PMP certification. Would this be beneficial to go for? Weighing my options. I have 25 years experience in logistics and supply chain

What's your motive for going for it?

More exposure to all aspects of the business. Do you recommend anything else?

Shouldn’t you be thinking about retirement?

What makes you assume this? A lot of people who have 25 years experience are needing to work for 10-15 more years to reach retirement. Getting a certification in PMP could be a great way to ward off any potential ageism that people are experiencing in the workforce. Anything to keep your knowledge fresh and relevant is a good move, I think!
