Project managers have begun to embrace the concept that they have a responsibility beyond financial value creation for a narrow group of shareholders. 

Responsible project management (PM) seeks to encourage project managers (PMs) to create multiple forms of value for stakeholders (human, social and environmental) in addition to financial value.

Responsible PMs take ownership for delivery of these types of value and ensure that they enact them in their daily practice in an ethical manner.

In this way, Responsible PM is differentiated from corporate social responsibility which is focused on organisational level representations and processes of enacting societal and community responsibility.

In this session, Nigel will discuss the agency of PMs (what is our role and scope of action), the nature of responsibility managed (when should we act?), the extent of PM responsibility (to whom are we responsible/where are we responsible) and activities (what practices can we adopt that deliver our idea of responsibility).

To support our work, we’re currently conducting a survey on the extent to which the circular economy is embedded in projects. Circular Economy in Projects Survey

You are also invited to participate in a one-day online workshop that explores the competencies involved in managing projects responsibly.
