About the programme


Werribee Mansion

Designed for those specifically charged with driving sustainability in their organisation, this programme provides access to the latest data on the global challenges facing us, tools and frameworks for action, and bold business responses from around the world. Participants explore the strategic implications for their own business, and effective approaches to engage all levels of the organisation.

Over the course of the Programme participants will work towards learning objectives that cover systems thinking, the strategic challenge and response and the leadership required to motivate and embed change.

The workshop is held at the Mansion Hotel at Werribee Park, a former seminary adjacent to the famous Werribee Mansion built in the 1870s. Only half an hour from Melbourne airport or CBD, the venue feels completely secluded, set in 10 acres of beautiful gardens. The 4.5 star hotel combines Victorian grandeur with modern facilities including 17m indoor pool. All rooms are ensuite.

The seminar is residential and attendance for the duration is required. All accommodation and meals are included.
