The Big Interview: Karen Blackett CBE

In this exclusive interview, Karen Blackett CBE, former UK President of marketing giant WPP and co-founder of the Black Equity Organisation, shares her perspective on how technology is enabling organisations to connect globally and operate with greater agility. She also offers insight on the areas that are critical for effective project delivery, and how teams can overcome obstacles to success.

In the video, Karen discusses project leadership with APM's Head of Communication, Matthew Johnson, and highlights two areas she considers critical to successful transformation: clarity around decision-making and striking the right balance between a firm end goal and having the agility to remove blockers as they emerge.

She also addresses the topical issue of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), discussing how leaders and organisations should respond if challenged on their EDI goals.
