SUMMARY:Rebuilding From the Inside: Culture Transformation at Alpine Energy
DESCRIPTION:This event is exclusive to Champions for Change member organisation. \n  \nCaroline Ovenstone and Susan Lowe on what it takes to shift a culture\, from the CEO’s seat and the Chief People Officer’s seat at the same time. \n  \nAbout the session \nMost culture transformation stories are told after the fact\, tidied up\, with the hard parts sanded off. This one won’t be. \nAlpine Energy is an essential lifeline service connecting more than 33\,000 customers across South Canterbury. Over recent years the business has worked through regulatory resets\, modernising systems\, and rebuilding after a period of instability. The kind of turnaround that looks like strategy on paper but made possible by culture. \nChief Executive Caroline Ovenstone and Chief People & Organisational Performance Officer Susan Lowe take us inside that work. The decisions\, the resistance\, what they’d do differently\, and the moments where the plan met the reality of a workforce that had already been through a lot. \nFormat: 60 minutes in conversation\, then 30 minutes of open dialogue. Come with your questions. \nWho it’s for: Champions for Change members and their senior leadership teams. Bring your CPO\, your ELT\, whoever is carrying this work in your organisation. \n  \nSpeakers \n\nCaroline Ovenstone\, Chief Executive Officer\, Alpine Energy. Caroline has led Alpine through its transformation\, with a focus on strengthening the link between governance\, culture and community outcomes\, and giving people the confidence to lead from where they stand. She came to the role via senior executive leadership in South Africa\, including as Managing Partner at BDO South Africa\, and sits on the Global Women board.\nSusan Lowe\, Chief People & Organisational Performance Officer\, Alpine Energy. Susan leads people and organisational performance at Alpine\, where the People and Safety team’s brief is to build a culture in which people can do their best work safely. She has written about culture transformation from the practitioner’s side: what works\, what stalls\, and why so much change effort never reaches the people it was designed for.\n\n

Now\, with Tika live\, they will return to share their journey – and what it takes to create meaningful change in a system that can leave survivors feeling isolated and without a clear path forward. \nThey will reflect on the broader questions Tika raises for leaders: how can we build systems that make it safer to speak up\, what does accountability look like when individual experiences are connected\, and how might collective action change the way Aotearoa responds to sexual harm? \nFollowing their presentation\, Carolyn Kerr\, Global Women member and CEO and Co-Founder of Anthem\, will facilitate a Q&A\, giving members the opportunity to explore the thinking behind Tika\, how its collective-action model works and the change its founders hope to create across the country and further afield. \nJoin us for an important and thought-provoking evening of conversation\, connection and fresh perspective. \nEvent Details:\nWhen: Thursday 5th November\, 5.30–7.30pm (Please arrive by 5.15pm for a 5.30pm start)\nWhere: HSBC Tower Level 18/188 Quay Street\, Auckland CBD\, Auckland 1010\nTickets: $35 per person (Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Tika) \nWe’re immensely grateful to Buddle Findlay for hosting Global Women on this event. \nPlease note: This event will include discussion of sexual harm. Free and confidential support is available through Safe to Talk on 0800 044 334 or by texting 4334.

SUMMARY:From Culture Risk to Culture Assurance
DESCRIPTION:This event is exclusive to Champions for Change member organisations. \nWorkplace culture is no longer just a people issue. It is a leadership\, governance\, and organisational risk issue. Bullying\, harassment\, discrimination\, and other harmful workplace behaviours can create significant legal\, reputational\, operational and wellbeing risks. Directors and senior leaders also face increasing expectations\, and personal accountability\, for overseeing workplace culture and psychosocial risk. \nThis masterclass explores how leaders can champion beyond good intentions to gain meaningful assurance over workplace culture\, identify emerging risks\, strengthen accountability\, and create safer\, more inclusive and higher performing workplaces. \nLiz Smith and Sandar Duckworth are the founders of Granat. They work with boards\, executives\, and senior leaders to strengthen workplace culture\, conduct risk oversight and governance assurance. Drawing on extensive experience in organisational reviews\, workplace wellbeing and system improvement\, they help organisations identify emerging risks\, test assumptions\, and build confidence that workplace systems are working as intended.

SUMMARY:Global Women 2027 Study Tour to Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Leadership\, influence and connection\, through a uniquely Irish lens\n18–25 July 2027 | Dublin · Belfast · Galway\nJoin a small group of just 16–18 Global Women members for an extraordinary week across Ireland\, combining access to influential leaders and institutions with history\, enterprise\, culture and some of the country’s most memorable places. \nThis tour isn’t about seeing Ireland from the outside. It’s about experiencing the country through the people\, ideas and stories that have shaped it\, while travelling alongside a remarkable group of Global Women members. \nWhat makes this journey different?\nThe programme has been designed around access and conversation that sparks thinking and connection. \nIn Dublin\, our proposed programme includes an intimate leadership conversation with Mary Robinson\, former President of Ireland and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (under invitation) exploring courageous\, values-led leadership and the role women can play in shaping change. \nWe are also developing an executive briefing with the New Zealand Consulate in Ireland as well as private briefings around business\, art and government. Each of these sessions will have you drawing parallels to the opportunity in Aotearoa and the learnings you can take back home from this similar island nation on the other side of the globe. \nOur leadership and business engagements are currently being developed and are subject to final confirmation. \nAcross Ireland: history\, craft and enterprise\nPart of the pleasure will be the journey itself. From Dublin to Belfast to Galway\, take in the sights and watch history and leadership connect as we explore stops historical significance and centuries of Irish Craftsmanship. \nFinish in Galway at a remarkable moment\, the Galway International Arts Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2027\, as we take in world-class art\, bold new work and ideas\, and walk away with inspiration and cultural conversation. \nStay somewhere exceptional\nStay at landmark five-star city hotels rich in Georgian and Victorian heritage\, elegant Belfast Estates among other world class accommodation. \nExpect warm Irish hospitality and excellent dining (One of the proposed western properties even features a Michelin-starred restaurant!). \nOptional activities include\nDublin 8 Walking tours and food trails in Dublin\, Claddagh Ring making workshops and a tour of the historic Glendalough Monastic site \nEasy from Aotearoa\nFor New Zealand passport holders\, Ireland is refreshingly straightforward: no visa is required for the Ireland portion of this short visit and stay up to 90 days. As the programme crosses into Northern Ireland\, travellers will need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). \nMore than a study tour\nThis is an opportunity to step outside the everyday and see leadership through a completely different lens. \nTo hear from people who have shaped change. To explore how another small island nation (much like ours) has built global influence. To encounter the history\, creativity and resilience behind modern Ireland. And to do it alongside a small cohort of accomplished Global Women\, with the time and space for conversations that rarely happen in the rhythm of everyday working life. \nCome home with new perspectives\, new connections and an experience that will stay with you long after Ireland. \nInvestment\nInvestment per participant are as follows. Please note that the following costs do not include airfare to and from Ireland\, and can be paid in 3 instalments:\n\n\nCost per person (King room): NZ$18\,200\n\n\nCost per person (Twin share): NZ$14\,600\n\n\nBookings for the Global Women 2027 Study Tour are open now.\nIf you are excited by the opportunity to be part of this Global Women Study Tour\, we encourage you to Register now.
