A sustainable future - governance, leadership and benefits. What will make the difference?

APM Benefits and Value and Governance joint SIG Conference - 10 October 2023

This conference brings together leaders of projects that have demonstrable sustainability benefits, to share their experience of the differences in approach that will be needed, at initiation, at planning and options selection, during project delivery, and through handover and into embedding, to ensure the planned benefits are realised.

Conference context

Environmental and Societal issues should be at the forefront of international, government and corporate investment projects. The risks of failure include extreme weather conditions, refugees and wars, leading to a substantial disruption to our economy and way of life.

Managing projects that deliver this sustainability requires different skills from the management that created this situation – governance that looks ahead to the handover and embedding, benefits management that puts a value on the circular economy, societal good and environmental repair.

Who should attend?

Project sponsors, including SROs and SPAs who are responsible for benefits and/or governance and will be able to explore the specific aspects of these relating to sustainability.

Project, programme or portfolio board members, who oversee Business Cases and approve stage gates.

People on project leadership teams or aspiring to project leadership, who will be called on to deliver environmental and sustainability benefits and need to understand what's being asked of them.

People responsible for engaging with stakeholders on emotive and often subjective topics, such as the importance of environmental impact, carbon neutrality or the cost/benefits of novel approaches.

Researchers and lecturers who have to contribute to the discussions/ dialogue/ or interpretation of research and have a lot to gain from the contributions of others.
