project management organisations and applied for junior level jobs online in the hope I would quickly be promoted up the ladder (because I didn’t have any project management experience before, so I couldn’t jump into a higher-level role). I contacted recruiters who specialized in this industry and subscribed to industry reports, so I could stay up to date and learn new names of companies out there that may be hiring.00:32:17 Emanuela Giangregorio
Was job-hunting easier after the course?: So that’s really how I want you to think about it. And it’s more than that as well, because remember I said it’s ethical, efficient, and effective use.
Lisa:00:32:23 Emanuela Giangregorio Yes. It gave me the confidence to send my CV out with descriptions of some small-scale project management work I had done, plus the qualification to back it up which I didn’t have previously.: So those four pillars that we had around the capability maturity model, AI strategy and governance is, there guidance to project teams regarding how they need to govern AI in projects? So have they been practically given some sort of framework and guidance in terms of how to do that and the rules around that, what they can and cannot do? And I think this comment in the chat box is saying pretty much that.
What job interviews did you get after the course?00:32:46 Emanuela Giangregorio
Lisa:: Then the next pillar was about AI tools and infrastructure. So the tools now are becoming more agentic because as I said, some of these can interface with other parts of the organisation’s infrastructure. I was very fortunate and got my current job very quickly, within about 2 weeks of looking. This was the only interview I attended.00:32:58 Emanuela Giangregorio
Did you feel well-prepared for job interviews?: So is that done in a well-managed and secure way?
Lisa:00:33:01 Emanuela Giangregorio Yes, this was a factor of my own dedication but the confidence that extra qualification gave me.: And I would say from what I’ve seen, most often that security is taken very seriously and most often that’s done really well.
Have you taken other courses since?00:33:07 Emanuela Giangregorio
Lisa: The third pillar was human capability. Something to do with people’s ability. And the comment about everyone’s getting GenAI training, fantastic.: No, but I intend to do the 00:33:16 Emanuela Giangregorio PRINCE2 Practitioner: So people know how to use the tools, but they also understand the core values in terms of accountability. eventually.00:33:22 Emanuela Giangregorio
What are your future career plans?: So always a human accountable.
I intend on staying in my current role for many years and haven’t thought past then. The business continues to grow, and it means more and more projects for me to manage to keep the business up to date with regulation, IT infrastructure, and anything else to keep us efficient.00:33:24 Emanuela Giangregorio
Would you recommend PRINCE2 to others?: Sensibility, so knowing what you’re looking at and being able to check it. Collaborating well with tools, in other words, knowing how to work with the tools well. And then the curiosity, which is about finding new use cases and continuous improvement.
Lisa:00:33:38 Emanuela Giangregorio Yes. It’s about having a project management qualification on your CV to get you through the door. You may already have some small-scale project management experience, but the PRINCE2 qualification then gives you the confidence to use the right terminology in interviews to describe your experience. It will also make you feel more comfortable when talking to colleagues once you have the job.: So that’s that part.
