The Responsible Project Management Techniques Programme

SESSION 8: TRANSPARENCY

13 October 2025 ONLINE at 16:30 — 18:30 (BST)

Responsible Project Management, supported by The Schumacher Institute

This is the next in a series of interactive, small-group session that will explore practical techniques for systems thinking on projects.  We will focus on ways of improving transparency on projects to help increase resilience and opportunities for adaptation. 

Each workshop will highlight one principle from the Manifesto for Responsible Project Management.  Relevant techniques will be introduced and there will be opportunities for practice and discussion.  Principle 8, and the focus of this session, is Transparency.

Projects and project management create the future, yet projects are frequently managed as a set of siloed activities and outputs.  It is time to see projects differently.  Responsible Project Management (RPM) aims to support individuals and organisations re-imagine project management as a series of interventions into a set of existing systems.  We need to uncover ways that projects can contribute to creating a better future.  A future that enables people and nature to flourish together. 

In all the sessions, you will be encouraged to apply the techniques in a project context that you are familiar with, past or present, to share ideas and explore management challenges from a range of perspectives.  To enable you to optimise the experience, you can choose the workshops most relevant to you.  Each session is booked separately.

The objective of this workshop is to explore how to encourage transparency among those involved in a project.  We will consider ways of making meetings open for sharing visions, thoughts and feelings, as well as structured and collaborative techniques for problem solving.  Participants will be invited to share experiences of successes and challenges of incorporating diverse perspectives into projects.
