This evening talk hosted at the KBR Sydney office puts design management front and centre, asking how the profession plans, procures, coordinates, and ultimately delivers design across complex infrastructure and building projects.<\/p>\n<p>Presented in partnership with the Institution of Civil Engineers, the session draws on real-world experience to explore where design management adds value, where it is frequently misunderstood, and what a stronger culture of design leadership within project teams might look like. For architects, engineers, and project professionals working in delivery-focused environments, it is a timely conversation about the gap between design intent and built outcome \u2014 and what it takes to close it.<\/p>\n<p>The event is held at KBR&#8217;s Level 13 offices on Kent Street, Sydney. Registration is via the ICE website. The evening format typically includes a presentation followed by Q&#038;A and networking.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:32px 0; border-radius:12px; overflow:hidden; box-shadow:0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=201+Kent+Street+Sydney+NSW+2000&#038;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0; display:block;\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A professional evening talk at KBR Sydney exploring the often-overlooked discipline of design management \u2014 how the built environment industry plans, procures, and delivers design at scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10838,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","footnotes":""},"categories":[44,79,19,56],"tags":[],"location":[72],"class_list":["post-10764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-events","category-aus-events","category-events","category-talks-panels-and-lectures","location-sydney"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10769,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10764\/revisions\/10769"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/10838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10764"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=10764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
