In keeping with the theme of exploration and discovery, mountaineer, broadcaster and author Sir Chris Bonington will join us at XPO North. Expect Sir Chris to draw vivid parallels between the mountaineering and expedition process and the challenging facing organisations as they go through transformation.

Chris will focus on critical skills like leadership, teamwork, agility and crisis management in the face of adversity.

After his presentation, there will be an opportunity to meet the man of the mountain and request a signature.
