Doing the best for society and the planet through project delivery webinar

How we enable the vast untapped potential to transform project delivery, to deliver benefits far beyond the original stated goals of the project. This webinar was held on 1 December 2022.

Project delivery has vast potential in contributing to multiple economic, environmental and societal benefits, through our contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, the project delivery profession, and wider industry as a whole, is being slow to modernise and failing to learn from experience. The construction industry and consulting models are no longer fit for purpose to tackle the challenges we face, and clients hold the levers to create the right environment, and incentives, for this transformation to happen.

We need to change how we think, and what we do. We need to lever the power of data and analytics, and collaborate and trust on a scale we haven’t seen. This is why the Environment Agency and our partners are working with behavioural psychologists to help us overcome the natural human barriers that get in the way. Because, it will expose vulnerabilities and requires courage to change how we work. As leaders in project delivery, we have a choice how we lead, in these last remaining years we have to make the best difference we can. Choose wisely.

Dr Jo Jolly has a range of project delivery experience, most recently leading the successful delivery of the Environment Agency’s £2.6bn 6-year flood risk management programme. A strong advocate for the profession and the environment, Jo believes that if the nature and climate emergencies are to be tackled successfully we urgently need to re-think our approach to project delivery.

Jo is pioneering the use of data analytics in this transformation, through the Project Data Analytics Taskforce and as a Director of Construction Data Ltd. Her leadership values are founded in creating an environment for people to flourish and perform at their best.

Jo has very kindly allowed her presented material to be made available for viewing.
