Behavioral PM = Brain Science + Project Management
Transform your project management approach with science-based tools empowering you to lead teams more effectively, improve decision-making, and drive successful project execution.

BehavioralPM applies science-based tools to project management, helping you address challenges like poor communication, missed deadlines, and misaligned teams.
By understanding human behavior and decision-making, it helps you create a more efficient, collaborative, and successful project environment.

“I highly recommend this program for those who want to understand how the human brain supports. - and sometimes thwarts - the best laid plans! Discover how to adjust our methods of planning to take account of the way brains work. Leverage our natural tendencies instead of tripping over them. Project management processes are essential and have been well-established over the past 50+ years. Now it is time to adapt those techniques for who we as humans really are!”
Ruth (Insight Wizard) PearceThe NeuralPlan Certification course grabbed my interest immediately, simply because as a Project Professional, I understand the key aspect to project delivery is people. Through taking the course, it has allowed me not only to increase my own self-awareness through a reflective process of learning but to also understand why others behaviour differ in certain changing circumstances.
Dr Mark Reeson, NPPQAfter just completing this certification training and gaining a truly powerful insight into how to avoid common thinking gaps and ways to mitigate biases in planning and forecasting, I have to endorse this course. The science and studies are referenced throughout the training, bringing Project Management into the modern era of including people's behaviors, just like economics. Gain the insight to plan and forecast your projects and bring your PM skills to the next level. While I started this endeavor to boost my resume as I prepare to transition from the military, I found the training to not just expand and build upon my Project Management knowledge but also expand my knowledge in the world of behavioral sciences that go beyond just PM. The information was captivating and insightful not just into the inner working and thought processes of others but of myself. I am refreshed, relieved and more confident moving forward with the knowledge gained. Thank you Institute for Neuro & Behavioral Project Management!
Shane Kinman, NPPQI am very thankful for the NeuralPlan Certification course provided.The depth of knowledge and detailed breakdown of information demonstrated throughout the course was truly informative and has significantly increased my understanding of behavioral and neuroscience, and its impact on planning processes.I would highly recommend to others.
Daveed Pryor, NPPQAs a practitioner, I would have never gave any real thought to understanding the behavioral or cognitive aspects of project management, other than those associated with communication or relationship building. However, as a recent graduate of a doctoral program, I have learned a lot about evidence-based practices and decisions in business. In discussing this with mentors and colleagues, I was introduced to NeuralPlan and their mission to bridge the behavioral and cognitive with project management practices. During my doctoral studies, I became intrigued with what studies have found in project management in various aspects and learning about NeuralPlan highly intrigued me. I have just started the NPPQ course and I am already sucked in and I am excited to gain a deeper understanding and gain a new perspective on how project management practices can be viewed and improved!
Joshua Cunio, DBA-PMI now have project managers on my program raising risks in the risk log. We really shifted to ‘identifying risks is a good thing!’
