Arras People produces a very good newsletter (just released today) which this month lists its seven predictions for Project Management in 2010.
Amongst the seven predictions is this one:
- Momentum for Green-Related Change Will Remain Stagnant
Although green issues seem to have risen in public consciousness in recent years, the central entity that can provide the forceful impetus for adaptation to global warming strategy remains yet to be found. Some of us surmise that currently there exists a gap around training, which in turn can lead to uncertainty as to solidifying a sound carbon footprint with each project undertaken. Who is the leader, then, that will face the issues head-on and ensure guidelines and standards for sustainable project carbon footprint governance? An individual? Government? A governing body? One thing remains certain: without someone or thing to pr ovide the impetus, talk about green initiative will remain cheap and toothless.
Cheap and toothless?
We need a dentist – and f ast!
Our efforts here at EarthPM are to avoid this stagnation. Join our discussion, read our upcoming book, and understand what we’re saying about green PM. Help avoid stagnation in this area!
Ironically, the very next prediction is “Projects will continue to fail”:
