How did Ucmi get certified by LPI?
Ucmi had to go through an extensive review process to obtain this accreditation. Initially, a documented compilation of the strategic vision, indicators and future objectives was completed.
Subsequently, an interview was conducted with an external consultant, who reviewed a set of key performance indicators, such as the client’s value proposition, the method used to provide the learning, the evaluation metrics, the current Ucmi problems, etc. Finally, the report of the interview was sent to London to be evaluated by the accrediting members of LPI, who consider that the management of Ucmi is accepted and certified.
The learning philosophy is based on three fundamental pillars: development as an individual responsibility, leaders forming leaders. In addition to a learning model that combines significant relationships and traditional training to develop the ability to learn by doing and capitalize on the possibility of acquiring CMI knowledge.
Ucmi will continue to offer value to each collaborator by developing important skills in them through virtual, flexible, agile and comprehensive learning in the future, with the aim of becoming a regional benchmark for its efficient and thorough comprehensive learning processes.
