Overview

In these recent times of surprise, volatility, and uncertainty, and while the ‘sensible voices’ are calling on management to exercise caution and reduce risk— there are some who call for breakthrough innovation because avoiding risk is now the riskiest strategy of all.  

Join us for this Directors Deep Dive lunch where Gerard Quinn, director of the UC Centre for Entrepreneurship, will raise and illustrate this dilemma and share his experience from a career of supporting and encouraging strategic risk-taking behaviour with organisations throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

 This interactive discussion-style event will be capped at 15 attendees. You will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspectives.
