Overview
This webinar takes a straightforward look at how DBs function in various parts of the world and what those experiences tell us about the ways in which they add value to projects. This conversational discussion will touch on the practical realities of setting up DBs and the challenges that often arise once projects are underway.
Speakers will draw on situations where DBs have supported parties in resolving issues before they escalate, as well as examples where the process hasn’t been as effective, highlighting the reasons behind this. The session will also consider what other approaches are available and which may be better suited to the needs of a project, especially where the dynamics, constraints or culture make DBs harder to implement. Attendees will come away with a clearer sense of what helps DBs succeed, what can get in the way, and how lessons learned can help improve outcomes in future projects. The aim is to offer a practical and open conversation based on real experience.
