Environmental Change Programmes - special treatment required?

Do environmental programmes warrant special treatment from a PPM perspective?

The recent Sterns Report outlined, with some clarity, the stark economic and human realities of global warming. Government Departments and responsible corporations alike are responding with the initiation of programmes that seek to address this most pressing o f macro concerns. Such initiatives arguably warrant special treatment - in relation to business case justification (less about clear, short-term payback, more about 'sustainable futures'), stakeholder management (balancing the needs of the 'green emotive' and the 'commercial rationalist') and risk analysis (organisation reputation damage is a current focus but what is the real exposure faced?). Are we a victim of the latest zeitgeist (as per the dotcom hype) - in which case conventional PPM should bring some grounding to this dialogue - or does this type of challenge justify a different approach? Michael Hurwitz, Head of Environment Policy and Delivery at Department for Transport and Dom Moorhouse, MD of Moorhouse Consulting, will present alternative perspectives in order to initiate a debate on this increasingly critical topic.
