Reassess, Reset, Relaunch: Airbus’ Project Journey
OVERVIEW
In complex organisational environments, knowing when to pause a project can be as critical as knowing how to deliver it. This PMI Queensland chapter event features Airbus sharing real-world insights from its journey of maturing project and PMO practices within highly regulated, safety-critical environments.
The session will explore how disciplined pauses, structured reassessment, and strong governance enable organisations to respond to uncertainty, recalibrate priorities, and ultimately deliver sustainable long-term value. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on decision-making, lessons learned, and how project leaders can balance momentum with strategic judgement.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Gain a clear understanding of the Transformation Team's role and responsibilities within Airbus in Australia Pacific.
- Discover the Lessons Learned methodology used to ensure value was extracted and not lost from the discontinued project.
- Take away the core lessons learned and see concrete examples of how those lessons were translated into lasting organisational change
- Understand how this experience has directly influenced and improved the governance model for the entire Transformation Portfolio over the past year.
