Project Business Management. Worldwide.

Launch of the Project Business Management initiative:

Projects don’t go wrong, they START wrong. Let’s fix that.
Who we are
We are an association of practitioners. We come from different project industries, different organizations, different functions, and different countries.
We believe that the way Project Business is conducted today can be improved: too many B2B projects fail in one way or another. The roots of these failures are always in the Development Phase — before any contracts are signed.
We have one common purpose: to re‑think and re‑define how we procure, sell, and develop successful B2B projects in the 21st century.
A cross‑industry professional community
PBMA unites professionals from IT, Telecom, Automation, Energy, Infrastructure, Construction, Nuclear and many other sectors.
Our members represent diverse organizations, expertise levels and project environments.
Our Objectives
- To promote and develop the discipline of Project Business Management (PBM)
- To promote and propagate sound managerial, technical and commercial practices relating to the Project Business Management profession with the view of enhancing the quality of professional functions undertaken by its members.
- To stipulate training and experience requirements which its members may accept as qualifications demonstrating adequate project business management competency and to examine and certify suitable individuals of the same.
Our Values
Project Business & PBM
➡️ PROJECT BUSINESS is about selling & procuring systems, technical solutions, complex products, and services in industries such as #IT, #Telecom, #Automation, #Transportation, #Energy, #Construction, and many others. Business is made through Projects, for both clients and suppliers.
➡️ PROJECT BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (PBM) is the management discipline enabling Clients and Suppliers to create the right foundation in their B2B project relationships. And succeed in their projects. Together!
PBM acts as a common language across functions.
By overlaying existing disciplines, it provides a meta-language for developing projects — the language of the project itself.
