The plan is clear. So why is the project not moving? Working the hidden bottleneck

Even when every stakeholder agrees and action items appear straightforward, cross-functional projects frequently stall. Rather than focusing on what new tasks to start, this evening session investigates the subtle, well-intentioned practices that inadvertently guarantee an initiative never moves forward.

Participants will reflect on real-world patterns across organizations and collaborate with fellow project leaders to identify shared friction points. The goal is to pinpoint concrete behaviors that can be stopped immediately to unlock team progress.

What to expect

• An unconventional diagnostic approach to identifying invisible project bottlenecks
• Peer discussions comparing operational friction across different industries
• Practical clarity on which project-protecting habits are actually causing delay
• A ready-to-use framing question to evaluate your own team's delivery hurdles
