Charting the Future: A Framework for thinking about Change
Simply by sailing in a new direction, you could enlarge the world
Allen Curnow
In this free zoom session the authors of the just released paper "Charting the Future: A framework for thinking about change" (Craig Fisher, consultant at RSM NZ and Steven Moe, Partner at Parry Field Lawyers) will share what it covers. Taking inspiration from the Allen Curnow quote above about exploration and charting new territory, the purpose of the "Thought and Action Paper" is to apply critical thinking about what the questions are that we need to be asking at this time.
In the paper we outline 7 critical questions that we think Boards and leaders need to be considering when they are 'charting the future' and looking to the new environment we find ourselves in. While the paper has a focus on Charities, Community Groups and Not for Profits, the challenges will be equally applicable to other organisations.
