Data-Driven Insights to Support Long-Term Planning

About the Session

In sectors like water and transport, long-term planning is more than just looking ahead — it's about shaping a future that is resilient, informed, and sustainable. In this compelling session, Shaun—an experienced leader in both sectors—shares how data can become a strategic enabler rather than a reporting afterthought.

Drawing from real-world experiences, Shaun unpacks the critical elements of effective long-term planning:
• Understanding the lifecycle of assets
• Evaluating costs, risks, and environmental impacts
• Identifying interdependencies and enablers
• Embedding data-driven insights into strategy

He’ll also explore how outdated or irrelevant data can undermine major decisions—and what can be done about it.

Why Attend?

• Learn strategies to secure quality, context-relevant data
