Lunch & Learn | Sustainability in Project Management: Fiction vs Reality
With $40 trillion in global financial assets shifting toward sustainability by 2030 (Bloomberg, 2024), organizations face a critical challenge: the talent to manage this transition doesn't yet exist. Despite PMI data showing sustainability-focused projects succeed at twice the rate of traditional projects, 60% of organizations lack the capability to operationalize their sustainability goals through effective project management. This session explores how project professionals can bridge this gap, examining the evolving definition of project success in a climate-conscious world and providing practical frameworks for leading sustainability initiatives. Discover why LinkedIn's 2024 report identifies green talent as the most critical workforce gap and learn how to position yourself at the forefront of this transformation.
