Ethics of gravity
Ben Rimmer has been faced with some significant challenges in recent years, leading him to think deeply about the ‘ethics of gravity’ and connections between community, decision makers and teams. Being grounded in real problems is a key feature of new ways of working and offers real hope for teams to engage more effectively. As a senior public servant, he argues the need for everyone to build working practices that involve stronger, more connected relationships to inform better decision making for all that will be impacted.
Come along to this talk to hear Ben’s take on how we should approach the solutions we are building for the constituencies we serve and those that we work for. You will leave with new ideas on how to raise the conversations that matter in regard to nurturing the communities in our workplaces, neighbourhoods, cities and country!
