  • Stakeholder Day

    Thursday 21st January 2021

    Our annual Stakeholder Day will take place on Thursday 21st January 2021 via Zoom.

    The stakeholder day will bring together LifETIME students, academics, industry partners, iClub members and steering group.

    The purpose of the stakeholder day is to capture our stakeholder views from which the management will use to refine the CDTs impact strategy. In the morning a facilitator will capture CDT subjects, highlighted and raised by stakeholders. These subjects will then form the basis for the discussion points in the afternoon.

    The afternoon will consist of six co-current discussions over three different sessions. Each session will be 30 minutes long and stakeholders will have the chance to attend the discussion most important and relevant to them. The discussion sessions will use open space principles and responses and suggestions will be collected.

    To reduce the time spent on zoom we ask that in advance of the event all attendees watch the short video clips here. Watching these short videos clips will ensure that the event is more worthwhile for the stakeholders on the day.

    There will also be an opportunity for all attendees to network.

    The full updated programme is available here.
