The presentation looks to review a pair of recent Passivhaus accommodation schemes; Hinsley Lane (the largest Passivhaus scheme in Cambridge) and Mount Pleasant (which when completed, will be the second largest Passivhaus scheme in Cambridge). Both undertaken for St John’s College.

The focus of the presentation will be in reviewing the lessons learnt in the first scheme and how via appropriate management, these have been incorporated into the latter scheme to reduce risk and improve programme.

Thanks to the power of AI, the next generation of project delivery won’t be managed, it will be orchestrated, seamlessly, silently, invisibly. It just might be the end of project management as we know it and the beginning of something radically smarter, but will humans still be involved and, if so, how?

The presentation offers an essential and thought-provoking guide to evolution for forward-looking leaders, digital transformation strategists, and change agents who are planning for the long game.

Despite advances in programme management, governance and benefits management, well-designed programmes can still struggle to realise the value they were intended to create. Why?

This webinar explores whether part of the answer lies beyond methodologies and delivery frameworks, within the organisational conditions that shape behaviour, decision making and what becomes legitimate throughout programme delivery.

The session introduces the Behavioural Theory of Value Realisation, a practitioner-led perspective on how organisational conditions shape behaviour and influence whether intended value is ultimately realised.

Participants will leave with a different way of thinking about the gap between successful delivery and realised value, together with questions they can apply to their own programmes and organisations.

This event, Psychological Safety: Beyond the Buzzword in Project Delivery, takes a practical and honest look at what psychological safety really means in the context of delivering projects, programmes, and portfolios. It moves beyond theory to explore the real behaviours, signals, and environments that either enable or undermine open communication.

We will examine common delivery challenges such as “green” reporting masking underlying issues, the impact of fear on escalation, and the unintended consequences of traditional governance approaches. More importantly, we will focus on what can be done differently, at individual, team, and leadership levels, to create conditions where people feel able to speak up early, challenge constructively, and contribute fully.

The session will provide actionable insights and practical takeaways that can be applied immediately, helping to reduce delivery risk, improve transparency, and ultimately enhance project outcomes.

Strategy rarely fails in the boardroom; it fails in the corridors, meetings and inboxes where leaders interpret, adjust and quietly block the call to action. This presentation tackles the most stubborn problem in enterprise change: how to actually get a reluctant organisation to move.

This session explores the political nature of organisations, the mechanics of mobilising a “volunteer army” of middle managers and below, and the quarterly cadence that turns strategy into delivered outcomes.

Participants leave with a working influence map of their own context, a designed first sprint they can run inside their organisation (or their client’s), and seven design principles for getting bottom-up change off the ground.

Technical skills get you hired. Power skills get you heard, trusted, and promoted.

In today’s complex project landscape, project and program managers are expected to lead without always having formal authority, managing stakeholders, navigating resistance, and driving decisions in environments that rarely stop to wait for clarity.

In this 60-minute webinar, Raquel Horta – coach, consultant, and author of Power Skills: The Human Edge in Project and Program Management – explores the skills every PM needs to increase their influence.
