Join Andy Murray, Executive Director of the Major Projects Association; Jenni MacKenzie, Commonwealth Games Senior Programme Manager; Mark Russell, Chief Executive of The Children's Society , Dr Simon Addyman, Associate Professor at UCL; and Deirdre Fox, Non-Executive Director at Advance Consultancy as they explore collaboration and leadership in major projects.
During their wide-ranging discussion, they cover:
How the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games used collaborative leadership to deliver, despite the Covid pandemic, a curtailed schedule and the need to descope parts of the original plan
Why collaboration is a strategic imperative for The Children's Society and how they deliver 80 different services to 50,000 children with and through others
The importance of co-creation and co-design
The need for a North Star for what (collective) success looks like
What time and means you have available for teams to come together across organisational boundaries
The role of the generous and incomplete leader within all of this.
