We are absolutely delighted to host Michael Sahota in collaboration with Business Agility Meet Up Sydney to discuss the topic of his new book: "Leading Beyond Change: A Practical Guide to Evolving Business Agility".

Please note that this event is at 8am due to the speaker's timezone.

--- Overview of the event ---
There is much attention on the organisational pursuit of Business Agility and other new ways of working to meet the demands of the changing world. Yet, most of what people believe about leadership, effective workplaces, and how to create lasting change is either incomplete or outright incorrect. And even if the desire to change is there, understanding of how to achieve it is elusive. The emergence of a high-performance organisation is wholly dependent on the evolution of those holding power. Ultimately, the only way to scale is with people.

--- Outcomes ---
• Introduction of the SHIFT314 Evolutionary Leadership Framework™ (SELF) as a coherent set of maps and principles to navigate from the current organisational reality to a more adaptable future
• Presentation of an integrated understanding of culture, leadership and organisational change needed to unlock Business Agility
