Too much V-U-C-A (Volatility Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity) in our lives? Maybe there's a little less for Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce members who attended yesterday's Business Skills at Lunch Series delivered by leadership practitioner Andrew Fox. Andrew introduced some great tools to help share whakapapa, build rapport, and trust. The biggest takeaway for emerging leaders was that it starts with knowing and leading yourself whatever stage of your career. We were left feeling much better with a V-U-C-A that we could control - Values Unity Certainty and Agility. Ka pai, Andrew!

We had a full house for yesterday's Capability at Lunch session—'Budget 25 and Social Investment', presented by Emily Mason, Managing Director at FrankGroup (FrankAdvice/FrankCapability). Emily explored what the Social Investment Budget means for the public service, diving into three key themes—defining social investment, understanding people’s needs through data and evidence, and the importance of ensuring that all providers—ministers, agencies, advisors, and non-government organizations—know their responsibilities. She encouraged participants to reflect on the power they hold in their roles. So, what did we learn? ⭐ Social investment is essential for ensuring government work truly serves the public. ⭐ Using data to help understand a need empowers public servants to make a real impact. ⭐ Clear accountability is vital for all providers in the ecosystem. Given the topic our audience was from the public sector and not for profit spaces, navigating a landscape of change. We’re thankful to Emily for fostering a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
