Integrating Mindfulness in Project and Program Management

This article intends to draw upon the growing number of theories and scientific evidence of the benefits of mindfulness from three perspectives: collective, organisations and individuals. This will be done by building on the latest research on the topic and linking it to an existing approach from Mindfulness in High Reliability Organizations (HRO) by professors Karl E. Weick and Kathleen M. Sutcliffe. The article also suggests potential particular areas for integration with the ISO 31000 standard of risk management in projects.
