It Happened Here … Session 1 (Using SenseMaker® to Explore Mentorship)
9.00 am – 10:00 am (AEST – Brisbane)
Ian Chisholm (Chiz) founder of The Roy Group has been fascinated by Mentorship for 25 years – and has some ridiculously strong views about the threshold between leadership and Mentorship.
With some 160 narratives already collected, this session will serve multiple purposes – a key complexity principle.
And, we might ask Chiz ‘Are there any surprises for someone who’s worked in the field for as long as you have’ (advanced notice question!!)
If you’re inspired already to add to collection, here’s the link ahead of the session.

Session 2
New Approaches to Community Engagement
4.00 – 5.00 pm (AEST – Brisbane)
Join Beth Smith and Linda Doyle from The Cynefin Co as they share an ecosystem of methods that enables the collection of narrative, collective sensemaking, and insight to action design, at scale.
An approach that can create deeper, more inclusive, and more far-reaching engagement to advance our democracies. We use real-time feedback to create more strategic and evidence-informed decision-making, and we empower citizens and communities to co- create on a local scale so they can rewrite the global story.
Citizen sensor networks provide real time feedback— essential to managing complexity—which helps to identify many different potential solutions and micro-scenarios to be explored, tested and monitored.
