Facilitator for the 2012 Copland Program: Dr Robert Burke

Robert Burke's experience as a Chief Executive Officer gives him a deep appreciation of the real challenges that senior leaders experience on a day-to-day basis. Robert now uses both his real world wisdom and his thirst for learning, knowing and understanding to assist senior leaders to position themselves and their organisations for better futures. He is an educator and consultant and also a strategist and futurist.

Robert has been a CEO/Managing Director for international companies, a consultant and a student. He has worked in Australia, USA, Asia and the UK. He has broad corporate clients, is a regular speaker at conferences and has authored articles on business and futures.

Robert's key focus is futures thinking within a leadership context. He challenges managers to think differently and consider alternative perspectives.

Robert has methods and approaches that enable:

• Truly innovative responses;
• The creation of positive energy for reconsidering the purpose of organisations; and
• The creation of dignified and sustainable outcomes by senior managers for their organisations and for our broader society.

Participant reflections on the Copland Program

"Unique opportunity to explore and reflect on topics with others in the wider business world. It helps develop broader thinking in experience."

"Excellent breadth of topics with relevant discussions and quality presenters with an excellent facilitator."

"The Copland Program offers a breadth and perspective not normally available to an individual in a line role."

"It gives you an opportunity to look at emerging issues and to reflect on your business as it relates to the topics covered...I thoroughly enjoyed the whole program and would recommend it to others."

"The course introduced some new perspectives from those who have 'walked the talk'. This was more useful than a theoretical leadership course."

"Overall, the quality of the speakers was excellent. Their openness about the internal processes of leadership in their organisations was much appreciated."
