In this episode Project journal editor Emma De Vita meets Richard Noble, the leader of some truly awe-inspiring British extreme speed projects on land, at sea and in the air. These included bringing the Land speed record back to Britain in 1983 when he drove his Thrust 2 car to 633mph, and 14 years later he led the Thrust SCC team to achieve the first supersonic record at 763 mph. He’s also the man behind the Bloodhound project with the mission to reach 1,000mph on land, and to inspire generations of new engineers and scientists through a pioneering educational programme.

He outlines what it takes to lead projects like this, why embracing risk makes for innovation, and how to motivate teams.

If you want to find out more, look out for his contribution to the forthcoming summer issue of APM’s Project journal, and get a copy of his book Take Risk!, published by EVRO.
