Michael Young, Founder and CEO of Transformed has worked with many organisations to develop their project management capability. He has had articles on project management published both in Australia and internationally and has authored / co-authored over 28 journal articles, papers and numerous book chapters.

Michael has added another to the list of his works on project management and has co-authored a reference guide on green project management, now available on Amazon.com.

Designed with other thought leaders in project management as a handy reference for anyone involved in projects in any capacity, this book provides practical information and step-by-step guidance on how to manage projects sustainably.

Co-author Dr Joel B. Carboni notes “Over the past decade…the definition of sustainable has evolved and many organisations have had to re-evaluate their business to incorporate practices that are socially responsible and environmentally friendly. It is, therefore, necessary to align the management of projects to better support the new business landscape..”

Over four parts and 14 chapters – this book can be used as a resource to support a number of GPM programs.

“I engaged Michael Young from Transformed to assess me for the Australian Institute of Project Management Certified Practicing Project Manager. I wanted to be certified as I wanted to verify that the skills and knowledge was in line with industry best-practice. At first it seemed a bit daunting, however, Michael made the process very easy, providing templates for references and self-assessment as well as providing a list of the project management documents I would need to provide as evidence. The assessment interview was very relaxed and more like a conversation than an assessment, which brought out the best experiences to evidence my capabilities. Because of Michael’s current government security clearance, we were able to look at specific of particular projects, rather me than having to spend a heap of time sanitising documents. Since the assessment, I have been successful in gaining a promotion..”
