Partnership Zone at Business Fights Poverty Oxford 2019

TPI is delighted to be co-curating the Partnerships Zone at Business Fights Poverty Oxford 2019, with WWF. This year’s Business Fights Poverty Event, bringing together more than 300 professionals and practitioners, focuses on how the rhetoric of purpose can be embedded meaningfully and consistently across businesses. TPI and WWF will be curating two workshops as part of the Partnerships Zone:

BREAKING DOWN THE SILOS 11.30am – 1pm

Our panel of experts and participants will explore next generation partnering: breaking down the silos not only between business and traditional development actors, but across both development issues and business areas to collectively deliver far more holistic and transformational solutions. We’ll be looking at the barriers and success factors for this kind of approach and asking the question: how can we wholesale shift business, NGO, UN and donors to make such practice the new normal?

Panel:
Nina Schuler, Private Sector Advisor, Inclusive Business, UK Department for International Development
Rebecca Morgan, Inspirational Business Manager, Sky
Maelle Pelisson, Business and Nature Coalition Manager, WWF UK
Darshita Gillies, Founder and CEO, MAANCH
Mairead King, Head of Account Management, Corporate Partnerships, Save the Children UK
Hina West, Head of Partnerships, WWF UK (moderator)

OPPOSITES ATTRACT – MOVING FROM CRITIC TO COLLABORATOR 2.30pm-4pm

The session will look at the more unusual side of partnerships, bringing a panel of experts and the audience together to work interactively through three fictionalised scenarios which are closely aligned to our panellists’ real-life experiences of challenging and sometimes dangerous collaborations. We’ll look at how to retain integrity in partnering, and what to do when partnerships get too close or when red lines look like they’re being crossed.

Panel:
Tracy Cambridge, Responsible Sourcing Director (Europe), Thai Union Group PLC
Sinead Duffy, Head of NGO Engagement, Bayer
Laura Hawkesford, Head of Private Sector Engagement, CARE International UK
Derek Yach, President, Foundation for a Smoke-Free World
Naomi Hicks, Director of Partnerships, WWF-UK
Nicky Black, Director of Social and Economic Development, ICMM
Darian Stibbe, Executive Director, The Partnering Initiative (moderator)
