Webinar: Your Project Isn’t Telling You the Truth

This is a practical, insight‑led lunch and learn webinar, ideal for joining over your lunchtime and taking away immediately useful perspectives for your current work.

A timely session for anyone responsible for steering complex programmes through uncertainty, scrutiny and change.

Most large public sector programmes look fine on paper until suddenly they are not. Dashboards stay reassuringly green, reports are signed off, and yet serious problems are already taking root beneath the surface.
This highly engaging lunch and learn webinar is designed for senior leaders and transformation teams involved in complex change and Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). Matthew Oleniuk, former senior public sector executive and founder of The Risk Insider, will challenge how we assess project health and show why the most dangerous risks rarely appear in routine reporting.

Drawing on real‑world public sector experience, Matthew will explore the subtle early warning signs that indicate a project is drifting into trouble, long before deadlines are missed or issues become public. You will learn how formal dashboards can create blind spots, why uncomfortable truths often stay hidden, and what leaders can do to surface risk earlier and strengthen oversight during periods of major organisational change.
This session will be particularly valuable for those leading or supporting LGR programmes, large transformation initiatives, or high‑profile projects where failure is not an option.

Who should come along

• Senior leaders and directors
• Transformation and change leaders
• LGR project and programme teams
• PMOs, governance and assurance professionals

About the speaker

Matthew Oleniuk is a former public-sector senior executive with more than 15 years of experience providing oversight of major government projects. He has seen firsthand how serious issues stay invisible to leaders and how splintered team dynamics can quietly put a project on the path to collapse. Through The Risk Insider, Matthew shows public service leaders how to see the truth earlier, surface what dashboards miss, and lead complex projects with clarity, confidence, and fewer late-stage surprises.
