Presented by Rich Maltzman, PMP, Co-Author, Cleland Award-winning book, Green Project Management, also former VP Professional Development, PMI Mass Bay

This keynote talk, “Project Management: turning ideas into sustainable reality”, begins by asking ourselves us why indeed we have chosen to be – or have ended up as – project managers in the first place. What characteristics of projects make managing them such a compelling career choice? We think one of the answers has to do with the way in which projects fit into the overall scheme of the organization or enterprise.

With that backdrop and at least a tiny piece of that existential mystery solved, we’ll cover the drivers that are currently accelerating enterprises and organizations towards “Triple Bottom Line” thinking at the strategic level, and highlight some that are making a difference (in all three).

Next, introducing the concept of Greenality, we move to the core of the talk – and the conference itself. How does sustainability thinking intersect with project management? Where are they aligned, and where are they (apparently) in conflict? How can project managers make a difference? What tools exist that can help us bridge the apparent conflict between the task and deliverable-oriented project and the steady-state, long term hum of operations?

Finally, we will challenge attendees to learn more about sustainability thinking and demonstrate that this expanded mindset can contribute not only to the altruistic goals of saving energy, reducing pollution, and treating people fairly, but that it can directly serve their projects and their organizations with tangible benefits. We’ll close with an invitation to directly collaborate with us in a non-profit organization devoted to combining sustainability thinking and PM.
