Where is your balcony? This was the question our keynote speaker at the 16th Technical Conference, Graeme Codrington, asked participants. With this question, Graeme challenged us to take more time out every week, to spend on the ‘balcony’, to really reflect on what you and your team is doing and to look at the bigger picture. Most of us are caught up in the tyranny of the urgent and endless to-do-list, but science and research have shown, that what actually makes us more productive, is not working harder, but being cleverer about our balconies.
This captivating opening address by Graeme, set the tone for our three-day Conference with the theme, Developing Adaptive Capabilities. The programme included discussions that ranged from new regional initiatives and topical issues related to professional career paths and gender equality, to auditing donor funds, infrastructure and the SDGs.
