UCalgary partners with Australia’s University of Sydney to provide project leadership training

The University of Calgary has partnered with the John Grill Centre for Project Leadership at the University of Sydney in Australia to create a joint initiative in Advanced Project Leadership. Twenty-two Alberta industry leaders from diverse industries took part in a masterclass to kickstart the project, where they discussed the importance of leadership in projects, explored the challenges facing senior executives in governing and leading capital-intensive projects, and identified the need for building leadership within project teams. “This partnership is mutually beneficial,” said UCalgary Vice-Provost (International) Janaka Ruwanpura. “We are looking forward to bringing our strengths together and working with industry to develop an intensive executive education program.” UCalgary
