Have Your Ever Jumped From An Airplane? Leading A Complex Project In The Public Sector

Imagine – you’re on an airplane flying at 13,000 feet. From this perspective, the world below looks far away; objects on the ground are small, and out of focus, clouds are blurring by, and you can feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins. As you adjust the parachute straps firmly on your shoulders, you begin to question the decisions that led you to this moment – Why on earth am I doing this?  

These were the emotions Saby Waraich, experienced project management leader and IT expert, experienced as he prepared to lead a challenging technology project that had failed multiple times and had been struggling for many years.  Join him as he takes us on journey revisiting the highs, lows and lessons learned during this behemoth of a project.
