What if we looked at major projects as grand experiments, or considered managing change as harnessing a force of nature, or thought of project managers as theatre directors, foresters or even, minecrafters.
In this first ever episode, five leading thinkers: Julie Black (Director of Missions and Capability at the UK Space Agency), Donnie MacNicol (owner of Team Animation and founder of the Delivery Club), Helen Bevan (Strategic Health Advisor for NHS Horizons), Jo Lucas (co-founder of Co-cre8), and Andy Murray (Executive Director of the Major Projects Association) share five metaphors to help reframe major projects and how we deliver them.
"Allow the tide of thinking to take place around you as only then can you effect real change."
This is an episode about learning, emergence, complex environments, human systems, experimentation ... and Trojan mice.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
