Last year Dr Matt Finch and Brendan Fitzgerald held incredibly successful Futures and Impact workshops in Wellington. The two half-day workshops were received enthusiastically and the interaction and sharing with colleagues from across the GLAM sector was invigorating.
Feedback was that participants needed more time to use the tools and develop ideas, and more time to connect with colleagues. One participant reflected that; It was good to have people from outside your immediate context test your assumptions, and to do the same for others. We've taken all that on board!
LIANZA is delighted to announce that Matt and Brendan will now be returning to New Zealand this May to lead two-day workshops in Wellington and Christchurch. We are offering these intensive workshops to enable you take the time to turn your ideas into action, with support and coaching.

Glowing testimonials from past workshop participants:
- Best facilitator seen in a long time; a good understanding of both strategic planning and the library field
- Matt is one of the best. Clever listening and guidance and good subtle questioning of assumptions - a paradigm changer and questioner
- Being both perceptive and creative, Matt has consistently developed realistic and workable solutions which have been embraced by our teams.
- Matt was one of the best facilitators/speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working
with. He was very well prepared and invested.
