It’s another direct connection between sustainability thinking and project management. I have blogged several times on the subject of how assumptions are the larval form of risk (particularly threats).

The basic idea is that within a bigger, overarching culture we can develop and sustain a different culture. They main responsibility is to sustain the culture bubble. On one hand if we want to see a fundamental and sustainable cultural change we need to get top ranks involved eventually. Organizational culture is one of these areas that I pay a lot of attention to. Over years I started valuing the role of the culture increasingly more and more.

But not least, you will have the desire to be true to your client’s long-term vision (even when your client is not) and to deliver the project’s outcomes and benefits in the most cost-effective and sustainable manner. Authenticity is a fundamental building block in project leadership. Leadership doesn’t come from emulating others or from blindly following a set of rules. It comes from a deeply personal approach which is rooted in who you are as a person.
