Harrison, Chair
of IC3 – International Centre for Connected Construction, and formerly the
Chief Operating Officer of Turner & Townsend Plc, Global Construction
Consultants
About the seminar
Public
confidence in companies and organisations has been rocked by a slew of failings
in management and oversight: Northern Rock Building Society, Oxfam, Carillion
Construction, Durham County Cricket Club, North Cumbria NHS Trust and more. There is a need to understand in simple common sense terms why organisations
run into problems and fail. The value of trust has risen, and many stake
their lives, livelihoods and security on the basis of reputation, experience
and expertise. But who is really safeguarding public interests? What is
the difference between management, regulation and governance? What do
non-executive directors, trustees and governors do? How are they judged?
What are the core issues? What impact have these failures had on individuals and communities? What does good practice look like and where can it be found? Is there still a place for a moral compass in all of this?
