TSE050 Green Project Management

The Total Systems "4-5-6" Green PM Approach!

Course Description

Recently, much attention has been given to the importance of sustainable development.  Most notably, The International Organization for Standardization established ISO 14000 to address operational standards that relate to the environment and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) was established to promote development of cost-efficient and energy-saving buildings through the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building certification program.  The Advanced Energy Center (AERTC) was also formed as a partnership of Academic and Research institutions, Energy providers and Industrial Corporations.

These initiatives, as well as soaring energy costs, have in turn produced the need to merge environmentally-friendly approaches with traditional project management methodologies – enter Green PM! Since this specialized discipline is relatively new, there are multiple opportunities for organizations and individuals to explore ways to align project management processes with caring for the environment!

This workshop is for anyone involved in projects wishing to practice Green PM while bringing projects in on-time and on-budget in the real-world.  The Total Systems “4-5-6” Approach enables project teams to fuse best practices from Total Systems, ISO14000 and the PMI® PMBOK standards, in a very practical way!

In this course, participants will learn the Project Management core competencies of planning, organizing, and controlling their projects, while exploring options for producing sustainable, renewable and environmentally viable products and services.

Upon completion, participants involved with PMI and the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional-PMP program, are awarded 16 PDUs or Contact Hours.
