In this session, we share the practical approaches that keep technology projects on track: the governance structures, early warning signs, and techniques that help you manage scope, risk and stakeholders without burning trust, overspending, or overloading your team.
We’re joined by Lucy Ballantyne, Senior Digital Manager at Hand in Hand International, a charity that equips under-served women with the skills and resources to earn more money. Hand in Hand has just gone live on a new CRM after a short, focused implementation, so Lucy will be speaking from a project that’s still fresh. She’ll talk through how she approached it, the decisions that kept it moving and what she’d want other organisations to know before they start their own.
Hart Square’s Alan Perestrello and Joyce Harmon will draw on direct experience of delivery across the charity and membership sector so you leave knowing how to anticipate the complications that derail projects, rather than just respond to them.
Who is this for?
Project managers, implementation leads, and anyone with responsibility for delivering a technology project at a charity or membership organisation, including those currently mid-delivery and wanting to course-correct.
