Leading When The Ground Keeps Moving

Change Management, Human and AI teams, Building your Influence.

5:30 pm – 8:30 pm AEST. Thursday, 10 September.

Save my spot!

Restructures. Acquisitions. AI reshaping how work gets done. You're managing more complexity in work and leaders at every level are being asked to perform at their best while the ground shifts beneath them.

So how can you adapt, influence and stay ahead?

We’re bringing together distinct practitioners, each with different skills and expertise to help you bridge the gap in modern work.

  • Change management: What it actually takes to hold a team together through disruption, uncertainty, and the decisions that don’t have a playbook.
  • Human and AI teams, the new leadership frontier: How the best leaders are working alongside AI without losing the human edge that makes them irreplaceable.
  • Building influence and reputation: Grow trust, galvanise a team and extend your impact across an organisation

 

What can you expect?

No panels. No theory for theory’s sake. Just real insight and practical takeaways from people supporting leaders doing the work, rethinking the skills modern workforces need, followed by conversations that only happen when curious people are in the same room.

  • Fast-paced 5 minutes presentations
  • Diverse range of speakers across a spectrum from corporate to change management
  • A focus on innovation, creativity and bold perspectives
  • Actionable inspiration
  • Networking, open discussion and connection

Is this for you?

You’ll get a lot out of this evening if you’re:

  • A mid-career or senior leader looking to build confidence and their reputation
  • Navigating change or managing a team or stakeholders during uncertainty
  • Responsible for people or capability strategy and looking for fresh frameworks and new perspectives
  • Someone who is keen to be in a room of curious and ambitious people
