This essay considers and reflects upon the mark that Professor Peter Morris made through has personal advocacy and published works on all that is now understood as being project  management. Taking a semi-chronological approach, the essay notes the variety of Peter Morris’s carefully considered and critically positioned contributions that have had a global and lasting impact. As one of the earliest scholars to seriously consider project management from a scholarly perspective, Peter Morris then went on to both develop his deep knowledge of the field, leading to both his proposition of the ‘Management of Projects’ and his various provocations that culminated in his concern for project management’s role in handling the many and serious challenges posed by climate change and global warming.
