Why business leaders must step back to move forward

In the fast-paced world of consulting, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands of client deliverables, team management and operational firefighting. But when you spend all your time working in the business, you miss the opportunity to work on it. You need time to reflect, strategise and evolve.
Economic turbulence, talent shortages, AI disruption and global political shifts are reshaping the landscape. Now more than ever, consulting business leaders need space to think beyond the immediate – to future-proof your business, strengthen leadership and stay ahead of change.

Delve into the future of leadership at Futurespace 2025

The only event of its kind in New Zealand for consulting business leaders, the Futurespace conference is designed to help you navigate complexity and lead with clarity. This year’s theme is Leadership of the future – the evolving landscape of consulting and it’s a rare opportunity to work on your business, not just in it.

It equips you with tools to grow your leadership capability and strategic foresight, while providing a collaborative, honest and non-competitive environment to benchmark your business. You’ll be exposed to diverse thinking, leadership experiences and future-focused ideas that help you reflect, reset and evolve your approach to business.

Hear from local and global leaders

Join us at Futurespace 2025 in Auckland on October 22-23 to hear from local and global leaders who will challenge and inspire you to do business better.

You’ll hear from Steve Lefton, Chair of the Research Institute at The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), about empowering your business to excel in 2035 and beyond as he takes you through the Firm of the Future initiative, designed by ACEC to explore and prepare for the evolving landscape of engineering and design firms, and resulting in a dynamic roadmap highlighting the key competencies your business will need to thrive.  

You’ll also hear from James Castrission, a world record breaking Aussie and thought leader in building capabilities for leading high-performance teams and fostering an explorer’s mindset to achieve the extraordinary. Through immersive simulation-based learning, James will give you the opportunity to collaboratively navigate scenarios, make decisions and learn from the consequences.

And you’ll also hear from a range of ACE members and stakeholders about improving infrastructure planning and delivery, collaborating with clients and communities, fostering innovation in consulting practices, and embracing new technology and modern methods.
