New Zealand has an incredible opportunity to emerge stronger from this crisis, but creating a vision won’t help.
In 2015 Roger Dennis spent four months analysing the impact of a pandemic on New Zealand, and has closely watched every viral outbreak since then. Since mid-January this year he has been heavily involved in helping his clients understand the impact and scale of the crisis, and sees many parallels with the Christchurch disaster (lack) of recovery programme. In this session he will talk about the scale of this crisis, insights from his colleagues around the world, why most subject domain experts (and McKinsey) aren’t very useful at the moment, and lessons from Christchurch about how Aotearoa can emerge stronger from the crisis.
Date & Time: May 28, 2020 11:00AM - 12:00PM
