2020Plus Think Tank Event in London

‘People leaders need thought leaders,’ says Mal Fletcher. ‘People want to follow leaders who’ve thought about change and can add value to it – preferably in advance of the change.’

This is the philosophy behind a new initiative launched late last year, by Next Wave International in cooperation with the 2020Plus think tank.

The second 2020Plus Invitation Think Tank Event was held in June, in London’s prestigious Institute of Directors (IOD), in Pall Mall.

This particular event was centred around leaders of significant local churches from across the UK.

The full day event featured two hours of keynote presentations by Mal Fletcher, who heads NWI and chairs 2020Plus. Based on up-to-the-minute research on likely technological and social shifts in the coming decade, the lectures outlined how leaders can get ahead of the change curve.

Half of the day was devoted to roundtable interactive sessions, including an extended Q&A, plus sessions focused on ideas generation and identifying where change strategies might begin.

‘Both of the invitation think tank events we’ve held thus far have been hugely successful. We ensure that only a small group is present – which adds to the interactive and highly focused feel of the event. We also ensure that we offer a balanced blend of high-content and intense lectures, backed by some great media, with very a focused interactive experience’

‘Our aim is to have leaders going away saying, “My brain hurts a little, but I’ve gained a lot to think about as well as some practical skills to help me engage the future of my city! So far, thankfully, we seem to be hitting the mark.’

The next 2020Plus Invitation Think Tank Event will take place in September and focuses on Leaders in the Marketplace. Invitations have already been issued.
