Project Management and Education (continued)
Implementation Methodology
Partners for this event included:
Sustainable Development in Society and Business Practice
The scope of this course is to provide students with exposure to the latest environmental, economic, organizational, transpersonal, postmodern and motivational theories with which to create innovative ideas, organizations and partnerships of their own, without depending on the limited structures that exist today. Included, also, are suggestions as to how technology and technological systems theory can empower small companies to leverage the same global advantage in production costs that transnational companies enjoy.
About 40% of the material will have direct discourses pertaining to sustainable development (alternative energy, green economic theories, agrarianism, organic food, natural consumer products, ecotourism, etc.), and the remaining 60% will focus on discourses pertaining to self and organizational empowerment (understanding risk; defining leadership skills; defining the creative class; phenomenology; dispelling the mythology of industrialism and the monoculture revolution of the 60s [dubbed the green revolution, at that time], etc.).
The necessary tools for change must include a discourse on trusting intuition and creativity; an awareness that it takes courage to think of their own roles as professionals and as social integrators. More about this later. I have notes and a bibliography of over 25 books and articles, which I can provide, upon request.
