We are delighted you want to join us. Let's get you booked in.

Due to the extreme heat, this event will now be held online via Zoom.

Even when the worst outcomes have been experienced institutional behaviours remain the same, why is this and how can we do better?

In this session we will tee up the APM “People and Behaviours” theme that will run from July to September 2026. The talk given by Stephen will challenge participants to reflect on their own, their teams and their organisations behaviour to position our North East Network to explore and shape People and Behaviours for improved Projects + Change in the region.

People and Behaviours are consistently recognised as the biggest challenge for projects to overcome to achieve sustainable change impact. As a project participant or interested party you will gain unparalleled insight from Stephens own personal journey and global experience in the most challenging circumstances. Stephen’s ability to reflect and identify improvement spaces whilst maintaining a warm, open and safe environment for all to participate is unparalleled.
