On 18 May, Karen O'Brien, Derk Loorbach and Steve Waddell participated in a discussion called "What is 'Transformation' and why is understanding its qualities important?" Follow their conversation to learn about how academics view and study the concept of "transformation."
Travis Green kicked off the PNODN year with a talk on Green OD. After a 30 minute mingle Travis had us engadge in a dialogue about the meaning of "Green" "Sustainable" and "OD" in the phase "We are committed to being a ______ organization". Members reported a perception shift when thinking about what they heard in those three statements. Then, we were off.
The group explored the jargon and came to an understanding that this concept of sustainable change is being defined. Some suggested it is part of the design work we do to define this with our cleints. One strategy that was illuminating was to start with what they already doing that is sustainable.
We talked about the challenges of Sponsorship and education about systems. We had questions about what tools to use and process consulting was a recommendation from Travis.
Members talked about notion of the "triple bottom line", and how the language of accounting and profit predominats the mental models that run organizations. The group talked about our role to bridge that language to sustainable concepts for our clients in ways that are meaningful to them.

Exploring Sustainability: Concept and Definition from Practitioner's Perspective4Ventures Legacy (4VL)
Exploring several key definitions from Western models of sustainability / sustainable development and how Islam actually, encompass and embed sustainability values in all aspects of life. However, this paper only discuss it from the perspective of practitioner's view which tends to leave the definition to be vague and it mean different things to different people.

What is Sustainability? There is no right definition of sustainability. Intuitively we know that if something is sustainable it can go on and on without adverse affects.
Tim Jackson, UK Sustainability Commission:
“ Shared and lasting prosperity.” But he also adds that we’ve destroyed lasting prosperity through unfettered growth.
Elisabet Sahtouris, writer:
“I see Capitalism as a pretty natural (in the sense of evolution biology) juvenile economic mode, acquisitive and creative, but believe it is high time to move into the mature cooperative mode if we want to survive current pileup of unprecedented crises.”
Ray Anderson, CEO and founder of Interface:
“ Take nothing (that is not quickly renewable), and do no harm.”
Public sector infrastructure and services generally do not have a major impact on mitigating or adapting to climate change or sustainability (exceptions exist).
A cycleway or a public bus service does not mitigate or adapt to climate change, in fact their construction often accelerates climate change. It is us riding our bikes on the cycleway or using the bus service instead of using our cars that mitigates climate change. A cycleway being used for recreational purposes is not contributing to climate mitigation unless the riders would otherwise be using their cars for recreation.
This presentation will use ‘PRUB-Logic’ to demonstrate that any actions project managers take to address climate change and sustainability must not just enable and empower users but also inspire us and our communities to change our behaviours. This means that project managers need to consider how the results of their projects will better inspire changed user behaviours.

“2021 will be the year that showcases Scotland's shared purpose in accelerating progress towards the SDGs. All eyes are on COP26 - our SME community is the beating heart of Scotland’s economy and can drive a fair and inclusive green recovery." Dr Hock Tan, Edinburgh Napier University.
The event will be led by Edinburgh Napier University Business School and seeks to explore how SMEs in Scotland can accelerate progress towards the SDGs, by measuring business impact and building partnerships. The forum will host international speakers who will offer valuable insight into “building back better together” and how organisations can improve sustainability performance and collaborate through cross-sector partnerships. It will also feature the SDG Action Manager Tool, a free confidential online tool used to measure and manage the social and environmental impact of your organisation.
The event will conclude with an overview of the ongoing future opportunities to work with Edinburgh Napier University Business School and SMEs across Scotland. Edinburgh Napier University will support 30 SMEs to use the SDG Action Manager Tool and provide opportunities for cross-sector collaboration.

How we enable the vast untapped potential to transform project delivery, to deliver benefits far beyond the original stated goals of the project. This webinar was held on 1 December 2022.
Project delivery has vast potential in contributing to multiple economic, environmental and societal benefits, through our contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, the project delivery profession, and wider industry as a whole, is being slow to modernise and failing to learn from experience. The construction industry and consulting models are no longer fit for purpose to tackle the challenges we face, and clients hold the levers to create the right environment, and incentives, for this transformation to happen.
We need to change how we think, and what we do. We need to lever the power of data and analytics, and collaborate and trust on a scale we haven’t seen. This is why the Environment Agency and our partners are working with behavioural psychologists to help us overcome the natural human barriers that get in the way. Because, it will expose vulnerabilities and requires courage to change how we work. As leaders in project delivery, we have a choice how we lead, in these last remaining years we have to make the best difference we can. Choose wisely.

Follow the Ants: The Knowledge Economy & Big Data ManagementZola Dube
According to the premise of strategic planning, the world is supposed to hold still while a plan is being developed and then stay on the predicated course while that plan is being implemented.
- Henry Minzberg, 1994
The greatest challenge facing the New Knowledge Economy is balancing Big Data Management with Data Latency, while fostering a culture of Best Talent Remixing to continuously hold it all together. Aptly dubbed “wicked”, the new world of business is characterized as dynamic, fast-paced, volatile and unpredictable. This environment has brought heightened challenges and risks to virtually all business industries and organizations. Ancient Zulu philosophy holds a wealth of intelligence on how to observe the new environment.
Green Training in a Blue Economy: The Role of Training in Corporate Sustainab...Human Capital Media
The training function has been a key player in many of the green initiatives that have sprouted up in recent years. But with the lingering economic doldrums, many organizations are sharpening their focus on the bottom line. Will the “new normal” undercut the drive for a green future? In this session, we’ll look at a number of examples of sustainability initiatives in a variety of organizations and the role of training in supporting them. Finally, we’ll share ideas for training organizations that want to lead by example with environmentally friendly training practices.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Presentation to
Dammam University students
Saudi Arabia
Griffith International
Brisbane, 27 August 2014
2. Objective of this session
To learn to think differently
Make a note of changes you can
make in how you think and what
you do when you return to work.
3.
4. Critical thinking
Critical thinking is
thinking about your
thinking while you’re
thinking, in order to
make your thinking
better.
Richard Paul, 1992, Critical Thinking: What Every Person Needs to Survive in a
Rapidly Changing World, p. 7.
5. Characteristics of
unstructured problems ...
Cannot be described completely
Have more than one potentially viable solution option
Generate controversy, even among experts
Have incomplete information that is subject to a variety of
interpretations
6. … characteristics of
unstructured problems
Have a variety of solution options with
unknown outcomes
Often need to be addressed repeatedly over
time as conditions change and better
information becomes available
Can be addressed through a problem solving
process that uses information in increasingly
complex ways
8. So how might we define strategic
thinking?
Strategic thinking is about developing strategy
Strategy is about the future
Integrating the future into your decision making processes
today by thinking big, deep and long.
Maree Conway, 2009)
9. Big
Do we understand how we
connect and interact with other
organisations and the external
environment?
10. Deep
How deeply are we questioning our
ways of operating?
Do we operate from our
interpretation of the past, or our
anticipation of the future?
Are our assumptions today valid into
the future?
11. Long
How far into the future are we
looking?
Do we understand the shape of
alternative futures for our
organisation?
12. Thinking Big: Systems thinking
Leaders need to understand they are part of larger
systems
Doing so shifts focus from optimising their small
part of the picture to building shared
understanding and a more holistic vision
Peter Senge, The Necessary Revolution, 2008
13. Thinking Deep: Taking a world view
What might seem real to you may appear less real to
another person.
How you filter information (the lens through which you
view the world) to create meaning is critical to one’s
understanding
14. Thinking Long: Environmental scanning
Scan actively
Scan in ‘non-traditional’ places
Scan for diversity of perspectives
(not right, not wrong)
Look for connections, collisions
and intersections.
46. The modelling conducted for the 2013 study produced larger budgets than
indicated by the modelling of Meinshausen et al (2009) in 2011 Carbon Tracker work.
That approach produced a range of 565 – 886GtCO2 to give 80% - 50% probabilities of
limiting warming to a two degree scenario (2DS)

55. 1: a project or undertaking that is especially difficult, complicated, or risky
2: readiness to engage in daring or difficult action
3:
(a) a unit of economic organisation or activity; especially a business organisation
(b) a systematic purposeful activity
56. There is a multiplicity of organisational and
business types that might be characterised as
Private
sector
Public sector Civil society
For profit Not for profit
In transition Start-ups
58. stakeholders and investors see value
creation opportunities and cost
reduction opportunities in the strategic
use of sustainability concepts, practices
and innovation
59. • a clear understanding of its role in the creation of
economic, environmental and social value
• more value is generated if it is driven by a compelling
sustainability vision accompanied by the monitoring
of performance relative to that vision
‘How much closer to sustainable success are we?’
is a much better question than:
‘How much less unsustainable are we?’
