How project managers influence sustainable development.PMIUKChapter
With COP26 looming ever closer, the project management profession needs to accelerate developing our knowledge and skills to align our operations with our ambitions. Arup Director Rob Leslie-Carter joins us to discuss the route to achieve net zero through programmes and projects, and how every project manager can influence sustainable development.
Speaker
Rob Leslie-Carter is a Director with Arup based in London. He has worked around the world with Arup for 28 years, and specialises in the planning, set-up, leadership and delivery of complex infrastructure and property projects both on client side and as leader of multidisciplinary teams.
His project track record includes the Beijing Olympics Water Cube, the Laban Dance School in Deptford, New Acton Nishi in Canberra, Greenhouse by Joost in Sydney, and currently Europe’s biggest project High Speed 2.
Rob is a regular public speaker on leadership, project management, organisational culture, the future of work, and the road to Net Zero, and is a guest lecturer at the Bartlett at UCL and previously at University of New South Wales
HCC will be a leader in providing high quality, innovative education leading to student success and completion of workforce and academic programs. We will be responsive to community needs and drive economic development in the communities we serve.
All, social program design is complex, because people are.
4th Wheel Social Impact decided to tackle this challenge head
on, and we aim to strengthen development programs of
corporate houses, NGOs, social enterprises and
Government organizations, working towards a better India.
Read our story of the first 6 years of our organization.
To tackle global and societal challenges like the SDG’s and Climate Change - we need collaborations at a scale beyond individual projects and organisations.
We need to invest in building our portfolio capabilities - so that we can have scalable impact and work across the whole system for transformation.
By orchestrating entire innovation ecosystems, we can bridge and create coherence between the adaptive and practical efforts that are at play. This session will focus on building an understanding of the capabilities and capacities that are needed in organisations to work in systems transformations.
In the Innovation Ecosystems for Transformation session of the States of Change Learning Festival 2020, Mikael Seppälä from Sitra Lab spoke about Orchestrating Innovation Ecosystems
(and Portfolios) for Transformation.

Foundations of Current Leadership theory and practice
The majority of current management theory practice is based on the perspective of an ordered and structured world, where cause-and-effect relationships are relatively predictable. The foundations of the industrial age were also the foundations for leadership theory and practice, promoting the concept that leaders are able to stand as independent, expert observers outside the system and impact on it with predictable results. Through applying certain well researched formulas and principles, leaders would be able to achieve results over time.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

IN A NUTSHELL
The Urban Innovation and Leadership
Lab offers a unique combination of
innovation facilitation and social lab
architecture, that enables action and
experiential learning, empowering each
participant to find pattern-breaking
solutions and to develop as a leader.
THE LAB’S LOGIC OF CHANGE
Participants communicate and interact
on a peer-to-peer basis allowing for
true collaboration. Together they select
relevant challenges, find prototype
solutions in a unique design-thinking
process and enhance their leadership
capacities through coaching.
oration to solve the complex problems
of fast-changing metropolitan areas
and to maximise the opportunities that
arise from these transformations.
We invite you to participate in a
cutting-edge innovation and leader
ship development process and to learn
in cross-sectoral and diverse interna-
tional teams.
You will gain new perspectives on
urban innovation, learn essential new
skills, discuss pressing topics, share
your knowledge and ultimately co-
create solutions.
Over a six-month period you will work
in three different cities, contexts and
world regions – Shanghai (Asia), Dur-
ban (Africa) and Berlin (Europe).

NEW PERSPECTIVES
FOR LEADERSHIP
The Urban Innovation and Leadership
Lab delivers outcomes on the personal,
organisational and higher levels for
a desirable future of urban living. As
a participant you will integrate your
personal experience and professional
challenges in a creative process that
allows you to work towards a shared
long-term vision and apply your learn-
ing in your home context.
Consequently, the Lab offers a safe
working space and room for deep dia-
logue to enable a holistic perspective
on participants’ topics and challenges
and encourage sharing and support.
Exploration of meaning and purpose is
part of the leadership journey that is
complemented by individual coaching
and reflection.
Methods related to Foresight and
Design Thinking are applied in order
to generate ideas and innovations.
These methods boost participants’
cross-sectoral insights, cross-cultural
competencies and creative confidence
by encouraging rapid, team-based
development of ideas and prototypes.
Using iterations and reality checks, the
ideas are forged into applicable proto-
types that participants will be able to
implement in real-life settings.
Throughout the process, empathic col
laboration is fostered with the aim of
generating effective ideas and facilitat-
ing their implementation. Sustainable
urban solutions have a global perspec-
tive and therefore the Lab takes you
to three different global hot spots
to broaden and diversify your under-
standing.

5. It will take greater innovation capacity and modern lead-
ership skills that can break with conventional patterns if
we are to find effective solutions to the complexities of city
living.
This calls for leaders who are capable of initiating funda-
mental change in their areas of responsibility. Most impor-
tantly, systems and organisations can only transform if the
individuals who shape them grow as well. This is why we
offer a unique Lab methodology, designed to support leaders
and change agents and equip them to deal with the chal-
lenges of urban life.
Urban areas perform central functions at present and for
the future of humankind. Private-sector solutions and plan-
ning approaches have to co-evolve and adapt to the current
and future challenges of urban development in order to
transform our cities into resilient and sustainable systems.
• Visions of the lives of citizens are more diverse than
any company or city authority can grasp. This complex-
ity of real voices and visions can guide the thoughts
and actions of all agents. A new approach can shift the
focus from negotiation between particular interests to a
common purpose of development, innovation and action.
• Local solutions have to be compatible with urban and
national governance. How can governance be structured
to meet its responsibilities and facilitate flexibility and
stability at the same time? How can urban and national
management empower local initiatives for the benefit of
cities and become more inclusive? How can the crea-
tivity and energy of grass-roots initiatives feed into the
top-level governing bodies to provide fresh impetus and
make new structures viable?
• Technology constantly offers new and ‘smart’ methods
which promise to tackle challenges at city level, but
these are not universal solutions. How can technology
be applied effectively and sustainably in different con-
texts and settings?
• Sustainable urban development can only be achieved
with forward-looking, demographically-oriented
approaches. How can cities plan ahead to take account
of their growing populations? How can the integration
of data and scenarios help to identify future urban
challenges?
DEALING WITH THE CHALLENGES
OF URBAN LIFE
Urban Innovation and Leadership Lab – www.urban-innovation-lab.com
6. • By 2030, 60% of the world’s pop-
ulation will live in cities, and
significant challenges in social,
environmental and economic param-
eters require rapid adaptation and
heightened resilience.
• As cities evolve in size and popula-
tion, there is a greater variety and
complexity of issues that require
novel approaches and higher rates
of innovation.
• New players, collaboration part-
ners and stakeholders need to be
engaged and brought on board to
tap into collective intelligence, and
create ownership and readiness for
implementation.
• No two urban areas face the same
problems or have the same pre-
requisites for tackling those chal-
lenges, but they can learn from
each other and provide scalable
solutions.
• For the first time this programme
combines innovation processes and
leadership development, enabling
WHY PARTICIPATE?
you to find solutions, learn new
methods and grow as a future
leader.
• As metropolitan areas grow so does
their diversity in terms of nation
ality, ethnicity, religious believes
and approaches to life. Take the
opportunity to build your cross-
cultural competencies by meeting
and working with a global and
diverse team, and applying method-
ologies relating to human-centred
design and engagement.
Participating in the Urban Innovation and
Leadership Lab, you will
• be introduced to new ways of think-
ing that go beyond repeating out-
dated patterns of solution-finding;
• develop forward-thinking leadership
skills and competencies;
• be able to transfer fresh impetus
and insights into your home context;
• gain a deep understanding of the
diverse perspectives and systemic
challenges in your field;
• learn from dialogue with experi-
enced and innovation-driven leaders
with different mind-sets and pro-
fessional backgrounds;
• embark on a team-based solution-
finding process to respond to cur-
rent and future urban challenges
