Panel: Introducing Change

15:30 - 16:15

  • Positive Change Stories – Panellists share a short example of meaningful change they’ve seen in practice (engineering, culture, procurement, digital, sustainability), focusing on what changed, why it happened, and what made it possible.

  • What’s Caught Your Imagination? – Reflections on the most inspiring or thought-provoking ideas from across the two days, connecting the panel directly to the conference content.

  • Priorities for Change – Where the sector must focus next, the systemic dependencies that matter, and the practical, low-cost actions organisations and individuals should take — informed by the Reviving our Ageing Infrastructure agenda.
