Welcome back to Series II of Key Moments

Background to Participation

  1. •A handful of CEOs/MDs are approached from each industry from which we would like to reflect a career, business and leadership experience.

  2. • At a highly personal level they are asked to contribute key moments or observations that helped shape values, philosophies, and in particular, ‘passion points’.

  3. •If prepared to put their heads above the parapet, it still remains for the associated company to back both their leader as well as the series’ ideals, part-contributing to the costs of the ongoing project.

  4. •As you can imagine, outside-the-box, business-in-community projects to “benefit the wider good”, directed by an outside zealot, with additional non-self promotion and real-speak ‘house-rules’ ...aren’t always top of the pops with marketing or PR departments - along with (to be fair) pre-allocated budgets for the year.

  5. •The above process is how we arrive at the right candidate and company to effectively represent their industry for this project’s ideals at least.

  6. •When asked to step forward for the benefit of our wider business community, those brands, cultures and on-camera participants you see here were willing (and able) to do just that.

Determine the Why, not simply What or How you’ll do it.

MONDAY 20TH MAY

Interviewing Paul Herrod, CEO of KPMG, for series 2, he brought up an intriguing angle regarding how it was highly engaging for a leader and an organization to start establishing (for themselves and everyone) what overall purpose working to any brief delivered, beyond the standard what an organization promised, or the breakdown of how they would set upon the particular task.


The lightning rod for Paul was seeing how his firm’s participation in the Rugby World Cup took on far wider, and certainly visible, dimensions beyond the ‘risk assessment’ work they were brought on as a sponsor to do. ‘Waves of consequence’ lapped a much wider community and indeed New Zealand itself, and certainly beyond the immediate success of their direct client, the Rugby Union, at the time.


It came down to the real (if at first, ‘twee’) concept that there was perhaps an even higher purpose to ‘getting it done right’ or simply ticking all the boxes while doing business.


That NZ inc. ideal is in fact a strong motivator for many leaders I have met,

and certainly struck a chord, given the central purposes of our series. So this theme simply had to open Series II.


In the online, long-play version (released this afternoon to coincide with our press release) KPMG’s CEO explains some of the run-on effects in terms of some of the first-up reactions from others outside his organization and within.


Focus on the right things this week. (Helps a fair bit.)
