Menzies Leadership Forum

Liz Gillies, CEO of Menzies Foundation sat down with Dr Ariella Helfgott, CEO Collaborative Futures, where they considered various aspects of the Citizen Leadership and Community Resilience initiative and the contribution that the insights will have for both Australian communities coping with crisis and the national leadership discourse.

As leaders everywhere are being challenged we're all having to do things that are extremely unfamiliar to us. The tragedies of COVID are only one part of the last 9 months. This time, right now, is what we can describe as the "Great Reset”; a sudden shock, and rapid acceleration. This is followed by the "Great Reinvention"; the required rapid transformation of the businesses we are managing. This is our opportunity to rethink our value propositions of the past toward the new world we need to navigate. Adam Salzer and Menzies Foundation Board member, Tony Surtees will look at where we are now and options about where we could go next. How we as leaders can help the teams we lead, cope and prosper as we navigate this period of unprecedented change.

2019 Menzies Science Entrepreneur Fellows, Dr Melony Sellars and Dr Simon Gross speak of their fellowship journey, challenges and leadership.

The Foundation is partnering with ANU Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell, Director of the 3A Institute, to develop an intensive leadership program for an AI future. Focused on the cutting edge of understanding the skills and capabilities required for this future, the program will focus on the type of leader and leadership attributes required to lead in an increasingly connected, complex and adaptive world. Liz Gillies, CEO sat down with Professor Genevieve Bell to discuss the new initiative and consider the future leadership landscape.
