Abstract

Expenditure on project management education represents an investment for which there would be the expectation of a beneficial return to the investing organisation. However, corporate sponsorship for project management education programmes appears to have been to date a leap of faith. This paper presents the Return on Value (ROV) concept towards education and training evaluation, derived from a 4 years investigation into the effectiveness of a case study modular distance delivered Project Management Professional Development Programme (PMPDP).
