Dear <<First Name>>
The world needs leaders with the commitment, vision, courage and skills to drive transformational change. Implementing practices that promote strategic system thinking and innovation requires government and organisations to break down silos, foster collaboration and critically - enable and equip leaders with the skills and insights to create the future we need.
What's required is leadership that is committed to building new competencies, new measurement approaches and a new mindset. Giant steps rather than a small steps approach in incremental innovation is necessary to address the challenges ahead.
Our book review – Coherence-the secret science of brilliant leadership, supports you in creating personal balance to avoid the risks and build the resilience needed to successfully lead in an era of transformational change; Measurement is critical to maximising return on innovation is a necessary, albeit complicated challenge that Tara Rivkin has been researching; many people support the view that the chief information officer should be titled chief innovation officer, but what is clear is that CIOs need to be whole system thinkers and practitioners. We have featured a number of new era job opportunities and leadership roles that are key to system transformation.
And, saving the most important for last - meet our new head of Executive Search and Recruitment, Christine O'Donnell. We are absolutely thrilled to have leadership in our team with Christine's considerable industry and sector experience and capabilities and her committment to the customer experience.

Take care,

The new reality of ambiguity, complexity, volatility and uncertainty in business requires adaption - going beyond traditional "horizontal learning" (skills, knowledge & experience). Coherence is about vertical development - increasing sophistication of thinking and ability to handle complexity... read more

CIOs need to be whole system thinkers & practitioners
By Jean Fagan
With one of our executive search teams working with highly respected Ramsey Healthcare to source an experienced CIO, I am reminded of the debate about the different dimensions of the CIO role. Some suggest that with game changing technologies transforming business processes and giving the ability to create new products and services, that perhaps the title should be Chief Innovation Officer... read more
