1 2017 LGPRO CORPORATE PLANNERS NETWORK CONFERENCE Stepping outside the square FRIDAY 17 NOVEMBER, 8.30AM-5.15PM THE PAVILION, ARTS CENTRE MELBOURNE, 100 ST KILDA ROAD, MELBOURNE This conference is for Corporate Planners and anyone interested in thinking differently, wanting to learn ways of managing change, planning for the future or those who want to learn from others on how success can be achieved by taking a new approach. MAJOR SPONSOR

2 Every four years Corporate Planners guide their Council to plan the strategic direction for the organisation through the development of a Council Plan. The challenge is to ensure the needs of the community are balanced with the right level of service delivery within the financial capability of the organisation. On top of this the environment Councils are operating in is changing. Corporate Planners are now required to be more innovative and need to look at new ways of engaging and embracing data and digital technology to become more agile and responsive to the community. It was this discussion that led the planning committee for this conference to decide that business as usual is no longer an option, hence the theme this year, Stepping outside the square.

Change has always been a part of the human landscape, but now, more than ever before, change is happening at an exponential rate. It s remarkable to see what innovation is bringing to the world. On the other hand, it s disruptive, it s confronting, and it makes us worry about what is to come. Then how do organisations and employees meet the future with confidence, with optimism, with integrity? And how do we start today?

Faced with a continuing requirement to be innovative, whilst managing change, in this session we will look at two Councils and one private sector business to see what they did differently to progress in the ever growing environments of service planning, digital transformation and quick service turnaround.
