Overview
As we face a changing world it is imperative to think differently about projects and their leadership. The John Grill Institute for Project Leadership’s 2024 International Symposium on Project Leadership in a Changing World will discuss the latest insights through a series of keynote panel sessions and paper presentations with leading researchers in the field.
Projects are a form of organising used to envisage futures – interventions into existing social, technological and natural systems. We are committed to educating and researching project leadership for a digital, net-zero future. This can be achieved by addressing challenges that span a range of industries such as software, organisational change, infrastructure and new energy.
Our series of Project Leadership in a Changing World International Symposia are designed to share the latest thinking on project leadership across an international research, policy and practice community.
The agenda, including talks and panel discussions will be released closer to the date.
Project Leadership and the Institute
Thanks to a generous donation by John Grill, the University of Sydney has a track record of research and executive education, working with project leaders in Australia and internationally. The Symposium is organized by the John Grill Institute for Project Leadership. Founded through the investment from John Grill, the Institute recognizes the significant responsibility that project leaders face, especially where projects continue to be poorly conceived and delivered, costing the taxpayer and society. The Institute provides a trusted source of independent advice on project leadership that draws on the latest evidence from leading international research and practice to provide advice on conceiving, setting up and delivering major complex projects and portfolios or programs of projects to project sponsors, project leaders and project managers across government, industry and policy.
