With our world becoming more reliant on the internet and online interactions, it is important to think about how this change can potentially affect us. From the workplace to home and at school, the idea of existing in almost two different realities and the pressures they exert on us can be difficult to comprehend let alone manage. This workshop is designed to look at the pressures of the online world and how to understand and manage those pressures, in essence, how to look after your digital wellbeing.

Techweek22 will explore and showcase the unique characteristics of the tech and innovation sector, which is growing rapidly. Techweek is about people, relationships, community, and connectedness. Join us for a useful workshop from innovation leader, Dorenda Britten.

This half day workshop, presented by Dorenda Britten, is designed for organisations and individuals that are intent on being leaders in their field in a rapidly changing environment.

Backed by solid Principles, this course is unlike any other professional development offering with a focus on how to think, not what to think.

You will be introduced to a series of fundamental Principles that will help assess and shape valuable ideas and initiatives that will drive positive change within your organisations, attract new talent and bring new value to client relationships. Following these Principles, you can be confident about the adaptive and timely value of new systems, services and products.

The intention is to open up conversations about what businesses and their clients are facing, over and above technical compliance, in today’s complex and dynamic business environment.

You own the process. Dorenda challenges you to be different, to see the bigger picture, create new rules and shake up the system.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Learn to think about the shape of successful businesses in the future and how they will need to achieve positive social, environmental, and financial outcomes.

2. Understand how to ‘create the space,’ where deep-thinking is a deliberate step of every innovation process.

3. Understand the need to slow your product, service or system development down in order to get it right, eliminating the need for expensive last-minute rework. We call this slowing down to speed up.

4. Understand why you need to be asking critical questions, who to involve and how to use our Framework to carve out your distinct advantage.

5. Understand team dynamics and how to make the most of the skills you have and finding those resources that you don’t have in your teams.
