In parts 1 and 2 of this special series on ‘plastic risk management’, I tied together the concept of project risk management and the identification and analysis of the threat of plastic pollution in the ocean, including and especially the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This post is going to be short and sweet because I want you to watch the embedded videos which really tell the story. I will even resist the blogger's temptation to review Parts 1 and 2; instead, I will point you to this excellent video:
VIDEO
A possible solution (risk response!) has been proposed and has been taken to reality by an organization called OceanCleanup , founded by young Dutch inventor Boyan Slat.
In just a couple of weeks, this company’s risk response will be launched. In an amazing video, Boyan Slat takes you through the entire Risk ID to Risk Response journey in quite an audio-visual-sensory way, and in a gigantic room that will make any of you who do presentations salivate. If you get nothing else out of these posts, have a look at the style and persuasiveness (and scope) of this presentation!
VIDEO
From this talk comes the actual launch of “System 001”. This is the risk response!
VIDEO
I have not a lot to add; see this for what it is: a project. Note the passion, the "connectedness" of the mission to the project’s outcome, the way the project is promoted, and the discipline which must’ve been invoked to get to this launch.
This is a newsworthy project, so keep your eyes and ears open for the press coverage of this event on 8-September. Here at projectmanagement.com and in particular at People, Planet, Profits & Projects we try to stay current, so YOU can stay current (excuse the pun).
Your thoughts?
