Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.

The Topic

In his address, Matthew will discuss how to navigate leadership through a consistently changing external environment by discussing the following key points: 

• Setting a directional theme when taking on a new role – “relocation, restructure, sophistication” – in the case of CAA it involved moving the national office, driving a restructure process and improving the performance of the organisation internally and externally
  
• The power of governance in facilitating change – setting strategy and improving performance; focussing on organisational risk and the importance of reputational management
  
• Culture, people and performance – focussing on the right things whilst juggling many issues
  
• Reputation management and advocacy to avoid a train wreck
  
• Staying focused on the business during change
