Green Project Management

The transition from GPM-b™ to CSPP™ officially begins on June 5th!

To help project professionals prepare, GPM has launched the new CSPP™ Readiness Assessment.

✔ 24 questions
✔ 8 competence areas
✔ Just a few minutes to complete

The result?

A personalized competence radar aligned to the CSPP™ benchmark — helping you identify:
• where you’re strong
• where gaps exist
• what closing those gaps looks like

Pathways to the CSPP include:

🔹 Current GPM-b™ holders → eligible for a no-cost opt-in
🔹 PMP® and CAPM® holders (as well as others) → shorter pathway
🔹 New entrants → full pathway, No prior certification needed

So… how do you match up to a CSPP™?

CDP just disclosed that companies anticipate $901 billion in losses from extreme weather, with nearly half landing inside the next two years.

The number will get cited. The structural problem underneath it will not.

62% of subnational governments report being hit by extreme weather. Only 35% of disclosing companies treat the same weather as financially material. CDP frames this as a perception problem. It is not. Local governments own the assets that fail first — roads, drainage, utilities, transit. Companies do not own most of that infrastructure, so the cost reaches them later, through delayed shipments and lost production hours.

The disclosure regime asks each company to assess its own materiality in isolation. The layer most exposed to cascade failure is the layer least equipped to report it.

And the two-year timeline puts this inside the operating plan, not the strategic plan. The people who can respond often don't hold the authority. The people who hold the authority are working from a different timetable.

Reporting cycles don't fix that. Decision rights do.
