MoP®

MoP®

With portfolio management organisations can make decisions about implementing the right changes to business as usual via projects and programmes. Portfolio management approaches the management of change projects and programmes from a strategic viewpoint and is not concerned with the detailed management of these projects and programmes.

The MoP® (Management of Portfolios) guidance provides senior executives and practitioners responsible for planning and implementing change, a set of principles, techniques and practices to introduce or re-energise portfolio management.

MoP’s definition of portfolio management is: “A coordinated collection of strategic processes and decisions that together enable the most effective balance of organizational change and business as usual.” MoP® provides an overview of portfolio management, including the principles, techniques and practices alongside an organisation’s ‘business as usual' work.

MoP® helps organisations evaluate whether an investment is right for them and how it will contribute to their strategic objectives.

I recently passed the MoP® Foundation exam through PeopleCert and I have received my certificate. Is there a specific logo that I have rights to use in my communications?

Any individual who would like to include information on their MOP certification on a business card needs to take note of the following:
 
An AXELOS Trade Mark logo (e.g. the MoP® Swirl) cannot be used on business cards as they advertise a person/company and not the associated product.
 
An AXELOS word mark can (e.g. MoP®) be used on a business card as long as the correct symbology is used. For example:
Joe Bloggs
MoP® Accredited Trainer
 
Where practical (if it can be included legibly) the Trade Mark acknowledgement statement should also be shown. For example:
Joe Bloggs
MoP® Accredited Trainer
MoP® is a registered trade mark of AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.
