Leadership Through the Lens of Collaboration

Major Projects Association

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.
