  • Capability: Leaders will develop their problem solving, leadership and critical thinking capabilities

  • Behaviour: Leaders demonstrate and hold themselves accountable for behaving in ways that reflect the changes in mindset, knowledge and capability

Program Benefits

Organisations setting and delivering on their promises are reaping the benefits in talent attraction and retention, brand and market reputation, customer growth and access to capital. But to get there, leaders will need to transform how their organisations operate – which is where Reimagine Leadership can help.

  • Leaders will emerge from the program engaged and committed to driving impact across the organisation and with an action plan for implementing a strategic project to drive positive change.

  • Your participation in the program will be promoted through thought leadership and other channels to demonstrate your public commitment to driving social and environmental impact.

  • Six months after the program all participants will participate in a pulse check focused n behavioural change and a coaching session holding them accountable for implementing their action plan and learnings. Additionally, one participant from your organisation will be part of ongoing thought leadership development and responsible for working with the other program alums to collaborate and share their learning.

  • As a partner of this initiative, you will receive data and insights from the 360 pulse check focused on identifying participant behavioural change after the program and other evaluation insights and reflections. You will also meet with the other partners to reflect on how businesses, individually and collaboratively, can drive positive impact.

Sustainability Hackathon: Driving Sustainable Growth for Positive Change

In partnership with leading professional services firm EY, Social Impact Hub organised a hackathon exclusively designed to address Pocket City Farms’ financial sustainability needs.

The hackathon brought together diverse teams of seasoned professionals, passionate volunteers, and expert mentors. Over the course of intensive workshops, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative ideation, participants worked towards generating creative strategies that would propel Pocket City Farms towards long-term financial sustainability and impact.

Through collaborative efforts and by leveraging EY’s expertise, resources, and networks, the hackathon devised practical, actionable solutions for Pocket City Farms, including a roadmap for generating recurring income for expansion and investing in programs that drive positive change in communities throughout Australia.

“The level of engagement, collaboration and positive energy in the room was amazing. The whole process clearly involved a large amount of advance planning, and it was managed perfectly. The sense of purpose for everyone (along with the fun) was remarked on frequently by all. Well done! Can we please do it again!”
