Abstract:

What does sustainability really mean for project, program, and product professionals? Too often, it feels like a buzzword—but in practice, it’s about delivering smarter, more resilient outcomes. In this interactive session, we’ll demystify sustainability and introduce you to the principles of Green Project Management (GPM).
