Even the most senior leaders need space to grow

The Leadership Blueprint will help delegates reset, reflect and strengthen the parts of their leadership that they are expected to know, but may not have had space to explore. Delegates will gain tools and insights tailored to the unique challenges faced by membership and non-profit leaders – navigating values-driven missions, limited resources, trustee-led governance, and the accelerating pace of change.

The Leadership Blueprint gives senior leaders, and aspiring leaders, a clear, strategic playbook to improve performance, strengthen board relationships, drive successful transformation and build sustainable, resilient organisations.

Blending practical tools with board-level insight and beyond, the Leadership Blueprint helps leaders take focused, high-impact action across governance, financial planning, data and technology, organisational culture, personal leadership style and member or supporter value – creating resilient, future-ready organisations that people believe in, support and are proud to belong to.
