Panel discussion
summary
Panelists give concrete moves: dedicate regular time to creativity—set aside one day a week or run a weekly four‑Friday experiment where teams "reimagine the Jira board" and prototype changes; replace alcohol‑centred socials with purposeful tikanga such as whakawhanaungatanga / fanatanga to build safety; track diversity outcomes (historical gender share fell from ~30% to <15% then slowly recovers) and protect people from toxic client engagements; capture knowledge for long timezones so work actually transfers and innovation scales.
