About this Event

Registration from 9.00am with pastries and a chance to network. We'll then hand over to Darren who will take you through the session.

The morning will culminate with a superb buffet lunch at 12noon and further networking, we'll then return to the session until approximately 4.00pm. This is one event not to be missed!


This high-level strategic session is designed to help senior leaders cut through complexity and focus on sustainable, competitive growth.


We’ll explore how to define a clear purpose, align culture with goals, and adapt to external pressures without losing momentum. Ideal for leaders seeking clarity on where to focus their time, people and investments in the next 12–36 months.
