Introduction:

According to research by Accenture and the UN Global Compact, in a survey of over 1,000 CEOs from 27 industries across 103 countries, 93% regard sustainability as key to their organization’s success. The objective of this course is to support this demand from senior management by helping you develop the skills needed to make your projects sustainable.

You’ll learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how to use the PRiSM (PRojects integrating Sustainable Methods) project lifecycle developed by Green Project Management (GPM) to support them. You’ll learn about the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and how to use GPM’s P5™ standard to evaluate the impact of your project on the TBL.

In addition, you’ll learn how to prepare a better business case that addresses sustainability, and how to develop and use a Sustainability Management Plan. We’ll also provide a sustainability perspective on project management fundamentals from estimating to scheduling to procurement management.

On the last day of class, you’ll take the Green Project Manager — Basic (GPM-b) exam. Successful candidates will:

• Set themselves apart from the vast majority of other project managers in the market

• Be listed on the international register of GPM certified PMs

• Increase your job mobility and choices even in the face of a tough job market

• Improve your earning potential with an internationally recognized certification in one of the fastest growing focus areas

• Have proof of your skills and knowledge at applying sustainable methods in projects

• Demonstrate to senior managers that you are aligned with the organization’s mission and values

Approximately 50% of class time is devoted to casework and experiential learning.

This course is taught in English.
