Networking Lunch (Brisbane): Reinventing for Relevance: A Transformational Process
This event is now closed for online registrations, if you would like to attend please email events@ausae.org.au.
The Networking
We invite you to take a couple of hours out of your day to connect with others in the industry to discuss high level topics of real importance, develop new relationships and gain critical information. This is a rare opportunity to network with other CEOs and senior management professionals from charities, associations and other non-profit organisations. Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.
The Topic
Change is constant and as any seasoned executive knows, managing change to reinvent a business is one of the hardest challenges any of us can face.
In 2012, Stephen Tait joined CCIQ with a mandate to reinvent an organisation struggling for relevance and position in a fast moving and rapidly evolving economy. Often portrayed as pale, male, grey and stale, CCIQ was under pressure to grow membership, improve results and ensure a long term sustainable future.
A radical approach to change saw CCIQ become a 150 year old start-up, with a culture focussed on innovation, shared values and a defined strategy. As a result, CCIQ has entered a sustained period of growth resulting in a record membership numbers, unparalleled reach and ever increasing influence and engagement.
In his address, Stephen will outline the steps CCIQ has gone through on their journey and provide you with insights, knowledge and experience of this truly transformational process.
The Speaker
Stephen Tait, Chief Executive Officer at Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCIQ) Queensland
Stephen is fiercely committed to ensuring Queensland’s 400,000 small businesses continue to be the driving force of the state’s social and economic prosperity and are actively supported in their desire to innovate and adapt to the challenges of the future economy.
His passion for small business saw him become CEO of CCIQ (Chamber of Commerce & Industry Queensland) in 2012.
With a vision to reinvent and rejuvenate an industry association through the creation and provision of comprehensive advice, relevant services and essential tools for small and medium sized businesses, he turned CCIQ into a 150-year-old start-up, revolutionising its culture, performance, and value to reflect the passion and energy of the small business community.
Originally from Scotland and coming to Brisbane via a track record of achievement and success forged in global media, in London, Melbourne and Sydney, Stephen is a noted speaker, passionate advocate and driver of change and represents CCIQ and the interests of small business as a member of several Government, Enterprise and Non-Profit Boards in Queensland.
