About this Event
Transformation isn’t slowing down.
But leadership capacity is being stretched.
When pressure rises, friction surfaces - between teams, priorities, and decisions.
Most organisations still default to treating change as a delivery problem.
The real tension sits in how leadership actually operates - in bandwidth, interdependencies, trust erosion, and execution strain.
This is not a workshop.
It’s not a panel.
And it’s not a networking mixer.
It’s a curated, in-person executive forum for candid conversation about leading transformation under sustained pressure.
Who This Is For
Executives, General Managers, Transformation Leads and senior leaders navigating sustained change and organisational complexity - regardless of industry.
This room is intentionally small to maintain depth and quality of discussion.
What You’ll Leave With
- Clearer language to articulate and address friction slowing execution
- Candid perspective from peers carrying similar complexity and leadership load
- A more deliberate approach to leading across interdependencies under pressure
