Synopsis
IBM has a long and bold history of environmental programmes, spanning more than 50 years. In this session, Dr Petrena Prince will provide examples of some of these programmes and focus on ones IBM has done with clients around Responsible Project Management. Studying previous case studies is often an excellent way of preventing sometimes potentially costly mistakes in future projects and Petrena will provide insights into what worked really well and what didn’t work so well in her RPM examples. In doing so, Petrena will explore areas very relevant to project managers tackling RPM - including the approach to governance, obtaining stakeholder buy-in, dealing with key risks and issues and achieving targeted benefits.
