DTL Women's Lunch Series: Strategic Thinking for Project Development
Determined to Lead: Strategic Thinking for Project Development
Join Iwona Wilson, Co-Founder and CEO at Wilson Biz Consulting, for an interactive session on early-stage project development, stakeholder alignment, and strategic decision-making. In complex technical environments like the energy sector, mastering the framework of decision-quality is a critical skill for every leader.
Instead of a traditional lecture, this session will dive deep into actionable strategies for project governance. Using frameworks refined over two decades of global corporate experience across the UK, Australia, and the US, Iwona will guide the audience through shifting from a reactive "firefighting" mindset to a structural, decision-driven leadership style.
What You'll Learn:
Root-Cause Diagnosis: How to identify if your team is solving the core problem or just managing surface-level symptoms.
Stakeholder Alignment: Key frameworks for building tight, high-confidence alignment during high-stakes project development.
Strategic Change: How to move from a culture of reaction to one of absolute structural clarity, confidence, and execution.
This event is designed for:
Founders & C-Suite Executives navigating rapid deployment and change.
Technical Project Managers & Engineers looking to scale their strategic influence.
Board Directors & Executives focused on risk mitigation and project governance.
Energy & Tech Leaders managing the fast-moving complexities of the energy transition.
