Welcome to the Elite Project & Programme Management Community. Working in partnership with the Scottish Government, our Community is a free resource committed to driving innovation and improvement in Project & Programme Management through knowledge sharing and professional networking.

Knowledge sharing is an essential ingredient to achieving success. It can improve decision-making capabilities, identify skills gaps, help to build learning organisations and stimulate innovation and positive change.

Peer to peer knowledge sharing is especially impactful when expertise is scarce. Knowledge and skills that are passed between colleagues, learners or co-workers are especially effective due to their extreme relevancy and timeliness.

Our networking events are an excellent way to gain new perspectives from like minded individuals who face similar pain points in their daily work lives. Exchanging observations about goals, challenges and learned experiences is an invaluable asset that our members can bring to their next set of projects.

Do your projects finish on time and on budget, but fail to make a lasting positive impact? If you’ve ever seen a project’s hard-won benefits fade away months after handover, you understand the gap between delivering a product and delivering actual, lasting value.

Beyond the Deliverable: Mastering the Art of Sustainable Outcomes and Legacy

📅 Date: Friday, 19th December 2025

⏰ Time: 13:00 – 14:00 (UK time)

👤 Speaker: Steven Gardner, Sustainability in Programme Management Expert

What You’ll Master

• Outcome-centric planning – How to define and measure success that extends far beyond project closure
• Stakeholder & ecosystem integration – Techniques for engaging stakeholders to build ownership and ensure long-term project viability
• Legacy & impact measurement – Frameworks for measuring and reporting on the social, environmental, and economic legacy of your work
• Value & resilience creation – Strategies to embed resilience and create enduring value that strengthens your organisation’s reputation and bottom line

Why Sustainable Outcomes Change Everything

Project management has long been defined by the ‘iron triangle’ of time, cost, and scope. But a project delivered on time and on budget that creates no lasting positive value—or worse, has a negative long-term impact—is a failure in today’s world. This narrow focus leads to missed opportunities, wasted resources, and a failure to meet the growing demands from clients, regulators, and society for genuine corporate responsibility.

From Project Output to Positive Impact

This seminar is about shifting your focus from simply ‘finishing’ a project to ‘fulfilling’ its potential. You’ll learn how to embed sustainability into the very DNA of your programmes, ensuring your work delivers value for years to come.

Who Should Attend?

This complimentary seminar is exclusively for project and programme management professionals ready to embed lasting value into their work and lead projects that make a genuine difference.
