Leadership Webinar

Recasting Your Workplace For Resilience

How to lead sustainable transformation that is human-driven and enabled by tech

Drawing on the psychology of change, design thinking and agile culture, this webinar for business leaders, gives you a simple framework to reappraise your priorities, culture, and ways of working, so they are fit for purpose for these turbulent times. Don’t miss the opportunity to rebound out of this period stronger and with greater resilience.

‘No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it’ — Einstein

Shock events, like COVID-19, give us both  – as individuals and organisations – an opportunity to pause, reflect and reset 

This participatory session engages delegates to share insights through collaborative learning. Actionable insights and ideas to inform your new strategy playbook are generated through real-time research, breakout groups, and playback sessions. Results will be revealed instantly in the session using social technology.

Participants will leave with an inventory of lessons learned from the pandemic and a simple three-step approach to building a resilient workplace and agile culture. We also provide a series of post-workshop resources as part of a rapid learning pathway.

“Great event Debi Garrod and Ann Longley!

Refreshing to see an agile event (light on slides, heavy on empathy and participation) … a design thinking approach is going to be so important for organisations to redesign how their workforce comes together wherever they may be sitting.”

“Great session Debi Garrod Ann Longley! Inspired me to take a lead and go forward with an idea from a key worker friend and suggest we offer up extra parking at my work to help community NHS staff park closer to their office when collecting PPE, other kit and when they need to go into their office. Approved!!

Thanks for reminding me we can all change our workplaces -even little things matter”
