Techweek 22 - Business Breakfast: Innovating for Change

Techweek22 will explore and showcase the unique characteristics of the tech and innovation sector, which is growing rapidly. It’s about people, relationships, community, and connectedness. Join DWC for an inspiring discussion from innovation leader, Dorenda Britten.

The urgency for businesses to prepare for a very different century. We all keep hearing that business is changing and our responses must change. From our current point of view our future can look overwhelming.

Who do we listen to, who do we believe, where do we get our information? What is change going to cost us?

There are some things that remain the same in business and that is your need to make a profit from your efforts. But there are many external trends we need to internalise to be successful. These things can briefly be described as social, environmental and financial. It can no longer be assumed that your financial goals can be achieved without addressing the first two externalities.

At this business breakfast you will be introduced to a set of prompts that can help guide you through this new territory.

Dorenda will also be presenting an in-depth half day innovation workshop in Greymouth on Wednesday, 18th of May.
