Does your organisation decision-making feel like a cage fight?

Does your organisation decision-making feel like a cage fight?

Thu, Sep 3, 7:30 AM
From Melbourne Business Agility Meetup
4.7

📌 **How to Manage Conflict Respectfully** What if constant compromise is actually the real problem? By always trying to meet in the middle, organisations usually end up with a lukewarm solution that satisfies absolutely no one. If your "evaporating conflict clouds" look more like corporate smog and are disappearing faster than an AI consultant's empty promises... it’s time for a rethink! Join the ebullient (but brilliant) **[Ross MacIntyre](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rossxmacintyre/)** and his demonic sidekick, [Martin the Cheeseburger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinchesbrough/), in a live illustration of **the OST process for Rationalising Conflict.** 💡 **Why This Matters Today** Managing conflict is a vital skill in the modern toolkit for surviving in an organisation. 🛠️ **What You’ll Learn (No Prior Knowledge Needed!)** * **Rationalising Conflict:** A practical conflict management technique developed by Fred Emery as part of his innovative strategic planning workshops. * **The Art of Productive Disagreement:** How teams can disagree passionately, respect each others values, and move on together—without harboring lifelong grudges. Ross and Martin will teach by doing. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to stop dodging friction and start turning it into operational momentum. Thanks to TeamForm, our event sponsor for providing a great place to meet and refreshments. Look at [teamform](https://teamform.co) for visualising your delivery teaming structures whether they be persistent or project based, and for desigining and operating the workforce behind them - given the work, aligning the right roles today and into the future. https://teamform.co/

Group Chat #1: Me, Myself & AI

Group Chat #1: Me, Myself & AI

Sun, Aug 23, 1:30 AM
From The Group Chat — but in person

**Group Chat #1: Me, Myself & AI** 🫖 Saturday brunch, one long table, twelve women from everywhere and one question: *what is AI actually doing to us?* What's one thing you've stopped doing since AI started doing it for you? Do you trust your own taste more or less than a year ago? What are we handing over without noticing and what should we absolutely keep? No pitches, no panels, no tech knowledge required — if you've ever used ChatGPT (or refused to), you're qualified. **You'll leave with:** a new community, a short list of reads, films and resources to keep pulling the thread and a say in what we talk about next. Every session ends with the table proposing the next topic and swapping recommendations, so this becomes *our* reading list, not a syllabus. **Format:** we go around with a question, then we talk. That's it. **Bring:** yourself. Order whatever you like (everyone covers their own). **Only 12 seats.** Small on purpose, so everyone actually gets to talk. Come as you are. Leave with better questions. 📍 Higher Ground, 650 Little Bourke St · 🗓 Sun 22 Aug · ⏰ 11:30am–1:20 pm

Frequently asked questions

A CEO Roundtable is a gathering where business leaders come together to discuss strategies, share experiences, and exchange ideas. Participants gain valuable insights and deepen their knowledge through collaborative conversations in a supportive environment.

Search for Melbourne-specific events on Meetup using the location filter. This will help you discover local gatherings like CEO roundtables where business leaders convene to share expertise and grow their network.

Roundtables attract business CEOs and professionals seeking to share insights and challenges. The environment fosters learning and collaboration among peers, allowing for a deeper understanding and new perspectives on business challenges.

Participation often depends on individual event requirements. Some roundtables welcome senior executives from various levels, while others focus specifically on CEOs. Check the event details on Meetup for specific prerequisites.

Typically, Meetup is free or low-cost, but specific events may have fees. Review the event’s information page to find out about any associated costs and to understand what benefits are included when joining the roundtable.

You can RSVP directly on the Meetup page for the event. This helps organizers plan better and keeps you in the loop regarding event updates or changes. Simply click 'RSVP' and follow any additional instructions provided.

Location and preference determine if events are online or in-person. For Melbourne's CEO roundtables, check the event listing for a specific mode of interaction planned by the hosts. Options may vary depending on the organizer's logistics.

Frequency varies based on organizer planning. Some may host monthly or quarterly gatherings, while others occur less regularly. Keep an eye on Meetup listings to stay updated on new events and their scheduling.

Meetup is designed for group interactions rather than individual matchmaking. Through its structured events, participants meet several people with similar interests, fostering community interaction and networking.

Topics can vary by event but typically focus on common business challenges and trends. Ensure you review event descriptions to understand the specific subjects covered, helping you choose the roundtables that best suit your interests.

Event styles differ, with some organized with strict agendas and others more open-ended. Familiarize yourself with the chosen roundtable's setup by reading the event details on Meetup, ensuring it aligns with your participation objectives.

Events are organized by individual groups, not Meetup itself. Hosts or group organizers manage the agenda, location, and logistics while Meetup connects interested participants through their platform.

If no local roundtables are available, consider exploring online events or even initiating your own group. Meetup provides tools to connect with new members, engage attendees, and build a community around your interests.

While Meetup fosters connections, achieving personal or business growth depends on active participation and engagement. Success stems from leveraging insights and networks created during events to drive personal leadership development.

Availability varies by city and organizer activity. If particular events aren't available in Melbourne, keep an eye on Meetup for new opportunities, as communities continually evolve and grow.
