<h3>Sustainability is now a strategic priority for most organizations, but strategy alone does not create impact. The real challenge is execution.</h3>

This 30-minute session explores why projects are the true engine of sustainable transformation. Drawing on research and practical examples, we will examine why sustainability is emerging as the&nbsp;#1 predictor of project success&nbsp;and what leading organizations are doing differently.

Through a live conversation and a brief introduction to PMI-GPM methodology, including the P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management, participants will discover how sustainability can become measurable, actionable, and embedded in everyday project delivery.&nbsp;

Innovation Session with Watershed

This workshop challenges a critical assumption: sustainability is not just a strategy, it requires a delivery system. Research shows sustainability is now the strongest predictor of project success, yet many organizations still struggle to translate ambition into execution. 
This session explores what leading organizations are doing differently. Through a short demonstration of the P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management participants will discover how sustainability can become measurable, actionable, and embedded in everyday project delivery, from sponsorship and governance to reporting and outcomes. Participants will leave with a clear perspective on how projects can become a powerful engine for sustainable transformation.

As recommerce and second-hand shopping become increasingly embedded in consumer behaviour, the challenge has shifted from awareness to acceleration.

Resilience requires more than ambition. Knowing where supply chain risk exists is not the same as reducing it. At the same time, while AI promises to scale insight, it cannot close this execution gap if it relies on unverified foundational data.

 
This session offers a practical view of where to begin. The discussion will focus on segmenting a supply base, moving toward continuous visibility, and building the reliable intelligence needed to turn risk signals into measurable action.
