Consider enlisting University of Lethbridge students as learner-consultants through a project-based program! The realm of Project Management, concerning matters of Indigenous significance, extends well beyond mere 'execution management.' In Aboriginal communities and among those engaged with Indigenous groups, the role of a Project Management Officer is growing in significance. In Aboriginal communities, this role differs greatly from its Western counterpart. Indigenous Project Management (IPM) goes beyond conventional approaches, incorporating Indigenous worldviews. For Aboriginal businesses or those working with them, Project Management merges Indigenous perspectives and seeks non-standard solutions. Practitioners of Indigenous Project Management must understand standard methods while championing truly Indigenous projects.
