The current economic climate provides one of the strongest imperatives for change in most of our lifetimes. The key question is how do leaders make the most of this opportunity? Peter and Chris will take a '10000ft view' of organisations in New Zealand, offering an objective, maybe provocative view of current status and challenging us to refocus and, at the same time, raise the tempo of the current debate. Exploring some of the myths that our country's leaders hold to be true unlocks some solutions that need to be considered in the national agenda as we struggle to carve a vision for what we want to be as a nation. Good practices in human capital must be at the forefront of thinking across all sectors amongst leaders, policy makers and advisors. A 'talent' perspective offers a view of our future possibilities. The right choices unleash a huge opportunity for us all.
