A key lever for
change in any sector, is the capacity to challenge current
thinking about a problem or situation. The Engaging Young Leaders on Aged Care
and Community Boards 10th Unconvention ‘Disruption in the Board Room’ aims to do just that. We are bringing
Board Directors, CEOs, Senior Executives and academia together to improve Board
governance in the not for profit sector.
We know that organisations need to innovate to survive, but do we really
need to disrupt?
Governments at both the State and Federal levels are disrupting the aged
care industry and community services sector. To set up for success we need to
continuously reinvent our organisations in light of new technologies, new
entrants into our markets and new customers wanting different services and
products to meet their changing needs.
This Unconvention explores
how to think like a disruptor so your NFP board and organisation is not left
behind.
Innovation and disruption - some argue they are two sides of the same coin
– others argue that disruptors are innovators, but not all innovators are
disruptors. As leaders we need to position our organisations and we need to be
smart and ambitious in recognising disruption is inevitable.
We need to innovate and adopt the practice of disruption as a strategy
so we learn and work through how to manage it.
I hope I see you there!
