The year is 2020
The Australian Government has hit target of accrediting 1000 organisations as ‘mature age friendly’ employers and service providers
To achieve this accreditation, your organisation has shown best practice in this area
What needs to happen between now and 2020 to make this happen?
Prepare a bullet point presentation to your CEO and Executive leadership team (who are sitting at the next table and to whom you will present your plans shortly...)
7 minutes
1. Quickly appoint a scribe / spokesperson
2. You have 7 minutes to brainstorm and capture key ideas to present to the executive team (refer to handouts)
3 minutes
1. Spokesperson stand up please
2. Move to the next table and take a seat
3. You have 3 minutes to present to the executive team
4. The executive team listen in silence and make notes
5. When the spokesperson has finished, turn your chair to face away from the group and await next step
3 minutes
1. CEO and Executive team discuss and debate the presentation• what would work?• what would not?• why?• what was missing?
2. Spokesperson listens in silence and jots down notes
5 minutes
1. Spokesperson returns to their original work team and debriefs
2. Refine the plan based on feedback
3. Determine the 3 ‘most important’ things that will be done and be ready to present
what do you now know?
