The Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP, Minister for the Olympics and Minister for London (Paymaster General) will address this conference which will explore how organisations can manage complexity and risk. The event will look at both the management of complex projects and also managing cultural complexity and cultural change. What should top teams do when facing change? how does multi-agency working deliver results in both the public and private sectors?
Risk is a fact of life for those engaged in complex projects. The conference will show how this need not be bad thing and embracing risk may ultimately be the best strategy for its management.
