📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers
Sat, Sep 19, 12:30 AM📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

Journey Management: an emerging practice that’s changing the way we lead
Thu, Sep 17, 8:00 AMIt’s safe to say that by now, Journey Mapping is familiar territory for many organisations. Yet what actually happens to Journey Maps and Service Blueprints once the project or workshop ends? The hours of synthesis, the pain points, and the hard-won customer insights are often archived in hidden folders or left on walls as wallpaper, rarely referred to in daily decisions. They become static relics as the organisation moves on. Journey Management is an emerging global management practice that turns static maps into a dynamic information system that acts as the backbone of operational and strategic decision-making. But how does an organisation make the shift from static maps to an active management practice? Join MDT for this exciting panel of speakers who talk about how they are developing and scaling their Journey Management practice. **What you'll hear:** ✨ **The Global State of Journey Management 2026:** Which organisations are investing in Journey Management around the world, the reasons why and a case for Strategic Service Design as a leadership capability ✨ **Creating a living management information system:** The challenges associated with building a living information system, going from static to dynamic maps ✨ **Scaling practices across the organisation:** What leaders are required to do to scale this practice across different teams effectively ✨ **Case studies from practitioners:** Key lessons from practitioners as they formalise and scale their practice. **📌 The details:** * Date: Thursday 17th September * Host: Melbourne Design Thinking Meetup x Natural Velocity Innovation Centre * Refreshments included: Pizza and fizz! Our Speakers: **Anna Yip** *Design Leader \| Co\-Author of This is Journey Management \(the book\) and Lead Researcher of The Global State of Journey Management Study 2026* Anna is the co-author of *This is Journey Management (the book)* and lead researcher of *The Global State of Journey Management Study 2026*. Over the last 10 months, she has led a global study on how Journey Management practices have been rapidly evolving and are changing the way managers lead in complex and dynamic environments. This study is the largest global study on Journey Management to date and is the cornerstone of the upcoming book, *This is Journey Management.* Anna Lectures Strategic Customer Experience (CX) at RMIT, consults with organisations and coaches practitioners on advancing their management capabilities. In her spare time, she’s the organiser of Journey Management Monthly Australia and co-organiser of Melbourne Design Thinkers. **David Mulholland** *Associate Director of Service Experience & Design \| University of Melbourne* David Mulholland has spent over 14 years turning complex, tangled service ecosystems into intuitive, human-centred experiences. Spanning UX, CX, and Service Design, his career is built on bridging the gap between lofty strategic visions and the reality of how things actually work on the ground. As the Associate Director of Service Experience & Design within the Enterprise Services Group (ESG) at the University of Melbourne. He heads a multidisciplinary team of User Research & Insights, Service, Digital, and AI Experience Designers. Together, they don't just design screens; they architect end-to-end service blueprints that connect the student experience, improve and automate mundane staff processes, and weave apps, AI experiences, and cross-channel strategies into one cohesive university journey. By translating deep insights into scalable journey systems, David consistently drives tangible results, boosting student engagement, improving staff experience, and unlocking new operational efficiencies. When he isn't mapping complex user journeys or mentoring his team, he brings that same methodical creativity to his downtime, exploring agentic AI tools and vibe coding to bring his own digital side-projects to life. **Keirice Farley** *Customer Experience Design Chapter Lead / 7/11* Keirice Farley is a creative problem solver, design and customer experience leader working at the intersection of strategy, systems thinking, and human-centred design. She leads enterprise experience design across complex, omni-channel environments, helping organisations reduce friction, improve decision quality, and deliver sustainable value at scale. Keirice is known for translating abstract design and CX concepts into practical leadership frameworks that resonate with executives, operators, and product teams alike. Her work focuses on uncovering ‘experience debt’, the hidden cost of compromised decisions. Then helping organisations pay it down through better judgment, governance, and accountability. In her spare time, Keirice takes Korean Language classes, watches Real Housewives (for research purposes 😉), enjoys coffee shop hopping and reads books that improve her craft.
