ICCPM Complex Project Leadership 360° Profile
ICCPM Complex Project Leadership 360° Profile
The Complex Project Leadership 360° Profile (CPL 360° Profile) is an objective way to evaluate a project leaders’ behaviour when navigating project complexity. It gathers feedback from key project stakeholders to develop a multi-perspective evaluation and understand how the person in focus works in volatility, uncertainty and ambiguity to achieve project outcomes.

Why is it needed?
When working in complex projects, project professionals need to think and behave differently. When this doesn’t happen, the negative impact to the project and the people around them can be significant.
An important aspect of improving complex project performance, is ensuring people with the right skills are leading the project. These behaviours and competencies are identified in the Complex Project Leadership Competency Standards.
The CPL 360° Profile helps to identify people with the right skills and behaviours, and to identify opportunities for professional growth in those who are emerging leaders. It provides important insights into how others experience us in the delivery of complex projects and helps illuminate when these views are different to how we see ourselves.
Who is it for?
The CPL 360° Profile is for all project professionals working in complex projects or aspiring to work in complex projects.
As complex projects are delivered by multi-disciplinary teams, it’s important that all these professionals can operate effectively in complexity.
How can it be used?
The CPL 360° Profile can be used in many ways:
- To evaluate an individual when considering their suitability for a role.
- As part of a professionalisation framework to identify areas for improvement.
- As part of an ICCPM CPL Certification to evaluate if a candidate demonstrates the required behaviour.
- Before and after participating in professionalisation activities (training, mentoring, on the job experience) to evaluate the impact.
