    Insights & Best Practices

    PMI's Best Practices for Differentiation and Engagement in Digital Badging

    • Think Strategically: Ensure that badging is used to drive master brand value. At PMI, we are using badging across all parts of our value chain including, Certification, Learning, Community, Sales Channels, and other activity.
    • Utilize Different Badge Designs: Differentiation in the look and feel of badges to denote the specific award is essential. Choosing different shapes, colors, and even words to differentiate learning badges from certification badges helps users and consumers better understand our products and services while acknowledging individual achievements.
    • Develop Rich Metadata: Include good descriptor language in badges to align with the skills marketplace. This provides unique insights to employers and also aspiring individuals who will seek to get the badge. 
    • Prioritize User Experience: User experience design is essential to increasing badge claims. Optimizing badge acceptance and publishes comes when the user experience is seamless and “makes it easy” to claim and use a badge.

    Looking Ahead

    Exciting Badge Refresh to Align with PMI's New Brand

    PMI has recently updated all of their digital badges to align with the refreshed brand. This refresh includes greater differentiation among the badges. Likewise, with recent acquisitions, we have new badge sets that are aligned with the PMO Global Alliance and Cognilytica product lines.
