Making a movement and causing good trouble: How to Be More Pirate (90 minutes)
Alex Barker runs Be More Pirate as a network and movement. She is a freelance writer, facilitator, community builder and advocate of professional rule breaking. She is co-author of How to Be More Pirate and works across the public and private sector on strategy, culture change and challenging the status quo. Previously, she was communications manager at think-tank, The RSA (Royal Society of Arts).
Pirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn’t just reject society, they reinvented it. They weren’t the villains Disney would have you believe, but revolutionaries who stood up to the status quo and imagined something far better. There’s much that can be learned from pirates about innovation, collaboration and sticking by your values. Since Be More Pirate was published in 2018, the pirate principles have been applied all over the world by individuals and organisations – from local authorities to Lego, nurses to Nike. In this interactive session, Alex Barker will explain what she has learnt from their global community of rebels about rewriting the rules today: how to face your fears, be bolder in your thinking, manage uncertainty, collaborate more effectively and fight for what really matters.
“ Genuinely original, surprising and inspiring ideas don’t come along that often. Be More Pirate is all of this and more. Be More Pirate is going to be much bigger than a book.” Luke Hyams, Head of Originals for YouTube

Applied Neuroscience for Project Success
Known for bringing an understanding of how the human brain works to the worlds of project management and business transformation, Carole’s on a mission - to make the invisible dynamics which get in the way of delivery more visible.
(90 minutes)
The title of her book, Project Delivery, Uncertainty and Neuroscience – A Leader’s Guide to Walking in Fog, sums up her approach. Carole has been an international project leader, an NHS programme director and an educator and consultant for 20+ years. Current projects include building the UK Government’s senior change, project and program management capability on the Project Leadership Programme at Cranfield.
Imagine asking a linguist to produce a translation without a grasp of grammar, or a doctor to give a diagnosis without understanding physiology. Yet we ask you to deliver projects without really understanding why people behave as they do. Advances in neuroscience have given us an underpinning model to draw on. You will come away from Carole’s session:
•
Knowing how the human brain works and why people behave as they do,
•
With a model that makes sense of the numerous strands of good leadership, people and change management practice that everyone else tells you about. And, most importantly, having considered the implications for you and your projects.

Ruth was Lead Editor of the Association for Project Management Body of Knowledge 7th edition (2019) and the 5th edition of Managing Successful Programmes™ (2020). Ruth was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Association for Project Management in 2013 for her services to risk and change. The synergies between the two disciplines continue to drive Ruth’s thinking, writing and practice.
In this session Ruth will reflect on how the APM Body of Knowledge 7th edition and Managing Successful Programmes 5th edition are intended to help leadership of projectbased work in a VUCA world. The session will be interactive, using polls and one breakout session. The session is designed to challenge our thinking about how we understand and apply guides and methods to achieve beneficial change. What are the essential practices and skills? What can be tailored to meeting the unique challenges of the situation? The session will build on the session on Agile Change and anticipate later keynote sessions during the Festival.

The Future of Leading Strategic and Complex Programmes and Projects
Stephen is renowned for bringing energy and excitement to what many see as the ‘dull’ world of project and programme management. He has worked with organisations globally to help them embed the fundamental principles and is well known for his storytelling and fun approach.
(90 minutes)
A practitioner for most of his career, he is also a senior lecturer at Cranfield, where he helps, clients including the Cabinet Office, to transform their project managers into project leaders.
The last year has shown us that in Darwin’s words, “it is not the strongest nor the most intelligent that survive – it is those most adaptable to change”. Many organisations are still clinging to outdated mindsets about how to manage change and still believe that a strict methodology and strong governance will see them through. In the complex future that we face, there will be a far greater emphasis on the leadership rather than the management of major projects and programmes – this session will address this evolving (and to some people frightening) trend.

Senior National Policy Advisor NHS Confederation
Ian started his career in healthcare in 1998 as a government economist, providing economic advice to the Department of Health on a range of topics, including workforce (supply and contracts), primary care and finance. He moved from there to a range of policy and strategy roles in DH and the NHS.
Kate Walker is the Digital Programme Director for Suffolk & North East Essex ICS, the East Accord Partnership and Joined Up Care Lead and the Co-author of the Digital Ethics Charter www.ethicscharter. co.uk @TheValueofIMT.
William joined the NHS Confederation in September 2019 and is the organisation’s policy lead for system transformation. His work has involved supporting NHS England & Improvement and the government on the development of integrated care systems (ICSs) and primary care networks (PCNs).

According to Tam, she started life as a (bad) scientist (too impatient) before moving into the National Health Service. In more recent years, her role was driving large change programmes and innovation across NHS Scotland, where she recognised that the key to successful outcomes was always people and how things were done. This led to a lot of exploration, learning and sometimes failing but resulted in a range of tools, process and methods that she still uses and has developed further in recent years, including: • QUBE – the super reality facility for learning, delivery and events. • LEGO® Serious Play® – collaborative hands-on process for responding to key challenge questions. • Creative problem solving – including user-centred design. • Team and individual coaching – in particular, tools to change the how and tools to support wellbeing. Observing how effective these methods were for transforming teams and services in the NHS (including a huge reduction in valueless tasks like admin and email) encouraged Tam to see how she could spread this learning on a much wider scale across the public, government and education sectors. “As a result, there is now a growing virtual community of change agents, innovators, problem solvers and collaborators to tackle some of our biggest challenges, including HOW we work within this sector,” she says.
Every lunchtime throughout the five-day festival, participants will be invited to solve real-world NHS problems, using Lego Serious Play. Each team will be invited to share their prototype solution with a judging panel on the Friday afternoon. The winning teams will then be invited to have a follow-up meeting with the challenge sponsor to progress their ideas.

Professional Roles Insights and Skills Swap Shop
Take some time to focus on your career development! During this session, join a panel of professionals sharing their career experiences, challenges and insights, then fire away with any questions you may have for them.
Learning and Training Options Case Studies
In a rapidly volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and changing healthcare environment, it is essential that employees have access to a diverse range of learning content to facilitate the delivery of world-class patient-centred care and to support organisational strategy. Participants will: • be introduced to a ‘Learning & Training Options Prospectus’ • learn how the APM can help and support them • find out more about the APM Apprenticeship Hub & FREE student APM membership • hear first-hand from apprentices and others within the project profession.
Learn all about the PMO Toolkit and question the team that created it! Find out about the background, creation and how you can use it.
**
Participants will be encouraged to explore and discuss: how have we adapted our project management approaches during times of change in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world? Have we moved away from traditional project methodology approaches? Has a greater pace, deployment, and agility in project management affected our ways of working and improved outcomes for patients?
We are also inviting you to join our skills network exchange. What skills and services do you want to develop, and what do you have to offer? This exchange will help to inform future NHS Capability Framework versions and provide meaningful Learning & Training Options to a broad range of NHS project individuals.
