"Anchors aweigh" - A review and preview of the development of the city's anchor projects once the Canterbury Earthquake Authority is disbanded in April.
Falling oil prices are forcing drilling companies to tightly manage costs. Experts recommend negotiating lower rig rates, minimizing use of tools like LWD and MWD where possible, using water-based drilling fluids where geology allows, reusing drilling fluids, and focusing operations in areas with reliable geological data to reduce risks. The challenges are predicting future oil prices and their impact, as smaller companies face higher breakeven prices and could be forced to stop drilling if prices remain low. However, experts feel that cost reductions can help projects remain economic even at lower prices.

This document discusses the aftermath of an event five years ago and lessons that can be learned. It argues that improving building standards, increasing accountability, and reforming laws to ensure justice are needed to build a safer and more beautiful city. While increasing engineering standards may cost 5-10%, far more has been lost over five years in areas like education and tourism due to the event's impacts. The consequences of the city experiencing such an event again in the future could be severe.

Hugh Cowan, GM of Reinsurance, Research & Education, EQCSmartNet
Dr Hugh Cowan looks back at major natural disasters in New Zealand's history, including the 1953 Tangiwai Rail Disaster, the 1931 Napier Earthquake, and the 1886 Tarawera Eruption. He examines approaches to managing risk from natural hazards, including avoiding exposure, controlling impact, transferring or pooling risk, and accepting risk. Key questions are considered around the likelihood and impact of events, the types of investments that should be made, when costs should be paid, how much risk is tolerable, and how much should be managed before and after events occur.

The document summarizes how Kay Giles' organization has reinvented itself in response to the needs of the Canterbury region after earthquakes. It discusses trends in student numbers and recruitment, making trades training a priority by targeting underrepresented groups. It also focuses on STEM programs and is undertaking a $200 million campus redevelopment. The organization has worked to continue operating, engage with the community, and meet changing student and employer expectations around work-readiness and skills.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.

This document discusses smart city and safe city initiatives in New Zealand cities. It describes several smart city projects underway in Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland focused on asset management, transportation monitoring, and flexible sensor platforms. The document outlines a vision for an integrated interdisciplinary asset management model across the public sector in New Zealand that uses common data standards and shares information and analytics capabilities to plan infrastructure renewal and monitor asset utilization. It argues that undiscovered opportunities exist for wider collaboration across the public sector to build New Zealand's capabilities and realize the vision of a smart nation.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
