Together with sponsors and
supporters, SmartNet is running a one day event on 22 March with
the focus on learning from the experiences of Christchurch public
and private sector organisations: their resilience, their preparedness
to handle business interruption and their innovation in the wake
of the quakes as they and their people recover, rethink what they
do and how they do it and refocus on the future.
TelstraClear
Seismics and the City is about
organisational behaviour in the face of disaster, disruption or
major challenge. Powerful case studies from the Canterbury Earthquakes
will be used/presented which will shed light on the ingredients
of a resilient organisational culture and demonstrate how adaptive
people and the uptake of new technologies can accelerate the recovery
process.
The event will also emphasise the opportunities which accompany
catastrophic events and disruptive changes and the on-going need
to re-strategise business planning in order to prepare for the
worst while planning for the best.

TelstraClear
Seismics and the City will
not be a conventional conference - it will be part forum, part
knowledge cafes, part showcase and part Urban Safari, with organisation
visits and opportunities for high level knowledge sharing and
networking. It will also feature a Working Smarter Virtual
Expo demonstrating new ways of working using innovative products
and services.
Whether you are from Christchurch or further afield Seismics
and the City is a unique opportunity
to pause, reflect and learn from the disruptive events of the
previous 18 months, to apply those learnings to your organisation
and set new goals for the year ahead. |
