Roland Gareis and Martina Huemann (LinkedIn profile) present the results of the PMI financed research project SustPM – Sustainable Development & Project Management, in which sustainability principles such as economic, ecologic, social-orientation, short, mid, long term-orientation, local, regional, global-orientation and values-based were integrated into project initiation and project management.

Based on the basic assumption that the consideration of sustainability principles improves the quality of the project initiation and of the project management process, the research team together with representatives of several case study projects further developed selected project initiation and project management methods.

In the webinar the presenters provide their understanding of sustainable development and then focus on the case study of Hospital North, a hospital that is currently established in Vienna, Austria. Selected project initiation and project management methods which consider sustainability principles are introduced and discussed for the particular project case.

The presenters end their webinar with a reflection on benefits and limits integrating sustainability principles in the project initiation and project management process.
