NQ Dry Tropics invites you to Allan Parker’s Succession negotiation workshop series.
In a rapidly changing world, we need to evolve to stay in step with our surroundings. Succession negotiation helps individuals, groups and communities create practical, future-ready succession pathways. It moves us beyond ‘business-as-usual’ toward transition, transformation, and ultimately co-creation — unlocking new ways of thinking, working and progressing together.
