Practical Insights and Strategic Provocations
Abstract
This interactive session blends futures thinking with hands-on strategy. Participants will work through a series of structured provocations designed to stretch current assumptions about leadership, data, and innovation in the public sector. Through practical tools and guided conversation, Elle will help attendees map the intersections between systems, culture, and capability - translating vision into tangible next steps. Expect a dynamic, high-energy wānanga-style workshop that connects big ideas with real-world application.
