Editor's Notes

- Who are we? A growing company delivering innovative technology and solutions focused on safeguarding critical capabilities and transformation in frontline services, our work in the United Kingdom includes addressing some of the most complex problems in defence, healthcare, government, safety and security, and transportation.

- The importance of PM professionalism within Leidos
- Leidos values are closely aligned to APM’s FIVE dimensions
- Our expectations from our Programmes Managers
- A defined career path was developed for project professionals within Leidos UK using standards for progression linked to recognised qualifications. Existing skills, knowledge and experience were re-used to develop a P3M capability that supported successful customer relationships, first-class delivery and industry standing. Employees were developed in the P3M profession through a pathway using industry standard approaches. Success is recognised and, where appropriate, rewarded to our employees.
- We have created a Leidos UK P3M Steering Group to keep a focus on how we continuously improve our capability and competency across the P3M profession. The certification process was established to a benchmark for project professionals in Leidos UK and recognise achievement. It is designed to motivate self-development and most crucially, will help identify the right people for the right roles. At the heart of the capability development and the certification process is the use of a body of knowledge from the Association of Project Management (APM) which is now embedded into our talent development and acquisition model for project and programme managers. Success is recognised and, where appropriate, rewarded.
