Networking

As you know our #buildawindmill conversation is well underway. In a nutshell, we’ve started to explore the new era of leadership, the shifting shape of careers, AI’s role in the way we work, and how we transfer knowledge across generations.

At our June meeting, we will be prioritising:

Squiggly Careers:

Matthew Hotten will talk us through everything he learned from the pilot activity he led with several councils in 2024/25, make sure you have access to all the resources procured on your behalf and give you top tips on how to implement a new way of thinking about career pathways.

Strategic Workforce Planning:

Michelle O’Neill will be joined by Hannah Preece HR and OD Manager at Telford and Wrekin Council to showcase the creative new approach to strategic workforce planning we helped them embed - transforming it from a one-off HR task into a future-focused, service-led way of working that’s already reshaping how they plan, grow, and support their workforce.

As OD professionals, we know that real transformation doesn’t happen by chance - it happens by design. Yet our expertise can be overlooked, our strategic value under-utilised. This space isn’t just about conversation; it’s about ensuring OD is at the heart of organisational change, shaping not just responses to challenges, but the systems, cultures, and leadership that will define the future. Collectively, we can anticipate what’s ahead and shape our councils ability to #buildawindmill.

We know your time is precious, and with so many networks and meetings competing for space in your diary, choosing where to invest your energy isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re keeping it simple in the year ahead - just one catch-up per quarter. Four sessions a year to connect, challenge thinking, and explore the future together (with a good dose of fun along the way!).

We’d love to have you with us.
