Ericsson chooses ESI to develop advanced Project Management training programme

Tuesday, 21 June 2005

Ericsson has teamed up with ESI International to develop an advanced project management curriculum that will support Ericsson and reinforce the project management culture within the group.

This is partly the result of recent developments in the market place where rapid changes within the Telecommunications business have made Ericsson review the way they run their projects and deliver their solutions both internally and for their clients.

Ericsson believes that building on their current project management capabilities will be a strong differentiator in this fast moving market.

ESI International was chosen for its world-wide presence, its expertise at establishing large scale integrated programmes of onsite and public training courses aligned to the PMI, as well as its ability to provide training locally to support Ericsson's initiative across 140 countries.

ESI International is now Ericsson's global preferred project management training partner.
