Thursday 7 April: Online
Forward Focus, Future Thinking is about having an emphasis on being flexible and keeping the human touch. We must adapt to the new norm, look ahead whilst staying dynamic. But where is it heading?
With communities as the common reference point and driving force for change, our sector needs to be innovative to overcome the challenges that hold us all back from our full potential. While New Zealand is a small country, we are made up of many communities and each of these have their own hopes and needs.
While our personal impulse is to look at community initiatives that produce comprehensive change from the get-go, reality informs us that resources are limited, the political will is often weak, organisational capacity is lacking and trusted leaders are often missing. We need to start smaller to go bigger – nailing those small ‘wins’ that build strength and our confidence that we can indeed make a difference.
This conference presents thought leaders, dreamers, doers, experts and dedicated believers that we can make a positive difference across the lives we touch. They will share their sense belief, their rationale, the skills, the tools and good oil – and we hope that they fire up your inspiration. The emphasis is on “doing” – rather than the endless talking and planning that sometimes dominates our lives. They will encourage you to be ruthless in who you run with and build a new can-do narrative.
We invite you to come, contribute and participate in what will be one of the most exciting events of 2022.
Can't make all the sessions? No worries, if you register you will have access to the recordings from the day.
PROGRAMME

Melissa Clark Reynolds - Trends, NFPs and Future caring organisations
This session will cover business model Innovation, future of payments and nature of the gifting & giving economies
9.55 - 10.40am
Mavis Mullins - Embedding VUCA as our Norm
The comfortability of setting a plan with rigid milestones and hard wired timeframes, must surely be gone as the needs of our communities change and the globalised world we live in heaves and grinds. How cool as we start to make things such as volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity a normal lens. And then as we overlay our cultural lens’ we find ancient tikanga, pukoro and waiata becoming part of our navigation toolkit to manage these interesting times!
10.40 - 10.55 am Morning break
10.55 -11.40am
Anthony Heffernan & Jamie Cattell - An XRB update on recent improvements to NFP Reporting Standards

11.40 – 12.25pm
David Downes - Meaning over Happiness

12.25 - 1.00pm Lunch break
1.00 – 1.45pm
Aly Mc Nicoll - The Big Reset: leading hybrid teams through the big return to work
Teamwork already requires a great deal of co-ordination and collaboration. Having been plunged in to a virtual world, it is even more important for leaders to ensure people's efforts are aligned, that they stay engaged and work effectively ‘together apart’ as we navigate flexibly through this return to work phase. This workshop will look at getting the balance right between the needs of the organisation, the team and the individuals, working remotely - setting people up to succeed, leading conversations about hybrid working arrangements and what to do when and where - using the office differently for the big return.
1.45 - 2.30pm
Moya Sayer-Jones - Learn to believe in the value of your stories
One thing that so often stands in the way of wanting to share a story, especially at work, is the fear that it just isn’t useful enough. Or interesting enough. So we keep our head down… and often kick ourselves for it later!
Want to change that? You can build confidence in the value of your stories with just 5 simple words. "And so I realised that..." In this session, you'll learn Moya's simple way to get clear on the essential meaning of any story you want to share. This clarity will not only drive your story home, it will liberate others to share their voices too.
2.30 – 3.00pm
Rob Campbell - Trying to Rebuild a Flying Plane
This session will focus on the Pae Ora Health reforms. The interim bodies are reorganising governance and management of the public health system while that system continues both its normal and its pandemic services. There is never an ideal time to make substantive changes. Rob will discuss the challenges and the principles being applied in this case.
3.00pm Questions, discussion time, thank you and close of day
