| 11/19/25 | ![]() Balancing projects and daily work: 3 time-saving strategies | Change consultant and executive coach Nicola Hopes shares several tips and tricks for crafting intentional business projects that can facilitate meaningful changes for organisations. Hopes explains the fundamental questions that help ensure projects achieve intended outcomes, the importance of knowing what good looks like throughout the process, and how leaders can better balance project demands alongside their day-to-day responsibilities. "I've seen lots of organisations passionate about doing a great project," Hopes said. "And, at the end of it, what's delivered doesn't quite solve the problem they were trying to solve, or it doesn't quite realise the opportunity, because they just weren't clear enough about what good looks like. Unless you've painted that picture really clearly, you don't know how to navigate the problems as you go through." Resource: Nicola Hopes' UK & Ireland ENGAGE slides.

Digital tools that can help organise key information. Strategies for improving interpersonal skills. How leaders can help stakeholders find common ground during disagreements.
