The Lunch Series — Western Australia

From Productivity Pressure to Productivity Progress

Australia’s productivity challenge is no longer simply an economic debate.

Inside organisations, it is being experienced as a crisis of capacity: teams working harder without always creating greater value, leaders carrying too many decisions, technology adding complexity instead of removing it, and strategic priorities struggling to translate into the way work gets done.

Join The CEO Institute, in partnership with Smartgroup, for a private roundtable lunch bringing together just 20 carefully selected CEO Institute members and invited business leaders from across the Perth market.

Hosted by Mary Verschuer, one of The CEO Institute’s most senior Syndicate Chairs, this intimate conversation will explore what productivity looks like inside the organisations represented around the table -  and what leaders are doing to improve it.

This is not a networking lunch, nor is it a presentation with a speaker at the front of the room.

It is a facilitated, peer-to-peer working conversation in which every guest will be invited to contribute their experience, challenge assumptions and learn directly from other leaders carrying comparable responsibility.

Across the lunch, four carefully framed questions will be introduced -  one at each stage of the dining experience. Each will examine a different part of the productivity challenge, allowing the conversation to develop naturally over an exceptional meal and wine in one of Perth’s most impressive private dining environments. Rockpool Bar & Grill’s private dining rooms are designed for intimate groups, with its River Room accommodating up to 22 guests around one table.

The objective is not to reach one universal answer.

It is to leave with sharper questions, practical perspectives and a clearer view of where your organisation may be losing capacity - and what you can do about it.
