In this episode, we are joined by Wendy Searle, Senior Press Officer at the Ministry of Defence and Steve Jones, Planning & Expeditions Manager at Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE). In the Antarctic summer of 2019-2020, Wendy trekked solo, unsupported and unassisted some 720 miles on skis from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole. Only 1 of 7 women in the world to have accomplished this feat. Steve and the team at ALE oversaw the training and preparation, as well as the overall logistics on the ground. The topic of conversation today is planning - an important component of project management and often, the differentiating factor between success and failure. Both Wendy and Steve have shown their exemplary planning capability, along with the dedication and perseverance to achieve their goals. Click to listen to the full episode.
