The Harvard Club of Australia invite you to join fellow local alumni for the annual Harvard Alumni Global Networking Night on Wednesday, March 19th. Harvard alumni throughout the world will come together for an evening of informal networking and engagement.

The world has changed and will continue to do so.  Forever changed too is the way we sell: the model is broken and tinkering around the edges isn’t going to take you where you need to go.  Find out how we got here, the paradigm shift required from organisations towards their customers and people and what you can do to take action.

Do you feel, like most business leaders, that you are constantly chasing your tail and never getting ahead? If so no doubt, you regularly second guess your decision making.

Even the best business leaders get easily distracted and often they feel like they are bouncing from task to task. Even in our high performing groups many members share that they feel frustrated that their staff and team don’t seem to listen.

This workshop helps you focus on your Presence - leading to you staying more focussed and in “Flow”

Not all IT projects fail but most do! The reason; People underestimate the impact of human interactions and behaviours with technology. Cameron Tuesley explains where technical expertise and the many areas where different, human centred, skills are required.

"Fearless IT" comes from Cameron’s many years of helping organisations navigate technology and recovering IT projects. As a 10 year TEC member he has seen plenty of examples in his fellow members as well as some his very high profile corporate clients. Often Cameron has been called in to sort out a mess and there are some very basic and simple reasons, he believes, that cause these and indeed most IT projects to fail and the good news is that the solutions are there to be seen if you know where to look.
