Sort By: Newest First Chronological Votes Laura Schofield PMI Team Member Online Community Specialist| Project Management Institute Newtown Square, PA, United States Hi Verónica, thanks for raising this topic! It's not one that I am very familiar with, but I found this ProjectManagement.com webinar that dives into the concept in the context of project management: https://www.projectmanagement.com/videos/7...professionals-. It's a good starting place to learn more! I'd definitely be interested in hearing about how project professionals in the community are applying this concept to their projects. ... 1 reply by Verónica Elizabeth Pozo Ruiz Jun 05, 2024 6:27 PM Verónica Elizabeth Pozo Ruiz ...

Rather than water and beer sludge going to waste, it helps produce food for the kitchen. ... 1 reply by Verónica Elizabeth Pozo Ruiz Jun 05, 2024 6:49 PM Verónica Elizabeth Pozo Ruiz ...
