Sustainable Project Management

"Managing sustainable, profitable projects.

Sustainability is a core element of all business activities, including project delivery, but it is also vital to ensure this is balanced against profitability. Otherwise, efforts to save the planet will end up as short-term charity projects rather than strategic components of long therm project planing."

Key Note Speaker Anne Larilathi at the PMI Global Congrass 2009 - EMEA

“Today project managers play a central role in helping the world deal with challenges such as resource scarcity, climate change, growing populations, hunger, education of children and disaster relief and recovery. More and more Projects ROI will be measured in terms of environmental and social gains as well as financial gains. Throughout the world, projects decision criteria is changing and global sustainability is affecting the project scope, budget, schedule, quality and risk.”
