‘Great Mind’ credential for program manager April 18, 2009

Baek Kwang-gu Baek Kwang-gu, 40, a project manager at Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems Korea, has been included in a biographical reference directory publisher based in the United States. Baek is neither a doctor, a scholar nor a scientist, but he has made the list for The Great Minds of the 21st Century 2008-2009 published by the American Biographical Institute. The reason for his inclusion is he holds a credential called Program Management Professional issued by the Project Management Institute. PMI, based in the United States, is the world’s largest project management organization. As of April 2009, only 241 people hold the credential in the world and Baek is the first and the only Korean who holds it. Baek was also nominated as one of 2,000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century 2009-2010, according to International Biographical Centre, a biographical reference directory publisher based in Cambridge, England. The ABI and IBC are two of the most famous biographical dictionaries in the world. As a program manager, Baek deals with large-scale projects in the construction industry, aerospace and military development programs, public works construction projects, shipbuilding, and other areas. He is basically in charge of the whole project. Of the numerous large-scale projects he has handled, Baek said he cannot forget the moment when he earned high praise from Boeing for his involvement in AH-64D Apache helicopter in 2001. Korea was the first country in the world to produce an Apache outside of the Unites States. “A Boeing official said the Apache produced in Korea had a lower defect rate than the latest one produced in the U.S. at that time,” Baek said, adding that very few people are eligible for the PgMP credential. “You should have at least eight years’ experience in project and program management experience,” he said.
