Purpose in Action 2.0:

Building Purposeful Leaders

Doing Good is Good for Business

Build project leadership capability as teams work together to deliver sustainable business solutions
Experience a collaborative learning framework

Building great leaders continues to be a challenge for Corporate Australia. With more than 50% of employees disengaged in most organisations, business leaders have struggled to create inspiring and engaged workplaces which helps employees navigate change.

With the rate of change continuing to increase, there is a need for a more human, collaborative and customer centric leader who has a deeper understanding of their own leadership values and puts stakeholders at the heart of everything they do.

This purposeful leadership development workshop is about helping employees connect to and identify with the purpose and values of the NFPs and how that relates to their own leadership capability to lead and inspire change.

If change is constant, a more “sustainable” mindset is critical to lead it effectively.

This is the beginning of a series of events as the outcomes from the day will set the agenda for the next event to create a sustainable program for leadership development and creating social impact.

What Leadership Development Outcomes Can You Expect?

If you want more clarity on the challenges presented below, please email us at

Mental Illness fellowship of Australia

Key Challenge
Advice and Support to assist MIFA and its members to identify alternative structures for collaboration:

Collaboration between members is enhanced when there is no competition or concern about sharing intellectual property which may reduce their competitive advantage in the NDIS or other marketplaces

Specialist support and advice is needed to explore alternative company/legal structures eg Co-operatives and Mutuals

CEO: Tony Stevenson

The Banksia Project

Key Challenge
We currently have a workforce made up predominantly of volunteers. It would be useful to discuss with the corporates:

1. How are we able to drive standards and accountability amongst volunteer members who often have busy full-time jobs, families and life priorities which tend to take priority over their volunteer role?

2. How can we as a small NFP, provide a competitive market for employees in comparison to corporate offices? The NFP environment simply cannot compete on the payscale of corporate environments, where NFP roles often consist of a significant salary reduction and less job security, due to significant demand on external income sources. This causes highly skilled individuals to often overlook the NFP workforce.

CEO: Bryan Coleman

LIVIN

Key Challenge
With LIVINs extreme growth over the past 2 years in particular, we are facing scaling challenges. How can we best scale the speaking/education arm of the organisation to ensure quality control and also effective outcomes for those engaging in LIVIN.

Like many other NFP’s, we have a database of thousands of volunteers that are sitting dormant on our system, as we don’t have a set defined structure and process around on-boarding and getting them involved. A solution here could not only be golden for business outcomes but could set a standard for how and why people chose to work with certain organisations.

Founder: Sam Webb

Batyr

Key Challenge
How might batyr create more and better partnerships with the corporate sector, through mutual beneficial arrangements that can help batyr to reach more young people and improve the business outcomes of the corporates

Partnership Manager: Jono Peatfield

Uprise

Key Challenge
In the US, behavioural health companies (read: evidence-based approaches to corporate health) are moving towards value-based pricing where companies only pay when the vendor gets a result. EG: a health vendor is only paid if an employee at risk of diabetes loses >1kg of weight.

These payment models are a collaboration between the company, the vendor and the insurer who would have to pay any salary continuance claims if they arise. How do we form better partnerships between HR, WHS, insurance brokers and insurance carriers to create better programs and more value?

CEO: Jay Spence

Facilitated Leadership Development Session.

10:40 - 11:40 am

The topic of development is set by the themes present in the charity challenges. If innovation is required, we take a lens to best practice creativity & innovation and it’s application in our setting. If workforce engagement is what is required - for the charity volunteers, or for the corporates - we spend time hearing from specialists in the field. If problem solving and decision making is the need we will explore those tools in readiness for our human centered design process.

Sir David Martin Foundation

Key Challenge
How can non-profit organisations open themselves up to a culture of partnership, so that we are working in close conjunction with one another in order to leverage strengths, expertise, and resources. As a fundraising organisation that currently raises dollars and mobilises volunteers around youth, mental illness and substance abuse, it would be ideal for us to have an established partnership with organisations that aspire to be preventative in nature, i.e., educating youth about addiction.

CEO: Christopher Wilborn
