Keynote: Taking action

Sharath will share an initial provocation on how leaders can rebuild public trust in their organisations in challenging times, building on Leora’s emphasis on creating public value. He will particularly focus on deepening relationships within our organisations and with our communities, and moving away from transactional approaches. Sharath will also encourage us to together create different definitions of accountability. He will then host a fireside chat with trust leaders, Jim Lauder and Moira Marder, to explore how they have been applying these approaches in their organisations, and the early successes they have seen. Jim and Moira will be able to share the new leadership mindsets and behaviours that have been part and parcel of this journey – and how they have overcome resistance and obstacles. Sharath will then give us all space to discuss this theme and share our thoughts. This will be a fast-paced, interactive session. We encourage you to sit next to someone you don't already know to make new connections and share new ideas.

Keynote: Final reflections

Sharath will help us to reflect together on what we have learned and discovered as a community around the themes of public value, relational capital, and building new definitions of accountability. We’ll have a chance for individual, pair and whole group reflection to help us consolidate the deep insights and perspectives we’ve been exposed to over the course of the two days. We’ll also discuss how we may collectively want to move this agenda forward, and who we need to engage in that process. Sharath will also ask Jim and Moira and other audience members to share their key reflections around this.
