00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Good afternoon, my name is Donnie McNicol. I'm Director of Team Animation on A7C Ltd.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:16.000
and I also work with other consultancies in the field of major project delivery.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.000
So, I am going to be talking about a passion around sustainability and carbon.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Having written an article on this, crikey, must be 15 years ago for the RICS.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:41.000
So, we all know leaders and teams make decisions continuously, often without the data and capabilities to interpret the data and clearly make decisions.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Now, that I would say is likely the worst case around sustainability.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.000
It's a relatively new field, not very well understood, and very specialised.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:01.000
So, what I'm hoping to do during the talk is to describe how to embed sustainability data and reporting into the project as a norm,

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:09.000
particularly using the PMI's GPM P5 standards to make it into normal project delivery.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:19.000
So, I'm going to apply some principles from the emerging field of human-centric data that myself and Jonathan Norman have been developing over the last few years

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.000
that should make the standard more accessible, usable and value-adding.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:34.000
So, I'll show you how to broaden involvement of the project team and stakeholders, avoid reliance on small cadre specialists,

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:45.000
look at how the sustainability decisions and data impact or are impacted by the project and vice versa,

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:55.000
and also look at things like how this can be tied to ESG and carbon reporting at the same time,

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.000
which is another field which the project's people don't always overlap into, but may do,

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:11.000
and also into other broader human-centric data aspects such as biases, psychological safety and so on.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:25.000
So, ultimately, it's to try and blend using the PMI standard as the basis into traditional project controls, PMO work and reporting

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:33.000
to give decision makers a single comprehensive view of the world to allow them to make better decisions.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.000
That's broadly what we're aiming to achieve.
