DISRUPT BAU (Business As Usual) — Sydney CBD

DISRUPT BAU is a series of in-depth, disruptive panel discussions with senior leaders and experts that challenges the role of business in our society. Our very own Acting CEO, Meegan George will be facilitating the Leadership in Action discussion.

Brought to you by Humanity In Business, this series identifies what it will take for business leaders to regain trust of the consumer and other stakeholders as well as what are the actions we have to collectively take as a business community to regain the social license to operate.

How do companies take the opportunity to create wealth by being of service to society and not seeing company activity as an opportunity to appropriate wealth by exploiting society?

Leadership in Action — November 27 5.30pm to 7.30pm Shifting from ‘Can we do this?’ to ‘Should we do this? How do leaders shift the dial internally to get the team to consider the consequences and implications of their proposals/decisions rather than simply whether they can execute them? What needs to happen to remuneration frameworks and incentive structures to
