Otago: Online Lunch & Learn - A Journey into a Senior Leadership Role


A journey from regulatory and consulting roles into a senior leadership role!

Join Helen Sadgrove, from Fonterra; GM Solutions, Planning and Learning, as she talks about her HS journey, using SCL as an approach.

Fonterra is New Zealand’s largest private organisation, where scale has a habit of humbling even the tidiest ideas.

This session is about patterns, trade-offs, and what changes when you stop giving advice and start living with the consequences. It will be candid, practical, and designed to leave people thinking differently when they walk back to their own work.

Your presenter:
Helen has spent her career working on and in the health and safety system. She’s been a regulator, a consultant regulator, a consultant, and in-house across private, public, and charitable organisations. She’s advised from the outside and carried accountability on the inside, sometimes on the very same issues.  Helen's work has spanned operational, strategic, and system-level health and safety. It’s included serious events, legal contexts, and more time in rooms with lawyers than she ever planned, where every word matters and none of them are short. It’s also included the slow work of shaping governance, decision-making, and systems that have to hold up when things get messy. Some of it confronting. Some of it essential. Some of it undeniably boring.
