The concept of the Learning Legacy programme has been around for longer than you might think. Starting at London 2012, collating and sharing knowledge, innovation, good practice and lessons learned from major projects has developed in a number of ways to get to where we currently reside.

In this first episode we’ll take a look back at other major projects and their approach to knowledge sharing, and we’ll explore how HS2 has gone about creating the most comprehensive Learning Legacy programme of any major UK project to date.

Featuring:

• Bridget Badoe McQuick – HS2, Learning Legacy Manager
  
  
• Karen Elson – Co Cre8, Learning Legacy Manager
  
  
• Simon Bennett – Crossrail International, Associate Director for stakeholder engagement and Learning Legacy
  
  
• Andy Murray – Major Project Association, Executive Director
  
  
• Clive Roberts – University of Birmingham, Professor of Railway Systems

Bridget gives an overview of HS2’s Learning Legacy programme and its open challenges.

Karen takes us back to London 2012 with the start of Learning Legacy and the journey of the programmes over the years that brought us to where we are now.

Simon and Andy describe the setup of Crossrail’s Learning Legacy and the MPA’s Knowledge Hub. Their collective experience and support made each programme better than the previous and to have it all in one place within the Knowledge Hub.

Clive and Martin give their thoughts on the importance of HS2’s Learning Legacy Programme for the wider industry.

“Obviously, the main focus of any big major project is to deliver that project. But the legacy is important as well, because that is what shifts the industry on. It’s what we learn from.”
