December Calendar
OUR CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR DECEMBER 2020
Take a look at what’s in store for December, exclusively for Friends and Members of the Resource Alliance Global Community.
In order to join any of these sessions, all you need to do is register for the Global Community. You can do so as a Friend for free or join as a Member for an annual subscription, starting from as little as £125 a year, including your ticket to IFC Online 2021. Each month, we’ll be exploring a different sub-theme, under our overall theme of Accelerating Change. In November and December, we’re focusing on leadership for a new era.
| Date | Format | Session | Speakers | Available for | Times |
| 23.11.2020 | Plenary | The perils of wilful blindness in leadership | Dr. Margaret Heffernan | Members | TBC |
| 07.12.2020 | Big Conversation | Understanding Boards
We’ll be debating the secrets of getting your board to work – how to work with them and how to get them to work for you. Our panel will simplify things by breaking down the basics of boards – what are they really for? What are their official responsibilities? We will discuss the intricacies of staff relationships with the board as a whole and also board members as individuals – including why this distinction is so important in itself. |
Lucy Blythe, Simone P. Joyaux Helena Sharpstone, Ingrid Srinath | Members | 07.00 EST / 09.00 BRT / 12.00 GMT / 13.00 CET / 14.00 SAST / 17.30 IST |

| 08.12.2020 | Workshop | Leading together
There are two types of work we can do – hands work and head work. Leadership is head work. It’s about solving problems, making decisions and inspiring others to act. How do we tap into all that brain power in our organisations? How do we make an organisation of leaders? We will teach you tools and tips for re-imagining your own structure so you can leverage the full capabilities of every person in your organisation and supercharge your ability to innovate, change and make meaningful progress. |
