We built Shell's global PM competence system.

Four thousand project professionals across Shell's worldwide organisation use it daily. We launched globally in January 2018 and the platform has run continuously since.

The Brief

One system. Every project professional. Every region.

Shell's project community runs into the thousands. It stretches across every part of the business, in every region Shell operates.

Shell needed one platform to host the competence frameworks they had built, run assessments against them, and feed evidence into formal accreditation. They chose us to build it. The brief covered design, implementation, testing, global launch and ongoing support.

Inside the System

From self-assessment to chartership-ready evidence.

The Outcome

Live globally since January 2018

The platform went live across Shell's global operation in January 2018. The Shell Project Academy runs on it. So does Shell's recognised route to APM Chartered Project Professional, the much shorter pathway we helped Shell secure with the APM.

We are still working with Shell. The platform has evolved alongside the Shell Project Academy as it has grown, and Shell remains one of our longest-standing clients.
