Companies must pay careful attention to their impact on the communities in which they operate. Consequently, there are various project management areas that can contribute to, or hinder, Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. Astute project managers must be able to leverage their experience and expertise to support companies with sustainability measures to improve their environmental impact. This magazine focuses on how professionals utilize communication, resource, procurement, and scope management to ensure that projects are aligned with Corporate Social Responsibility goals and objectives. Using budget management, scope management, and other project management tools effectively help ensure that projects deliver quality results that are fiscally advantageous to organizations served. In the articles provided below, we will focus on quality management, strategies involved in responsible sourcing and procurement, and cost management within business. This magazine will also include how organizational culture impacts Corporate Social Responsibility, how to improve organizational reputation via effective cost and stakeholder management, and how to manage and avoid unnecessary cost overrun while improving sustainability efforts.

Is it just focusing on balancing out the gender gaps in an organization? Is it merely attracting different races within a company? Having a diverse workforce has led companies to grow financially, as well as culturally. A Forbes article, based on a study by McKinsey Diversity Matters Report, asserts that a diverse management team has a 19% higher innovation revenue (Powers, 2018). The next question is, how exactly does this pertain to project management? In this magazine, we intend to explore how Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) is changing the world of Project Management. We will explore how D&I is allowing for growth in PM and affecting projects with different results. We intend to have our contributors to offer a vast array of concepts including leadership, diverse teams, cultural differences, and gender inequality. As students at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), in the future we will represent those diverse professionals that will be making our way into the field of Project Management. Proposed and Potential Articles No. Title Author Contributor 1 Bridging Generational Differences in Diverse Project Teams Abstract: This article will focus on the disconnect between both the older and younger generations of coworkers in the present society and workforce. Educating the older generation comes with ushering in a new era and “teaching an old dog new tricks” to accomplish the same work-related deliverables. On the other hand, educating the next generation comes with humility through learning and the ability to accept the advice and help from a more seasoned and experienced source.

According to the (2015 McKinsey) report, many organizations that promote ethnic and racial diversity are more likely to enjoy financial returns. Diverse teams have many benefits; for instance, they process facts and digest information faster and carefully make the best decisions. Also, diverse teams are more innovative and smarter.

Establishing or creating a diverse team should be one of but not the primary goal for any organization, the ability to successfully lead this team of diverse people throughout the cause of any project from initiation to closing should be paramount for any organization. Leading a diverse project team encompasses much more than hiring people based on different skin color to work together on a project within an organization. It also entails learning to recognize, accept, and appreciate differences in race, culture, religion, social class, sexuality, ability, and gender by accepting everyone for who they are regardless of their multiple social identities.

Kay, PMP Adjunct Professor Morgan State University Diversity of Actions: Project Management and Risk Based Decisions During a Global Pandemic Borders closed. Airlines grounded. Public and private schools releasing students. Universities ceasing physical operations and moving to an online environment. State and local governments instituting social distancing and quarantine measures. News reports with public officials constantly reiterating safety measures that you and your family should take to respond to a global threat. Is it War? No, but it is a stressful condition that has caused extreme measures to be taken by all people of the world. At the time of this writing the United States, as well as other countries around the world, are in the midst of a global pandemic known as the novel Coronavirus 19 or, as it has been commonly referred to, COVID-19 (Maryland Department of Health, 2020). Where does project management fit into all of this you ask? Project management fits in everywhere and in every action that must be undertaken by leaders and its citizens to respond to the disease and to provide healthcare solutions. At the forefront is the management of risks and issues, as well as stakeholder communications which lead the way as the key areas impacted by this situation, with the other project management knowledge areas falling closely behind. By leaning heavily on the tools and techniques used within all of these key steps, this represents the diversity of actions at the federal, state, and local levels as well as actions taken by a country's government to quell the rising tide of infection among their people. When in the state of an emergency, such as the one declared for the pandemic in the United States, our world’s leaders had a limited window to react and respond to curb adverse reactions that were experienced across all borders. This is a case study meant to compare the best practices and lessons learned from a risk and issue, stakeholder and communication aspect, as well as provide diversity in a different framework, based not just on race, gender, or class, but through diversity of action in response to a worldwide crisis. Let us take a look at the diversity of action in response to COVID-19 by the United States and other countries in implementing their risk and issue management. Risk and Issue Management It all starts with risks and the determination of what a country will do in taking an initial action and what it is willing to forgo when it has advanced warnings. Consider the diversity of action taken via risk mitigation strategies. In the examples below, listed at the time of writing, you can clearly see which countries took a more adverse risk approach versus a lessened risk approach and the ramifications on its citizens. Diversity of Risk and Issue Actions: ● China – Recognizing they have a significant health crisis on their hands, the Chinese government commences building a 1,000-bed hospital in 10 days; alleviating huge pressures to house and care
