The Time is now | Summer keynote lecture with Sue Kershaw
8 September 2020
On Thursday 3 September we held our first online keynote lecture, with Sue Kershaw Managing Director Transportation at Costain, and Royal Academy of Engineering visiting professor.
Sue delivered our Summer keynote lecture, ‘The Time is now’ Progressive assurance on Major Complex Infrastructure Projects and Programmes.
The lecture explored how we need to keep working together to better understand how assurance can be embraced and how we can get the message across that assurance is an enabler not a distraction.
Thank you to everyone who took part, there were some really good conversations about what assurance will look like now and in the future.
