Abstract
Permanent organizations, such as companies, divisions, profit and cost centres, as well as temporary organizations, i.e. projects and programmes, change. Reasons for changes might be new values of organizations such as transparency, empowerment, stakeholder participation, risk-orientation, etc., which are values on which sustainable development is based.
<br/>
<br/>Different change types, namely organizational learning, further developing, transforming and radical re-positioning can be identified and can be described by specific chains of processes. For performing change processes of permanent organizations projects and programmes can be ap-plied.
<br/>
<br/>The processes for managing the different changes of projects, in which the principles of SD might be considered, are described. The focus is on the management of transforming a project. The case study: Transforming the Project Hospital North is based on a comprehensive analysis of this project transformation in the book 'Project Management & Sustainable Development Principles' by Roland Gareis, Martina Huemann and André Martinuzzi (all WU Vienna) pub-lished by PMI (Gareis et al. 2013).
