Name: Reduce Waste by Planning Less: Building for Resilience, Not Perfection
Start: 2025-06-24T07:30:00.000Z
Location: Hudson Recruitment

Planning isn’t the problem—misguided planning is. In project management, overemphasis on detailed, upfront planning often leads to waste, missed value, and brittle delivery approaches. What if we could achieve more by planning less, but doing it better?
In this session, John Stathakis draws on his experience delivering the Student ID Card Project at QUT as part of the HiQ transformation to illustrate how a shift in planning philosophy—away from prediction and toward adaptability—can reduce waste and maximise benefits.
Using a mix of practical techniques and mindset shifts, John will demonstrate how value-focused planning and system resilience helped deliver outcomes that traditional methods might have delayed or derailed.
