Where leadership meets execution – how teams lead, communicate, and collaborate can determine whether projects succeed or face costly delays.
Join Annisha Chakravorty, CEO, Culture & Leadership Expert (Positive Influence), Dave Bowen, VP, Asset Planning & Delivery (Manitoba Hydro), and Nicole Wowryk, HVDC Reliability Program Director (Manitoba Hydro) for a practical fireside chat on how leadership behaviours and team culture directly influence cost, schedule, and delivery performance on major capital projects.
Drawing on real-world experience from large-scale hydroelectric developments, this session focuses on practical tools, lessons learned, and leadership approaches to help teams perform effectively under pressure.
You’ll hear how teams:
- Strengthen accountability, execution, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, project management, and construction
- Apply lessons learned to improve readiness and delivery outcomes on large-scale programs (eg. HVDC)
- Maintain speed and clarity in construction environments, where timely, high-quality decisions are critical
- Identify and address people-related risks early
