Project Leadership in a Changing World – 4th International Symposium

By


On Wednesday 13 November 2024, we held the Project Leadership in a Changing World – 4th International Symposium alongside our co-organisers at the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at University College London.

From 5.00pm – 11.00pm (AEDT)/6.00am – 12.00pn (GMT) we held a series of selected paper presentations from submissions that we received from academics around the world. There were 17 presenters from 7 different countries – the full agenda can be found here.

From these presentations we offered high commendations to three papers:

  • The role of leadership in ex-post project benefits realisation by Dr Sarah Coleman
  • ESG-Driven Evolution of Owner Project Capabilities in Infrastructure Delivery by Ting Ting Lee
  • Transformational Project Leadership: The Engine of Strategic Entrepreneurship by Dr Xinyue Zhang.

Another accolade was the Best Paper Award, which was awarded to Meiqi Lu for her paper: ‘Leaders in Projects Make the Future of Energy Transition: A Systematic Scoping Review’.

There were also two panel discussions held on AI and Sustainability, Resilience and Just Futures and their impact on project leadership in a changing world. These discussions consisted of conversations between leading academics and industry professionals from these fields.

We would like to thank all of the speakers and presenters who too part in the session as well as the 160 viewers from 27 different countries that joined us at the session.
