What that means:• Emphasis on contributions ‘from the coal face’ – war stories from those with scars on their backs• Emphasis on tangible outputs –what worked\, what didn’t\, and what are the measurable results?• Most presenters will have been directly involved in the work they will report on• We’ll create opportunities and encourage the audience to interact with the presenters throughout each session.For our workshops with have chosen three related topics: \n\n\n\n\nLeading through change\, keeping hearts and minds onboard\n\n\n\nImproving productivity through raising levels of engagement\n\n\n\nUsing digital tools to improve productivity on the shop floor\n\n\n\n\nTicket prices include catering and a social hour at the end of the function \n\n\n\n• Top-tier leaders (MD/CEO/GM): $485+GST• Tier-2 leaders (operations\, production\, manufacturing managers\, etc) $340+GST• Tier-3 leaders (team leaders and equivalent) $220+GST• Full Paid-up members of MAKE│NZ receive a 15% discount on the above – click here to register • For more than four registrations per company\, please contact us for a special offer: dieter@makenz.org \n\n\n\nConference Programme  \n\n\n\n9:00-10:00Welcome to SouthMACHSouthMACH opens at 9 a.m. – Feel free to come in early and see the exhibits at SouthMACH9:00-10:00Check-in and day registration10:00-10:10MCWelcome and introductionTheme 1: Leading through change10:10-11:10Rebecca Phillips & Ben Rae (Comfort Group)The Comfort Group is in the middle of a major move -shifting its operations from Auckland to Ohinewai (Waikato).
