We are excited to present a virtual panel discussion, entitled: ‘Leading through change’, bringing together experts, from business, legal, consultancy and engineering, to address some of the issues they are facing and discuss the solutions they have found. This webinar is free and open to both members and non-members.
We recognise that businesses have been forced to completely rethink their strategy during the global pandemic while also dealing with the changes brought about by Brexit. For many this has meant completely reworking their strategy and mitigating huge operational challenges.
This panel discussion, moderated by Transport Engineer Editor Will Dalrymple, will offer valuable insight from leaders with cross sector expertise. There will be time for live questions from the virtual audience.
The panel will discuss:
- Successes achieved and lessons learned in testing times
- Examples of how businesses have adapted
- Using technology to overcome obstacles and maintain a safe work environment
- Company culture and leadership
- Agility, sustainability, diversification and cost management
