Learn to lead with innovation, promote collaboration, and drive resilient community-centered outcomes in a dynamic 2-hour session. Planners and engineers sometimes struggle to collaborate across planning processes, which can result in challenges for successful project development and implementation. This session offers an engaging experience with a panel discussion and interactive workshop with real-world project insights to help bridge the gap between planning and engineering. Hear lessons learned from interdisciplinary projects tackling stormwater, climate resilience, and One Water planning on O‘ahu. Learn how collaborative approaches can drive meaningful outcomes and how stakeholder engagement can be the key to unlocking project success. The breakout session is an opportunity to share your experiences, uncover what works and what doesn’t, and crowdsource solutions with fellow practitioners. You’ll leave with actionable techniques to apply to your own projects and programs.
