The World is facing a Polycrisis future. New environmental & social threats continue to arise across the planet. As individuals, we have a conscience, but as we are about delivery, not policy, our objectives are decided for, not by us. We do our bit in the way we deliver, not what we deliver. However, expectations from our stakeholders are changing. Many purchasing organisations now ask questions about supplier's environmental & social (E&S) activity. Organisations are implementing environmental & social governance (ESG). We are starting to do more of the right things where they give us financial benefit. Unfortunately, not all E&S activity has a financial case. Some of the E&S constraints on how we do things can fall by the wayside when seeking more return. The answer is to lift our E&S thinking into Business Purpose. What are the organisation's "worldviews" & what do we want to drive into business strategy? As this level, the driver for our organisation's contribution to the sustainable wellbeing for all of humanity has a hope of some priority & not getting tactically ditched. This means we must be able to drive strategy effectively. However, evidentially, we are poor at strategy delivery. We can't easily balance performance today, value creation for tomorrow, & change for the future. (find out more - https://lnkd.in/eTtivBze) Therefore, we will be presenting a vision that combines: - the standards for Purpose Driven Organisations (PAS 808) which defines the necessity to uplift our attitude to ESG. (find out more - https://lnkd.in/etR3jfAR) - the Business Integrated Governance Framework which enables the definition, development and delivery of strategy across business as usual, value creation and change - within which projects can receive their objectives and priority. (find out more - https://lnkd.in/edHYRaCS) So - unfortunately - the path to a resilient world is not going to be achieved just through individuals getting a conscience. We need to help our organisations work the right way by putting E&S goals into our strategy, not just tactically sprinkling them on top & expecting project managers to perform magic. Join us as part of the PMI PM4THEWORLD conference at our presentation on October 10th, 3.10pm GMT. Alex Shapley and I will argue that the P3 community - with our support offices - is a great place to build from to enable our purpose driven organisation to actually drive its purpose. Engage your organisations to improve project delivery, but also to improve the ecosystem which wraps around it: Read this: https://lnkd.in/eBiA9NRu Watch this: https://lnkd.in/eiR7nMMN Conference booking here: https://lnkd.in/eTWXNzjX See you on the 10th? #PM4TheWorld#PMI #togetherwecan
