In addition, Kersti has attained Doctor of Project Management and Master of Business degrees and is an Adjunct Professor at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.

Kersti's key point of difference is her keen ability to combine relevance with rigour - the relevance of her accumulated work experience and the rigour developed by her postgraduate studies.

• Project/program objectives and their alignment with strategic objectives;
