IPMA products have evolved during the last few years to move the project man- agement profession forward. The original version 4.0 of the IPMA Competence Baseline for Individuals (IPMA ICB"), launched in 2015, was followed by the Development of the IPMA Project Excellence Baseline (ICB PEB) and by an update of the IPMA Competence Baseline for Organisations (IPMA OCB"), both in 2016.

IPMA ICB is a cornerstone in the development of a mature set of competences for all individuals working in the domains of project management, rogramme management and portfolio management. Individuals need to be more roficient in a wide area of competences and deliver in a timely manner in an ncreasingly complex environment.

But individuals, teams and organisations need to be prepared. This reparation in project, programme and portfolio management is usually one through consulting, coaching and training (CCT). Individuals, teams and whole organisations benefit from these services, significantly enhancing their ompetences.

The IPMA Individual Competence Baseline Reference Guide for Consultants, oaches and Trainers (IPMA ICB4CCT) is the first standard that describes a whole et of competences required to prepare individuals, teams and organisations improve performance. The standard describes a set of common competence lements (CEs) for all three domains (consulting, coaching and training), and distinct set of competences for each. These competences address the cus- omer's needs and their expectations of the specific type of work. Consulting the dividual is expected to deliver solutions, while the coach is expected to guide the ient in a self-discovery process. In training, tools and techniques are provided to ustomers, rather than specific solutions.

MA ICB4CCT is organised in three competence areas: – People.
