In 2026, we move from awareness to execution. Building on the momentum of previous Sustainability Summits, The Evergreen Project Manager focuses on Green Project Management and the practical application of sustainability and regeneration across industries.

Project professionals sit at the centre of change. We influence decisions, resources, timelines, and stakeholder priorities. Through our projects, we shape infrastructure, systems, products, and services and therefore long-term environmental, social, and economic value.

This summit is a call to action. Success is no longer defined by time, cost, and scope alone, but by the value we create for people, planet, and prosperity. This year’s summit will challenge project professionals to lead differently, act boldly, and embed sustainability into everyday delivery.

Participants will learn to navigate complex decision-making scenarios, balance stakeholder expectations, and foster transparency, accountability, and trust in their teams. The program emphasizes practical strategies for leading with integrity, applying ethical frameworks to real-world digital projects, and promoting a culture of responsibility and inclusivity. By integrating ethical principles with digital-age leadership skills, participants will be empowered to deliver impactful, value-driven outcomes while shaping the future of responsible project management.

In today’s fast-changing, complex project environments, success depends not only on meticulous planning and execution, but also on strategic communication and effective stakeholder engagement at any stage. This session explores practical frameworks and contemporary approaches for connecting with diverse stakeholders, fostering collaboration and driving real-world impact. The session further explores how to design and implement effective stakeholder engagement and project communication plans, facilitation of interactive workshops and manage expectations across multi-stakeholder initiatives. The session will provide actionable insights for navigating challenges, making complex decisions and ensure lasting project impact.

This session will share how the Next Best Action engine is powered by AI shifting from broad segmentation logic to a system that recommends the right action, for the right person, at the right moment. No hype, no vendor pitch. Just the real decisions, trade-offs, and hard lessons from delivering AI-driven personalisation at scale across multiple markets.

The big shift isn’t technical, it’s a mindset change from group photo to selfie. From designing for segments to designing for individuals. If you’re a project or product professional navigating your organisation’s AI ambitions, or a CRM practitioner ready to move beyond batch-and-blast, this session gives you a practical, grounded look at what it actually takes to make intelligent decisioning land and deliver real business value.

This month, we dive into one of the most timely and thought-provoking ideas of our era: the power of rethinking.

In Think Again, Adam Grant challenges the assumption that intelligence is about having the right answers. Instead, he argues that true wisdom lies in our ability to question our own beliefs, unlearn outdated ideas, and stay mentally flexible in a fast-changing world.

Through engaging research, real-world examples, and compelling storytelling, Grant explores why we cling to opinions long after they stop serving us—and how adopting a mindset of curiosity rather than certainty can lead to better decisions, stronger relationships, and more innovative organisations.

Our discussion will explore how Think Again reframes disagreement as a tool for growth, highlights the dangers of overconfidence, and offers practical strategies for becoming more open-minded without losing conviction.

A practical framework for Social Leadership, designed for delivery environments, how leaders use voice, influence, and advocacy to align stakeholders, increase engagement, and move complex work into action (without performative “culture talk” or heavy process). Project Management asks: Can we deliver? Social Leadership ensures: People believe in the delivery.

Let’s be honest, most executives don’t wake up thinking about the PMO. They’re focused on business results, growth, and avoiding surprises in board meetings. If your PMO isn’t directly helping them achieve those goals, you’ll struggle to get their buyin (or even their attention).

In this session, we’ll tackle the reality head on: PMOs that thrive don’t just track projects they drive strategy. The secret? Speaking the language of executives, proving ROI, and making sure the right projects get done (not just the loudest ones).

Artificial Intelligence and Automation are no longer experimental technologies—they are strategic drivers of organizational change. For project professionals, this shift brings both opportunity and complexity.

In this PMI webinar, Navigating Change: AI & Automation, we will explore how AI-driven transformation reshapes delivery models, stakeholder expectations, governance structures, and risk frameworks. The focus is not just on tools but on leading change effectively in environments where automation and intelligent systems are embedded into business operations.

During the online event, Emma-Ruth will help you to explore what real PMO maturity looks like, the characteristics that assessors look for to determine where you are on the maturity scale.

Along with the theory, Emma-Ruth will share some practical tips on how to identify your keys to success, simple but effective ways to improve, and how to get started.

In this edition of the Nexus of Learning Book Club, we use Agentic Artificial Intelligence by Pascal Bornet as a springboard to explore a much bigger question: How should project leaders operate when AI systems are no longer just tools but autonomous collaborators?

Agentic AI represents the next phase of digital transformation. Many organizations are already experimenting with generative AI, but very few are structurally prepared for systems that can reason, plan, trigger workflows, and operate with semi-autonomy. This book was selected because it shifts the conversation from AI as a capability to AI as a transformation catalyst that reshapes governance, delivery models, and leadership accountability. This session goes beyond summarizing the book. Instead, it translates the concept of agentic AI into practical enterprise scenarios—banking modernization, AI-driven automation, governance-heavy production environments, and cross-border transformation programs.
