Virtual reality in project management– a critical appraisal of its impact in sustainable project management
Research Goal: The research explores the transformative potential of Virtual Reality in team management, particularly its role as a catalyst for sustainable project management practices. By creating virtual environments that simulate project scenarios, VR facilitates enhanced communication, skill development and problem-solving abilities within project teams. Furthermore, VR-based training modules enable team members to acclimate to diverse situations, improving adaptability and resilience in dynamic project environments. Moreover, the utilisation of VR in project management significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with extensive travel requirements, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability. The technology enables remote teams to collaborate seamlessly, reducing the need for physical presence and minimising transportation-related emissions. In conclusion, this study advocates for the integration of Virtual Reality as a transformative tool in modern project management practices. By harnessing the immersive capabilities of VR, organisations can foster sustainable team collaboration, mitigate environmental impacts, and achieve greater project success in an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world.
Expected start date: January, May and September of each academic year
Duration: This is a three-year position
