Overview

Ask the CEO brings project professionals and executive leaders together for a direct conversation about what drives project success, what gets in the way, and how expectations are shifting in an environment shaped by transformation, change fatigue and AI enabled delivery. The evening opens with short research-based insights on project success and then moves into a practical panel discussion with CEOs and executive leaders.

For project professionals

For CEOs and executives

Understand how senior leaders define success, what they most value from delivery teams, and where projects often fall short from an executive perspective.

Hear directly from the project community delivering change and shape a more realistic conversation about expectations, trade-offs and organisational readiness.
