Due to an increasing globalization of businesses, today’s
managers often deal with projects of transnational dimension in
which they are required to work with partners from different
countries and cultures in an efficiently manner. Many of the
international projects are implemented with the support of
public funding bodies that expect and demand for a
professional project management for using the available funds.
Therefore, having the necessary competences and skills is of
fundamental importance for a high-performance and reaching
outstanding results.

The European Commission puts great emphasis on better
efficiency in European funds management and creation of a
homogeneous structure for the majority of projects. It
underlines the necessity of improving the level of
professionalism in project management, as there is a lack of
appropriate skills in project management. In fact, there has
been an increasing demand for new qualifications for managing
innovative projects carried out in international environments.

Continuous learning can definitely contribute for helping project
managers developing and improving their competences and
skills, by providing them knowledge about new techniques and
methods that can support them aligning the team to the vision
of the project and implementing successfully the various
activities. However, before deciding on the educational/training
programmes to be considered by project managers, it is
essential to identify those competences that are the most
relevant for this profession.

ComPM Project
To achieve its objectives, ComPM will adjust, refine and adapt the results of
two previous Leonardo da Vinci projects:
• ASTRA (2004-2007): a project dedicated to the preparation of two
European methods of the managerial competence assessment of
entrepreneurs and managers. The ICT tool developed in this project is
innovative in the sense that there is a direct link between managerial
competence assessment and a training plan tailored up to the
needs of the tested individual.
• EPMT (2005-2007): a project devoted to the development of a
train−the−trainer program and training materials focusing on
developing, improving or enhancing relevant skills of project
managers. This program followed a training methodology based on a
ration between the practice and theory of 80 to 20.

Several activities have been planned to take place during the project, the
main ones mentioned below:
• Defining the Competence profile of EU Project Managers: based on
relevant literature sources and research, a competence profile for project
manager will be defined, illustrating the necessary skills on four levels:
individual, social, professional and meta-level.
• Adaptation of the ICT Tool for Competence Measurement: the ICT
tool will be adjusted and refined according to the partners national
realities. This tool will be tested, both in English and national languages,
by the project partners and also by experts in project management.
• Preparation of the Training Curriculum for the EU funded project
managers based on the competencies: based on the competence
profile of EU Project Managers, a curriculum will be defined and adapted
to each stage of the project implementation highlighting the required
competencies..

ComPM Survey
A consultation was carried out among project managers to find out which
competences are considered essential to become an efficient project
manager.
The survey lead project managers answering a self-evaluation
questionnaire concerning individual, social, professional and meta-level
competencies usually associated to someone that manages projects.
The results of this survey were achieved through a standardization
procedure, statistical and psychometrical analysis of the collected
questionnaires, and compiled into a Competence Profile of EU Project
Managers describing the top qualities a project manager must have.

• Individual competences (cognitive) comprise abilities to learn,
understand, and memorize. Their distinct features include cognitive
openness, interest in world, fresh look. Furthermore it is characterized
by ability to independent thinking and low vulnerability to being
influenced by others.
• Social competences are connected with interpersonal contacts. They
involve not only easiness in establishing and maintaining contacts, but
also empathy, ability to co-operate when achieving common goals,
ability to overcome differences in opinions and businesses, solving
conflicts.
• Professional competences (functional) concern effective functioning
of an individual at work, practising a given profession or working on a
given post. In every of these situations there can be developed specific
set of competences which are necessary or useful in independent and
effective work.
• Metacompetences from one side are connected with ability to learn
and give a thought, but from the other side they concern ability to cope
in circumstances of uncertainty.

ComPM Survey | Methodology
Selected statements were evaluated against its clearness on the scale from
1 - totally unclear to 7 - totally clear, by experienced project managers, who
also made suggestions about possible changes.
Then, five psychologists and trainers examined the compatibility between
the definition of each competence and the statements, selecting those
statements that had higher score on clearness.
The final instrument was made available to project managers through an
online platform, which they had access through a dedicated link, and on
which they would have to assess their competences referring to 372
statements in a scale of 0-100.
The target-group of this consultation comprised managers in charge of the
following types of projects: international projects, investment projects,
research projects and soft projects (e.g. training projects).
The survey was carried out among managers in Poland, Belgium, Slovenia,
Italy and Portugal, between September and December 2012.

ComPM Survey | Methodology
Most respondents managed the soft projects (176 people) and international
projects (154 people). The initial group consisted of 89 project managers
and 86 managers of research projects.
From the pool 19 cases were removed due to incomplete data in the
questionnaire (5 from Italy, 5 from Poland, 3 from Portugal and 6 from
Slovenia). Following Thurstone and Chave'a, the data of which more than
80% of the positions indicated the same answer was removed, as if a
person marks the same answer (response categories) for the majority of
the questions, the answers are considered unreliable. Thus, another 43
cases were removed (in which the most common answer was marked 50 or
100), namely 6 from Belgium, 6 from Italy, 21 from Poland, 2 from Portugal
and 8 from Slovenia. Finally, the results of the survey were retrieved from
444 reliable questionnaires.
After performing a statistical and psychometrical analysis of the collected
questionnaires, a final set of 70 statements related to 15 competencies
were achieved, focusing on Individual (cognitive), Social, and Professional
competences.

In addition, standards were prepared on a scale stents (1-10) for referring
to the level of project managers in each competence, where individual
results are:
• 1-4 stent - a low level of competence;
• 5-6 stent - the average level of competence;
• 7-10 stent - a high level of competence.
A sten score indicates an individual's approximate position (as a range of
values) with respect to the population of values (project managers).
Differences among countries of origin of project managers were taken into
consideration for the establishment of norms and standards for each
country. Results established the mediana and the sten-standard for each of
the final 15 competences resulting for the survey, for all participating
countries in the project. This has been made taken into consideration the
Europe’s norms and standards.

In addition, a tailored Training Curriculum for project managers has been
defined by the consortium, based on the competence profile described
above, which includes the following topics:
• Project Framework,
• Project Planning,
• Financial Management,
• Project Marketing and Communication,
• Project Monitoring and Evaluation,
• Supporting Skills.

This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained herein. 3 Due to an increasing globalization of businesses, today’s managers often deal with projects of transnational dimension in which they are required to work with partners from different countries and cultures in an efficiently manner. Many of the international projects are implemented with the support of public funding bodies that expect and demand for a professional project management for using the available funds. Therefore, having the necessary competences and skills is of fundamental importance for a high-performance and reaching outstanding results.

Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 Rationale This project has been funded with the support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained herein. 4 The European Commission puts great emphasis on better efficiency in European funds management and creation of a homogeneous structure for the majority of projects. It underlines the necessity of improving the level of professionalism in project management, as there is a lack of appropriate skills in project management. In fact, there has been an increasing demand for new qualifications for managing innovative projects carried out in international environments.

This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained herein. 5 Continuous learning can definitely contribute for helping project managers developing and improving their competences and skills, by providing them knowledge about new techniques and methods that can support them aligning the team to the vision of the project and implementing successfully the various activities. However, before deciding on the educational/training programmes to be considered by project managers, it is essential to identify those competences that are the most relevant for this profession.

Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 ComPM Survey A consultation was carried out among project managers to find out which competences are considered essential to become an efficient project manager. The survey lead project managers answering a self-evaluation questionnaire concerning individual, social, professional and meta-level competencies usually associated to someone that manages projects. The results of this survey were achieved through a standardization procedure, statistical and psychometrical analysis of the collected questionnaires, and compiled into a Competence Profile of EU Project Managers describing the top qualities a project manager must have.

Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 ComPM Survey | Methodology • Individual competences (cognitive) comprise abilities to learn, understand, and memorize. Their distinct features include cognitive openness, interest in world, fresh look. Furthermore it is characterized by ability to independent thinking and low vulnerability to being influenced by others. • Social competences are connected with interpersonal contacts. They involve not only easiness in establishing and maintaining contacts, but also empathy, ability to co-operate when achieving common goals, ability to overcome differences in opinions and businesses, solving conflicts. • Professional competences (functional) concern effective functioning of an individual at work, practising a given profession or working on a given post. In every of these situations there can be developed specific set of competences which are necessary or useful in independent and effective work. • Metacompetences from one side are connected with ability to learn and give a thought, but from the other side they concern ability to cope in circumstances of uncertainty.

  • 15. Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 ComPM Survey | Methodology Selected statements were evaluated against its clearness on the scale from 1 - totally unclear to 7 - totally clear, by experienced project managers, who also made suggestions about possible changes. Then, five psychologists and trainers examined the compatibility between the definition of each competence and the statements, selecting those statements that had higher score on clearness. The final instrument was made available to project managers through an online platform, which they had access through a dedicated link, and on which they would have to assess their competences referring to 372 statements in a scale of 0-100. The target-group of this consultation comprised managers in charge of the following types of projects: international projects, investment projects, research projects and soft projects (e.g. training projects). The survey was carried out among managers in Poland, Belgium, Slovenia, Italy and Portugal, between September and December 2012.

Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 ComPM Survey | Methodology Most respondents managed the soft projects (176 people) and international projects (154 people). The initial group consisted of 89 project managers and 86 managers of research projects. From the pool 19 cases were removed due to incomplete data in the questionnaire (5 from Italy, 5 from Poland, 3 from Portugal and 6 from Slovenia). Following Thurstone and Chave'a, the data of which more than 80% of the positions indicated the same answer was removed, as if a person marks the same answer (response categories) for the majority of the questions, the answers are considered unreliable. Thus, another 43 cases were removed (in which the most common answer was marked 50 or 100), namely 6 from Belgium, 6 from Italy, 21 from Poland, 2 from Portugal and 8 from Slovenia. Finally, the results of the survey were retrieved from 444 reliable questionnaires. After performing a statistical and psychometrical analysis of the collected questionnaires, a final set of 70 statements related to 15 competencies were achieved, focusing on Individual (cognitive), Social, and Professional competences.

Background ComPM Project – An European Initiative to Improve Project Managers Competences ComPM Survey Outcomes and next steps Projeto nº 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19892 ComPM Survey | Results In addition, standards were prepared on a scale stents (1-10) for referring to the level of project managers in each competence, where individual results are: • 1-4 stent - a low level of competence; • 5-6 stent - the average level of competence; • 7-10 stent - a high level of competence. A sten score indicates an individual's approximate position (as a range of values) with respect to the population of values (project managers). Differences among countries of origin of project managers were taken into consideration for the establishment of norms and standards for each country. Results established the mediana and the sten-standard for each of the final 15 competences resulting for the survey, for all participating countries in the project. This has been made taken into consideration the Europe’s norms and standards. This project has been funded with the support from the European Commission.
