inspiration from the masters of complex long term planning

So, your organisation is going through some changes? Operationalising purpose, shifting culture, transforming with AI or managing a merger – whatever it is, there are big challenges to think about. Sometimes a spark of inspiration from elsewhere can unlock answers.

And you can’t get more ‘elsewhere’ than space….

Humans haven’t left earth orbit since 1972. But hundreds of robotic space probes have been busily exploring the solar system, and there are more than 30 telescopes in space unlocking the secrets of the universe for scientists down below. These missions each take decades to plan, build, launch and run, and involve hundreds of organisations and thousands of people all over the world. In this visually stunning session, Liz unpacks 7 little lessons from these space explorers, selected with the lens of her 30-year career helping organisations navigate change. With little-known stories, facts and breathtaking moments this offers inspiration from the masters of complex long term planning who push the boundaries of human understanding.

Ideal for: any boards, leadership teams or operational teams that are responsible for driving change, facing significant challenges, or simply curious minds that enjoy a fresh perspective

Testimonials

“ It was pure engagement from the get go. Liz’s combination of down to earth talking and stunning visuals, brimming with passion for science and a deep rich approach to the subject, is why she can bring ‘hard to reach’ concepts into focus. Liz let [the children’s] sense of wonder overtake any inhibitions about ‘knowing stuff’. ”
