S6E149: Five Levers for Change with Tony Welch

In this week’s pod, we were joined by Tony Welch to discuss the five levers for change. Following a career in the Royal Navy, Tony has had a wide and varied career in industry, rooted in project controls, assurance and programme management. He has operated at the senior executive level and has a track record of business/programme turnarounds, transformational change and performance improvement. Military and civilian careers have provided business, profit and loss and programme management experience in defence and aerospace, information technology/systems and transportation. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows: Five Levers for change Lever 1: Anticipation and continuity Lever 2: Empowering to deliver Lever 3: Supporting teams Lever 4: Transversal learning Lever 5: Attracting and recognising Businesses are more open to changing their ways of working following the pandemic. People are also working more flexibly which is enabling internal mobility within organisations Anticipating learning and development needs is difficult when trying to implement training across a multi-national organization. It is important to work with Project Management associations and assess competencies across an industry benchmark Peer reviews of projects from a technical and project management perspective should take place throughout the project life-cycle as opposed to only being performed when a project is in difficulty Operational leadership is about creating an environment that is challenging but supportive Task, team, organization – people work for people not organisations For more information, blogs or to support our charities visit www.projectchatterpodcast.com If you'd like to sponsor the podcast get in touch via our website.
