What an inspirational panel led by strong female change-makers! While conversations about indigenous rights and climate justice are for everyone, as an engineer I especially draw motivation from discussions on the nexus of climate change, resilience, and global development. … My big takeaways… 1. The construction industry needs to be engaging with the local communities in our development projects. Their role is more than providing a signature on a form, they need to be engaged as key stakeholders and involved throughout the process. Listen to their desires and values. 2. Don’t just rebuild, rebuild better. Learn from our engineering pitfalls, and built back infrastructure to a higher level of resilience. With resilient structure there is often a higher embodied carbon cost, we must find the balance between material intensity and engineering to “future proof” our hazard prone communities. Global warming is increasing the recurrence and intensity of many extreme weather events, how can we engineer to meet future demands? 3. Every new infrastructure project can be a green-infrastructure project. Can we build in a way that enhances the community experience and rather than building to meet a need? Are there opportunities to promote low carbon transit, implement solar, reduce heat-island effect, or cultivate community? … Thanks Oxfam Aotearoa

One of our users and their team sets up and manages 600 events a year 🤯 Everything from small events (30 people) to larger ones (200-300). To fill a 80-100 seat event they invite 1,000 people. That's a 10% registration rate. They also overbook events because from their experience, 20-25% of registered guests will turn into no-shows or last-minute de-registrations. That's up from 10-12% pre-COVID. There's a lot that goes into setting up and managing just one professional event. Now multiply that by 600. Hat off to event managers for that performance 👏🏻

Fellow Chiefs of Staff! I am thrilled to say that I will be participating in the #ChiefofStaffConnect in NYC on Oct 17 & 18, hosted by Chief of Staff Network. I hope to see you there. There are still some tickets available... Full #COSC2024 details: https://lnkd.in/ewPXPj3r We’re bringing together 120+ select senior chiefs of staff from across industries and geographies for two days full of discussion, problem-solving, and fun. With this year’s theme – “Company Blueprints & Chief of Staff Toolkits” – our aim is to give you actionable takeaways on strategy and tactics, not just rose-colored-glasses stories and impractical theories. This is not your cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all conference. You’ll choose which sessions are most valuable to you and most sessions will be highly interactive, with case studies, live problem-solving sessions, workshops, and discussions. You’ll leave Chief of Staff Connect armed with inspiration from the strategic sessions, actual playbooks from the tactical sessions, and a community of other senior Chiefs to continue the conversation long after the event is done. #OpentoWork #ChiefofStaff #Leadership #Strategy #Operations #BoardGovernance #DataAnalytics #GrowthMindset #CLevelSupport #StrategicLeadership #ProcessImprovement #OperationsExcellence #StakeholderEngagement #GlobalPerspective #Innovation #Generalist #SocialImpact #RemoteWork #HybridWork
