Two workshops are available to choose from — simply add your preferred session when booking your Congress ticket.
Workshop 1
Innovating for Public Value
Innovating for Public Value is a practical, one-day immersive workshop designed to demystify innovation for healthcare leaders. Moving beyond buzzwords and abstract frameworks, the session centres on a hands-on experience where participants apply a powerful, structured approach to a healthcare scenario.
Working through this shared case, participants learn how to identify where innovation is needed, make defensible trade-offs under constraint, and shape initiatives that deliver meaningful public value. The emphasis is on doing rather than discussing, building confidence and capability through application.
Participants leave with a clear, repeatable framework they can use across multiple contexts, from service improvement to system-level change.

Workshop 2
Better, Safer, Smarter Care: Health Leadership Intensive
This one-day workshop equips health leaders with evidence-based frameworks and practical skills to improve care delivery and drive sustainable productivity.
The program takes a whole-system view: leaders cannot improve processes without addressing culture, and they cannot lead culture change without self-awareness.
Each session is designed to build on the last, moving participants from reflection and awareness to concrete action.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Apply adaptive and transformational leadership frameworks to real challenges in their health service context
Diagnose organisational culture using validated models and design targeted culture-change interventions
Select and apply appropriate change management models to support sustainable improvement
Apply continuous improvement tools (PDSA, run charts, Lean) to drive measurable care improvements
Sponsor and lead redesign care processes using co-design principles, integrated with proactive risk assessment
Develop a personal 30-60-90 day action plan with accountability mechanisms
