PMI Launches Project Management Global Sustainability Community of Practice

Greetings from PMI’s Project Management Community of Practice.

Realizing the importance of promoting awareness about global sustainability, Project Management Institute (PMI) has launched Project Management Global Sustainability Community of Practice. The primary objective of the community is to advance the understanding about the importance of global sustainability and to provide the knowledge, practices, tools, and techniques to integrate global sustainability into all types of projects, programs and portfolios. This community has been established also to educate the global sustainability community about the value of utilizing project, program and portfolio management to achieve global sustainability.

I am proud to be chosen as the first Community Council Manager of the Project Management Global Sustainability Community of Practice. I hope to turn this community into a vibrant forum which actively pursues economic, social and environmental balance by encouraging project managers to incorporate global sustainability in all current and future projects. The task is challenging and I look forward to teaming with you to advance this noble cause. The main objective of the community is to enhance the awareness of organizations, governments and individuals on matters related to sustainability. The community will also help devise strategies and practical guidelines that lead to more sustainable projects. The Global Sustainability Community of Practice will also serve as an advisory body offering expert opinions and consultancy on matters related to economic, social and environmental stability.

Through this email, I invite you all to join PMI Global Sustainability Community of Practice at http://sustainability.vc.pmi.org/Home.aspx

I solicit your support to work together as members of Project Management Global Sustainability Community of Practice and play our due role in the well being of humanity. Let us help our governments and organizations in devising sustainable policies. Let us manage our projects in ways which result in better economic, social and environmental balance. Let us make this world a better place for us as well as future generations.
