PMI presented a certification process that seeks to prepare leaders to lead projects such as intercity trains or green buildings

Projects in the construction industry have become more important and necessary every day. The world scenario shows that urbanization is increasing and, therefore, so is the demand for water, airports, roads, ports, electricity and communication networks.

In addition, climate change will be a crucial factor driving infrastructure development.

It is important to remember that both the United States and the European Union have committed to carbon neutrality by 2050, and China by 2060; which will require more efficient and environmentally sustainable constructions.

Given this situation, it is necessary to consider the urgent need to invest in the digitalization of construction projects and in the training of their leaders to design projects that contribute to achieving a more sustainable world.

In Mexico there are eight projects, over 1,000 million dollars, that lead the Government's infrastructure agenda; among which the Mexico-Toluca intercity train and the Mexico-Querétaro high-speed train stand out.

And as for green buildings in CDMX, some of these generate savings of up to 50% in energy and 60% in water, as well as an 80% reduction in waste generation.

The delivery of these projects has a direct correlation with the capacity and skill of the teams working on them.

Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize the evolution of the sector and take advantage of new methods, solutions and technologies such as topography, high-definition geolocation, 5G construction information modeling and the Internet of Things (IoT).

According to Ricardo Triana, general director of Latin America and global director of construction at the Project Management Institute (PMI), a point that cannot be ignored is that professionals with the appropriate skills are required to carry out such projects, but also to give way to a transformation of this industry.

In conclusion, technology is simply an enabler, in the end it is people and their skills that are key to improving project performance.

In this sense, PMI, the world's leading project management association, recognizes the substantial need for transformation in the construction industry and launches a Construction Professional in Built Environment Projects (CPBEP)™ certification process.
