Influence In Action: Leadership That Delivers
Thursday, 26 February 2026
This year’s event explored how senior leaders can use influence as a strategic lever to mobilise the organisation, strengthen accountability, and deliver public service priorities with impact. The focus was on practical leadership behaviours that turn influence into aligned action, sound decision-making, and results at scale.
We welcomed keynote speaker Scott Robley, who led a powerful deep dive into using intentional influence to create lasting behaviour change. Leaders learned how to influence behaviour - not just rely on authority - to align teams, strengthen accountability, and drive results across today’s complex public-sector environment.
Scott also facilitated a hands-on lab, where participants applied Crucial Influence concepts to a real leadership challenge, leaving with a clear, actionable strategy they can implement immediately. The event also featured a CIG leadership panel, The Accountability Advantage, which offered candid insights into the challenges and opportunities for building true accountability within CIG.
For those who were unable to attend or would like to revisit the discussions, you can view the recording of the event here.
