APM Webinar: Adapt, survive and thrive – leading successful transformation

Additionally, attendees will be invited to share their thoughts and ask questions to the panel.

This webinar, organised by APM (Association for Project Management), the chartered body for project management, is designed for leaders and is exclusively available to members of The Institute of Leadership and APM.
