What key project management competencies are most valuable to hiring managers and companies today?

It always depends on the job description and resources needed.

• Roles and responsibilities defining the positions, skills, and competencies that the project demands;

• Project organization charts indicating the number of people needed for the project; and

• Staffing management plan delineating the time periods each project team member will be needed and other information important to engage the project team.

today demand is there for expert in core field ,companies really looking into qualifications and repute of organization you work rather than nos of years you added to ur profile and as far as PM consultants cvs were mostly reviwiewed for exact similar job history if any

AGREED WITH BRO ARINJAY......... DEPENDS ON INDUSTRY .... JOB REQUIREMENT ... RESOURCES ........ PROJECT SIZE ..... NO. OF HUMAN RESOURCE ETC

Agree with Mr,: Zahar

I think there is an issue with the question itself . When speaking about competencies , I believe you are talking about people .. i,.e project managers and not project management ..  In this regard, I have a specific service offering called "PROJECT MANAGER COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT" that I offer to large organizations who have several project managers/directors and possibly a PMO. If any organization is interested in this service,  let me know and let us work on it !
