Beyond Boundaries: Inclusive Project Management for Global Impact and Transformative Change

In her presentation, Laura will explore the unique application of project management principles in contexts where traditional project managers are not present, particularly in environments involving individuals with intellectual disabilities. This exploration highlights the critical need for project management concepts to be accessible and comprehensible to all participants to ensure successful outcomes. The framework includes the development of simplified training tactics and a project playbook to streamline learning and implementation. It also emphasizes the need for transparency and visibility across all projects on a global scale, utilizing simplified performance-enhancing tools, and ensuring sustainability for ongoing maintenance of project management practices.  

Central to this approach is the commitment to extreme adaptability and change management, challenging traditional methodologies to better serve diverse and inclusive communities. By thinking outside the box, this framework not only showcases how project management can drive transformative change but also illustrates how evolving training methods can significantly influence and impact global practices, fostering inclusive and adaptable project management environments that serve our staff and our communities.
