Beyond the Risk Register - Project Success, Delivery and Risk Leadership

Discover practical insights into defence, project delivery and risk leadership through expert speakers, panel discussions and networking.

Project success depends on far more than delivering on scope, schedule and budget. As projects become increasingly complex, organisations need stronger collaboration between project management, risk management and strategic leadership to navigate uncertainty and achieve successful outcomes.

Join PMI Adelaide and the RMIA SA/NT Chapter for an evening of learning, discussion and professional networking that brings together experienced project managers and risk professionals from across defence, government and highly regulated industries.

The evening begins with a keynote presentation by David Dietz, Senior Director of Supply Chain and Qualification Services at H&B Defence. Drawing on more than 30 years of international defence experience, David will share insights on how to sell, keep sold and grow project members to deliver solutions from building a business case through delivery.

Following the presentation, an executive panel featuring senior project and risk leaders will explore how organisations can move beyond traditional risk registers to integrate risk thinking into project delivery, governance, decision making and organisational culture. Through practical examples and real-world experiences, the discussion will examine how risk and project professionals can work together to improve delivery outcomes in increasingly complex environments.

Whether you are a project manager, risk professional, program manager, executive leader or emerging practitioner, this event offers valuable insights, practical takeaways and the opportunity to build connections across both professions.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• Defence project success and complex program delivery

• Integrating project management with enterprise risk

• Leadership and governance in complex environments

• Practical approaches to managing uncertainty

• Building stronger collaboration between project and risk professionals

• Emerging challenges facing modern projects
