• 9.15am: Keynote Speaker – Dr Lance O’Sullivan - Topic: How does smart healthcare create a safe work environment in the bush

Dr Lance O’Sullivan is an accomplished author, national and international speaker, role model and disruptive leader and innovator.  From a young boy labelled by society as a troublemaker, Lance developed into a passionate advocate for Māori health.  He is a pioneer for equal health care in his community and a champion for creating a fairer New Zealand. In June 2012 Lance made the headlines when he left his former employer after a difference in patient philosophy – he believed in treating patients regardless of whether or not they could afford treatment.  He left disillusioned with a system that failed to deliver the care needed for his patients and vowed to change the system for the better.

​

Now ensconced in the Far North of New Zealand, Lance has set about making this happen.  Harnessing the skills he acquired from his cultural heritage and medical training, he and his wife Tracy established Navilluso Medical, a healthcare company committed to developing innovative ways to ensure appropriate and quality health care reached the right people in the right place at the right time. Lance and Tracy, have seven beautiful children (5 boys and 2 girls). 

​

They live and work in Kaitaia, a remote and challenged area of rural New Zealand.  Lance truly believes that he has led a charmed life and even now reflects on this…“I used to feel that I should pinch myself to see if how life had played out for me was real or a dream”. Lance founded The MOKO Foundation, inspired by the opportunities that he himself had experienced in life and which allowed him to grow and develop into a well-educated, well-rounded, family man and community leader.

Today, as the Chair of The MOKO Foundation, Lance is truly passionate about and devoted to connecting people with opportunities for a better Aotearoa New Zealand.

​

• 10.00am:​ David Langford Group Manager Infrastructure & Assets (New Plymouth District Council) – Topic: Supply Chain leadership in practise

Like many organisations, New Plymouth District Council relied on the Lowest Price Conforming model when tendering for work. But in 2017 with a new Head of Infrastructure and CEO in place, it knew something was broken and a new approach to procurement was needed. The Council had a vision to become a supply chain leader, where its role was to coach, mentor, lead and inspire its contractors. Their aim was to develop a culture where their staff are not just good at planning and execution but are prepared to challenge the status quo, be a bit curious, push the boundaries and do some innovative stuff.

• 10.40am: Morning Tea in Trade Area

• 11.00 am: FISC Technical Advisory Group Discussion Panel

​

• 11.20 am: Duayne Cloke, Senior Manager Critical Risk, Waka Kotahi (NZTA)

Duayne will talk about flipping the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM) on its head, moving to a risk-based control tool kit and developing new learning pathways for TTM training

​

• 11.45am: Jeff Fleury, NZTA & RTA Expert - Topic: Be Professional Get Home Safely

Jeff officially works for the NZTA and the Roll over Prevention Safer Journey Programme is being done in conjunction with the RTA.

​

Jeff has taken this journey with 6000 attendees and at 190 meetings since starting in March 2016. Not only does this tell you that this program has had great support, but a significant attendance from the log transport sector and forest owners/managers. From the top of the north island to the bottom of the south and from a couple of dozen drivers through to a record 227 in Gisborne, Transport Agency Heavy Vehicle Specialist Jeff Fleury has presented every workshop. His ongoing enthusiasm and dedication to help improve driver safety is great to see and with overwhelmingly positive, showing he has hit the mark with industry.

The People Interpreter – Allison Mooney

Regardless of what organisation we are in, we all deal with people. Transformation occurs when we respect and celebrate each other’s differences.

You will come away from this session with a very effective but simple tool that will change the way you see others, and wished many years ago that you had learned how to “Press the Right Buttons” thus avoiding people challenges.

Allie is a fun, entertaining speaker but most important she has a message that is informative and life changing and she speaks not only to the intellectual mind, but to the heart also.
