In today’s world, sustainability planning is reshaping the business paradigm that projects contribute to. Project managers need to be ready for this transformation. This presentation explores the integration of sustainability competences into project management, based on the IPMA ICB4 Reference Guide.
How sustainable project management represents a scope, paradigm, and mind shift, requiring specific competences of project professionals to deliver successful projects in the context of increasing ESG commitments.
As we move into the second quarter of the 21st century, humankind faces unprecedented challenges. Resource scarcity, geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and environmental refugees are symptoms of humanity’s unsustainable impacts on nature and societies.
These global issues call for a new dynamic and visionary form of leadership that guides organizations towards a future where economic prosperity, social equity, and environmental stewardship coalesce.
