Connected Commercial: Unlocking Value Across the Contracting Lifecycle

Hosted by: Stats NZ
Date & Time: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 | 2pm - 5pm NZT
Address: 8 Willis Street, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011

What does it really take to operate as One Discipline with Infinite Impact? For many organisations, the answer lies in moving beyond functional silos and rethinking how commercial, procurement, legal, and finance teams work together.

Join WorldCC for an engaging and interactive session hosted by Stats NZ, where we explore what this shift looks like in practice.

This session brings together voices from across the commercial lifecycle, featuring perspectives from a graduate, team leader, senior executive, and supplier, to share real-world insights on how collaboration across functions can unlock better outcomes, stronger relationships, and more resilient organisations.

Through a dynamic “in-conversation” format, you’ll gain practical perspectives on breaking down silos, building capability at every level, and creating more connected commercial systems. The session will also include a short commercial quiz to keep things interactive, as well as informal networking over refreshments.

Whether you're early in your career or leading enterprise-wide transformation, this session offers valuable insights into how commercial and contracting can drive greater impact together.
