A platform for your voice

When you become involved with the Institute, you can explore what interests you. And we welcome people from all walks of life. Our programme addresses issues that will have a lasting impact on our lives and future generations in New Zealand.

We offer a range of seminars and courses in different formats. Our Leadership Seminars, held in the beautiful retreat setting of Queenstown, run in parallel with on-going Topic Seminars. Our Evidence and Values Based Decision Making Course is tailored for groups, allowing flexible scheduling at a location convenient for participants. Through Aspen’s global network we present International Dialogues, bringing you high level discussion from leading authorities on questions that matter most.  

We also keep you up to date with the latest curated view of global thinking on current issues. Visit our news section and join our mailing list for regular updates.

Topic Seminars for focused thinking

Topic Seminars discuss New Zealand’s most challenging and complex problems. Expertly moderated, with small groups of participants from diverse sectors, Topic Seminars focus on current issues, that require a 360-degree perspective for a positive outcome.

Leadership Seminars for inspiration

Leadership Seminars develop our next generation of community-spirited leaders to explore their core values to meet complex challenges, and to lead with clarity and conviction. Leadership Seminars are not skills training, but expertly moderated, intensely interactive conversations, for a small group of outstanding participants.

Courses for enhancing strategic decision making

Our Evidence and Values Based Decision Making course offers a transformative approach to strategic decision making, equipping participants with tools to enhance personal and organisational decision making skills. Through a robust framework grounded in real-world evidence and personal values, participants gain the confidence to navigate complex challenges with clarity and conviction. 

International Dialogues for global connectivity

In this series we present conversations on topical issues with experts of world repute and our International Partners, providing international perspectives on issues that impact New Zealand and the world. 

Participants forge new relationships and those who take part in our courses, topic and leadership seminars join a vast professional network of alumni from around the world.
