JOEL CARBONI: We’re not being taught to think outside the box of initiate to close. It’s what is the impact of our work, and what happens beyond handover? What happens at the end of the asset’s lifecycle? So when we look at green projects, it’s are you taking a total asset lifecycle focus? And that’s what we have to do.
WENDY GROUNDS: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. I’m Wendy Grounds. With me in the studio are Bill Yates and our sound guy, Danny Brewer. We’re so excited that you’re joining us, and we have a really interesting conversation today. We’re talking about Green Project Management.
Our guest is Dr. Joel Carboni. He holds a Ph.D. in sustainable development and environment, and he has over 25 years of experience in various areas of project management including government, finance, consulting, manufacturing, and education. In addition to serving as president emeritus of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in the United States, Dr. Carboni is also the founder of GPM, Green Project Management. And he’s the GPM representative to the United Nations Global Compact, where he was a founding signatory of the Business for Peace initiative and the Anti-Corruption Call to Action. And he’s a contributor to the development of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
BILL YATES: SDG is a Sustainable Development Goal. We’ll hear from Dr. Carboni that he actually worked with the United Nations to define those 17. Just some quick examples of some of those. One of those is climate action; another is clean water; another is no poverty. A final example, quality education. So those are some of the sustainable development goals that we’ll refer to.
Also Dr. Carboni is the creator of the PRiSM project delivery methodology. We’ll make reference to that and the P5 standard for sustainability in project management. He’s written training programs on green and sustainable project management that are offered to more than 145 countries. He’s the lead author of the book Sustainable Project Management, and he is a well-traveled man. We are fortunate to catch up with him and get to talk to him today.
