Picturing the MPM-degree : implementing educational value through visual management
Could the crucial competences of a professional project leader be visually portrayed in an image? Why would one want to create such image? How would its visual dimensions be? These are the questions that constitute the essence of this research, due to the author’s interest to visually define the con...

Could the crucial competences of a professional project leader be visually portrayed in an image? Why would one want to create such image? How would its visual dimensions be? These are the questions that constitute the essence of this research, due to the author’s interest to visually define the content of her Master of Project Management (MPM) education at Reykjavik University, Iceland. In exploring the actual and perceived content of the MPM program and to answer the questions above, the author conducted a qualitative research. The objective was to literally picture the MPM-degree by defining the educational content and value, as experienced by its graduating students. By using the lenses of visual management, the collective knowledge of participants was mapped in a visual database. The hope is that the students will then be able to use this framework as to revisit their training and show others what they have mastered. The paper, hence, proposes diagrams to create an illustration of the MPM-degree. |
