Opening Keynote #RaisingStandards

Originally Broadcast Monday 13th October, 10:30

Reset, Redefine & Raise Standards
This keynote launches the week by challenging us to turn intent into action. Explore how learning, reflection and ownership drive personal growth and organisational progress. Discover how tools like the Learning Tracker, Reflective Method, and the Learning Pyramid support continuous improvement. We'll explore how to break out of firefighting, align strategy with daily action, and shift from “being busy” to “making a difference”. It's time to reset habits, redefine success, and commit to doing things differently. Because done will always beat intended.

Endnote

Action guarantees learning. And learning drives progress. To keep Raising Standards we need to keep learning and keep drive action

It’s not the ideas in our head that raise standards, it’s what you do with the ideas. Without action, the best ideas gather dust. Without learning, action becomes guesswork. And without reflection, we repeat the same mistakes. This endnote gives us the opportunity to reflect on the week of learning at our virtual conference and turn our ideas into impact.
