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.

- 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.
