Hello, my name is Paul Pelletier, legal counsel and PMP. I am a member of PMI's Ethics Member Advisory Group. The SNC Lavalin project scandal in one of numerous recent high profile project-related scandals. This case highlights the tremendous negative impact for the organization and all those associated to it. It also provides an opportunity to discuss the root of the problem, which is often based in a lack of ethical leadership or ethical decision-making.
