Project Leadership for Sustainable Futures 2025

New for 2025, the Project Leadership for Sustainable Futures short course is an opportunity for individuals who are looking to take on or expand their leadership responsibilities in projects to develop their understanding and skills on leadership, future making and governance with an underpinning of sustainability. In today’s project environment, it is essential that all individuals with leadership responsibilities – not just project leaders – broaden their expertise on how to lead complex projects whilst balancing tensions around sustainability, delivering outcomes and value as well as embracing new technological developments. 

Over a three-day period, the course will explore latest developments in project leadership such as collective leadership, the role of projects in future making, and governance considerations for sustainable project leadership.

The course has been developed by the Leeds Centre for Projects at the University of Leeds. The Leeds Centre for Projects is a globally leading centre of excellence advancing the knowledge in project management research and education and creating impact through engagement with industry, government and third sector organisations. The academic expertise behind the course is shaping the current discourse and underpinned by relevant industry experience.
