Sustainability Challenges and Project Management
As project, program and portfolio managers, we
cannot be indifferent, quite the contrary be
sensible, receptive and take an active role,
that is, be change agents for a better world with
inclusive growth, social equity and progress,
between other goals. (González, 2013)

make common cause with other companies
and other stakeholders in addressing global
challenges and helping to meet the needs
of the world’s people.”

The Current PM Challenge
Many project
managers are
locked onto focusing
on the traditional
Time / Cost / Scope
paradigm (if lucky
they take into
account quality)
Successful
project
managers
focus on time,
cost, quality,
scope,
benefits and
risk
Exceptional project
managers also take
into account the
other triple
constraint… Though
the key questions
for organizations is
how to facilitate
this?

Which are the Stakeholders of Project?

The Inside Out Approach
The Outside In Approach
Today’s internally focusedapproach to
goal setting is not enough to address
global needs.
By looking at what is needed externally from a global
perspective and setting goals accordingly, projects
can bridge the gap between current performance
(Business as Usual) and Increased performance
