Maintaining Focus on Sustainability Despite Economic Headwinds
Jabian Journal
Given increased pressure from stakeholders, operational challenges caused by natural disasters and supply chain disruptions, and the proposed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) climate disclosure regulations coming soon, there is no question as to why environmental sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) are a focus of corporate leaders and a topic in the boardroom. But in a year riddled with layoffs and cost cutting across many industries, how are leading…

Why Box Checkers Don't Check The Box
Jabian Journal
Project management has come to be viewed by many as a skill that employees can perform without
necessarily having deep expertise. In fact, many companies and even consulting firms operate as if every consultant on staff can be a project manager. While it is true that basic project management can be
