Our panel will explore how project failures, unexpected outcomes and difficult challenges have reshaped approaches to asset management, river management and hydrology. Hear from practitioners as they reflect on their own experiences, share perspectives on what went wrong, and discuss how these challenges led to innovative solutions, changed thinking and fresh approaches.
The discussion will cover a range of real-world examples, from projects that delivered very different outcomes than originally anticipated, through to the practical steps taken to remediate difficult situations and improve outcomes. We’ll also explore what can be learned from failure and how these lessons can inform the way we approach future projects.
This is a great opportunity to hear candid insights from others in the sector, share your own experiences and connect with fellow Rivers Group members in a relaxed setting.
Come along, share a drink, and join the conversation about what happens when projects don’t go according to plan - and what we can learn from it.
Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
Arrive from 5pm with the panel starting around 5.30pm.
Socialise with fellow Rivers Group members and hear how project failures reshaped approaches to assets, river management and hydrology, sparking innovative solutions and fresh perspectives.
