Thanks for raising this @Stuart Buckley, it is British Summer Time - we will update the event listing.

Thank you for sharing your learning with us @James Crompton. With the Cabinet Office's Construction Playbook and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030 shifting the industry towards outcomes, we cannot even give a value to being able to learn from real-life organisations that have already done it. It is much easier to change behaviour and get buy in when you are just adopting the best practice  out there than feeling you need to take a leap of faith and risk something new. 

The Project 13 Adopter Community held a session to discuss the eight Principles in SAID this morning (25 May 2021). The two complement each other and so the Adopters were able to provide some excellent examples of putting the eight SAID Principles into practice. It is not surprising that being a Capable Owner, front ending and understanding that data oils the wheels were three themes that came up consistently. There was some debate about whether we should set up the organisation around opportunities rather than / as well as risk. We look forward to the follow up to the report coming out later this year. 

Particularly agree with this, Lucy: Recruiting and maintaining talent requires that we seek out those with the skills, desire to challenge, comfort with ambiguity, and business management. This means those in leadership roles have to be proactive in finding those people. 'Desire to challenge' and 'comfort with ambiguity' is not something that you see on job descriptions but maybe we should.
