Women in Strategic Decision Making

We are growing the number of women in strategic decision making and providing support to women decision-makers.

About WiSDM

We know that diversity of opinion is key to achieving great outcomes in decisions that matter. We are committed to having women represented and supported in decision making roles.

We share experiences, build best practice and provide a pathway for women decision-makers of the future.

We identify gaps and obstacles that make it hard for women to participate in strategic decisions, and create momentum around these issues to effect change.

We seek to educate and inspire others to take action, and welcome people of all gender identities in our community.

We do this through community building, sharing experiences, coaching, mentoring, and training for women who aspire to (and are already occupying) roles with responsibility for strategic decisions.

How will your organisation grow and support women decision makers this year?

We are delighted to offer tailored programs to develop and sustain the decision making skills of women.

Participants in our 2022 programs were thrilled with their results and the opportunities to engage with senior and respected women leaders.

Reach out for a confidential chat.  Together we can decide the future.
