In the decommissioning sector, organisations face unique and evolving challenges as they navigate the complexities of safely and efficiently retiring assets. With decommissioning contending with a range of technical, environmental, regulatory, and stakeholder interdependencies that add layers of complexity, effective delivery of these highly fluid and complex projects requires more than conventional project management approaches. Managing the volatility, uncertainty, and ambiguity inherent in decommissioning efforts calls for a specialised set of leadership skills to drive successful project outcomes.

Traditional approaches often fall short when addressing the intricate demands of decommissioning projects. Decommissioning requires a different mindset, one that goes beyond task execution to embrace systemic thinking, strategic foresight, innovation, collaboration, and adaptability. Complex project leadership, therefore, stands out as an essential competency, guiding organisations through the dynamic landscape of decommissioning activities.

To ensure favourable outcomes, a new generation of project leaders are needed—leaders equipped to navigate the multifaceted challenges of decommissioning in today’s interconnected world.

Against the context of decommissioning, this webinar will explore what makes a project complex, and the implications for their delivery.

After this webinar you will:

• Understand the difference between Simple, Complicated, Complex and Chaotic project contexts and the implications for project delivery.
• Understand what can escalate a project or program from a simple to a complex state.
• Understand why a different set of skills and competencies are required to navigate complex projects- an introduction to the Complex Project Leadership Competency Standards.
• Understand why organisations need to operate systemically to deliver complex projects.
