Author of Becoming a Sustainable Organization Writing a New Book

 My first book, Becoming a Sustainable organization: A Project and Portfolio Management Approach, published by CRC Press and released in 2016 continues to be relevant today. As we adjust to what we term the "new normal", we see that the topics of environmental and social impact are ever present. My Great IT Pro webinar for the PMI community entitled Perspective on Post COVID-19 Leadership: Planetary and Business Health addresses the intersectionality of planetary, societal, and business health. The relevance of this work is reflected in the continued interest in this research on Research Gate, its numerous citations, and the inclusion of the book in global library collections.

For those who are not familiar with my work, here are a few links that you might find useful.

Becoming a Sustainable Organization


For those of you who are fans, you will be pleased to know that I am writing a new book, Driving Transformative and Equitable Change to Build Inclusive Organizations. The following is a brief description of the book.

 Despite focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion, the imbalance of power remains and manifests itself across organizations. In order to move the needle, we need new approach that focuses both internally and externally. Redesigning organizational systems and leveraging tools such as a framework to build an inclusive organization and a model to engage and support senior and middle management, begins the process of capacity building and systemic change. Layering in artificial intelligence and technology to support data based decision, we can move forward in creating just and equitable organizations. Rebalancing power, breaking down systemic barriers and authentically welcoming diverse voices is a fundamental requirement for successful 21st Century organizations.

Thank you to the many friends and colleagues are collaborating on this project. Look for more details in 2021.
