How to Get Things Done is designed to empower young people everywhere to transform the world around them.
The toolkit is the result of a collaboration between Responsible Project Management and The 50 Percent, and serves as a companion to the Young person’s guide to systems change.
Our new toolkit challenges traditional, often complex and technical approaches to project management. By blending practical tools with AI-powered prompts, it helps turn ideas into impact while caring for people and the planet.
By putting people and planet at the centre of action, it supports everyone in developing an understanding of systems and project management that enables them to navigate challenges and get things done.
