News - Richard Dunwoody - New Talks!
Richard Dunwoody MBE co-presents a unique presentation on his record-breaking Expedition to the South Pole with Liz Ampairee, the Project Manager of the trip.
This is an ideal presentation for any companies or organisations that engage in, or organise projects on any scale – and want to inspire their staff to the necessity of exemplary teamwork, 100% commitment, flexibility and trust.
It includes:
• Richard’s initial commitment to undertake the expedition and the planning, logistics, and setbacks, he faced in getting to the start.
• The extreme physical and mental hardship of the expedition itself and the need for an unfaltering positive attitude at all times.
• His perseverance when things were unbelievably tough and thereby his ‘greatest achievement’ of finally reaching the Pole on January 18th 2008.
• Alongside this, Liz Ampairee considers all aspects of managing the expedition – sponsorship, management of key stakeholders, the massive publicity campaign to make this headline news as well as the dedication and trust required that came with the 24/7 responsibility for the entire 48 days of the expedition.
• Richard and Liz highlight the relevance of this expedition to any business project and how skill and will combined mean that any individual or team can achieve their own ‘South Pole’.
“The expedition…bore all the hallmarks needed for success, as identified by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), particularly: a clear shared vision of success, stakeholder management, resilience and adequate funding.”
Chairman London branch, Association of Project Managers
“The speakers were informative and entertaining, whilst the project was almost literally a matter of life, or death with all the people issues that other projects experience, but more extreme.”
Mitel Project Manager
“..what a roaring success this event was. It was hugely enjoyable and very interesting. Inspiring.”
Project Manager
