Conference Day 2

1:45 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: Managing Up & Navigating Executive Pressure

For directors, head and senior production executives' pressure is a constant reality. Conflicting priorities, late changes in direction, and the push to ship despite known risks create intense challenges.

This session explores how to balance the demands of leadership with the needs of project teams and how to maintain credibility while protecting the people responsible for delivery. Panellists will discuss practical strategies for:
  • Communicating Risk Clearly: How to raise concerns about scope, schedule, or quality without losing trust.
  • Managing Up: Techniques for influencing decisions and aligning priorities amid changing directives.
  • Protecting Teams: Ensuring your team can work sustainably, even under pressure, while delivering results.
  • Decision-Making Under Pressure: How to weigh short-term demands against long-term success and quality.
