After a year of infighting at the Gore District Council a new leader for staff has been appointed. The new Chief Executive is Deborah Lascelles. She takes over from Stephen Parry who resigned last year after 22 years of service and a very public falling out with Mayor Ben Bell. Deborah Lascelles spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Gore District Council has rejected a second petition calling for its chief executive, Stephen Parry, to go. Parry's fractured relationship with the mayor led him to resign in September but he was appointed interim CEO last month until the council finds a replacement. Tuesday's meeting demonstrated the clear divisions still running through the council and the town. Timothy Brown was there.

Che joins Kathryn with another update on what's happening at the Gore District Council, where some ratepayers are unhappy with the decision to keep Stephen Parry on as interim CEO even after he'd announced his decision to resign. And the Council's procedures are in the spotlight over the way it dealt with a number of crab apple trees planted on the town's main street. The Tour of Southland, won by Englishman Dan Gardner, has been heralded a great success. And Che will also talk about the death of long-serving Southland Times editor and Dominion chief reporter Fred Tulett. He had 50 years in journalism and was considered a "true newspaper man".

Logan Savory is in Southland, where National's electorate candidate Penny Simmonds has held on to the seat by a landslide. In 2020 she beat Labour's Liz Craig by just 224 votes. This time around, the majority is closer to 9000. And just when things appeared to be resuming to normal at Gore District Council, it is back in the headlines. CEO Stephen Parry resigned last month following an ongoing tumultuous relationship with mayor Ben Bell. However the incoming interim CEO has now also resigned - and Mr Parry has been voted in to stay until a proper replacement is found.

Gore District Council's chief executive Stephen Parry is back in the role despite resigning last month. Parry resigned after failed mediation and months of tension with Mayor Ben Bell, who was elected a year ago. Reporter Tim Brown spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.  

Southland Times editor Che Baker joins Kathryn to talk about the latest in the Gore District Council saga, which has seen the resignation of long-serving CEO Stephen Parry. Parry says he leaves with no regrets and mayor Ben Bell - with whom he had a high-profile spat - has "wished him well". Southland's Charity Hospital has reached a milestone and the latest Groundswell NZ protest tour leaves Invercargill on Friday bound for Auckland.

RNZ Otago-Southland reporter Tim Brown is in Dunedin, where deputy mayor Sophie Barker has recently resigned, citing difficulties working with mayor Jules Radich. And big changes for Gore District Council too, with CEO Stephen Parry resigning after highly-publicised fallout with mayor Ben Bell. Tim also looks at the latest on the controversial Tarras Airport proposal.

Gore District Council's embattled chief executive, Stephen Parry, has resigned after more than two decades in the job. It's been a fraught term for the local government stalwart, with the 22-year veteran of the Gore District Council sharing a frosty relationship with Mayor Ben Bell ever since the 24-year-old became the country's youngest ever mayor in last October's local elections. Stephen Parry's resignation follows a very public spat with Ben Bell, with RNZ first breaking that the pair weren't speaking back in March. Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Otago correspondent Tess Brunton discusses another temporary closure of Oamaru Emergency Department, due to doctor shortages. And down in Gore, an $11,000 attempt to patch up relations between mayor Ben Bell and council CEO Stephen Parry. In Cromwell, frustrations over a decision by Waka Kotahi to oppose a proposed residential and business development due to its isolated location.

Gore District Council has spent $11,000 on facilitation in the hopes of leaving its troubles behind. They've been keeping tight-lipped about chief executive, Stephen Parry, and his clash with young mayor, Ben Bell. After months of requests Mr Bell and his deputy, Keith Hovell, sat down for an interview with Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown.

The Gore mayor and councillors have apologised to chief executive Stephen Parry. It follows months of turmoil after the relationship between Mr Parry and Mayor Ben Bell broke down. The council says it has confidence in Mr Parry and says they have all agreed to put their differences behind them. Our Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The dysfunction at the Gore District Council has been on display again with a petition calling on chief executive Stephen Parry to resign. The petition was rejected by all councillors at a meeting yesterday, but the mayor disagreed. Our Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, was there.

Gore District Council's chief executive is not going anywhere after a five thousand signature petition calling for his resignation was rejected by councillors. The public petition to remove Stephen Parry went out in direct response to a group of councillors calling for the resignation of Mayor Ben Bell. The chief executive and mayor have not been speaking, and the dysfunction at the council led them to agree in April to undertake an independent review into how things got so bad. Ben Bell presented the petition at a meeting this afternoon - where most councillors said it was not credible.

The Gore District Council saga continues with a petition calling chief executive Stephen Parry to resign presented at a council meeting yesterday. The petition had gained nearly 4900 signatures. It alleged there was a toxic, bullying culture the Gore District Council's CEO has a known history of. Former Invercargill Mayor, Sir Tim Shadbolt is wanting a statue to be made and erected in the city in his honour. However, Che says it appears the current mayor Nobby Clark doesn't agree. Sir Tim has declined to have a prominent Invercargill reserve, or the swimming pool, named after him as a part of a civic tribute.

The Gore District Council will this afternoon consider a petition calling for chief executive Stephen Parry to resign. The almost 5000 signature petitions came in response to calls from a group of councilors last month for 24-year-old Mayor, Ben Bell, to resign. Mr Bell and Mr Parry aren't speaking, and that broken relationship has reverberated around the council table, with battle lines drawn in the council chambers and in the community. Our Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown broke the news back in March that the two men aren't speaking, and spoke to Tim Brown

Gore District mayor Ben Bell made history in October last year when, at the age of 23, he was voted in as the country's youngest ever mayor.   But his tenure has been fraught with scandal and conflict so far, with his relationship with his chief executive Stephen Parry deteriorating to the point a mediator had to be called in.  For this special bonus, Georgina is joined by NZ Herald Christchurch senior reporter, Kurt Bayer, to discuss what has happened here, this week's extraordinary meeting and what happens next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Support for the country's youngest mayor from another mayor in the Deep South. Gore District Councillors shelved a vote of no confidence in 24-year-old mayor Ben Bell, during an extraordinary council meeting yesterday afternoon. They've instead opted for an independent review and mediation to address the broken relationship between Bell and council chief executive Stephen Parry. Southland District Mayor Rob Scott was in the meeting, and told Mike Hosking he's pleased with the outcome. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Gore there's been a big backdown on a move to express no confidence in the mayor, Ben Bell. The 24 year old mayor and the council's chief executive, Stephen Parry, haven't been speaking for months. The fallout from the fractured relationship led to the deputy mayor, Keith Hovell, and other councillors to call for Mr Bell to resign. Our Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, was at today's meeting and joins Lisa with the latest.

Protestors are planning to gather outside of an extraordinary council meeting this afternoon in support of their 24 year old Mayor. Council chief executive Stephen Parry and Mayor Ben Bell haven't been speaking since December, and last week, some councillors asked the Mayor to resign. Laurel Turnbull from the Mataura community board in the Gore district initally agreed to speak to Report this morning but then pulled out. Details of inner communications have been extremely limited, but an employment lawyer says there are some glaringly obvious holes in how the conflict has so far been handled. Employment lawyer Katherine Dalziel spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss from Christchurch.

It'll be another tense day at the Gore District Council today as the stoush between the Mayor, councillors and the chief executive heats up. 24 year old Mayor Ben Bell and long-standing chief executive Stephen Parry have been at odds for months. Most councillors have sided with the chief executive, indicating they want the Mayor gone. Councillors will consider three options in an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday: a vote of no confidence in the Mayor, a removal of the Mayor from all committees, or intervention from the Local Government Minister. RNZ Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown has been following the developments and spoke with Corin Dann.

The Gore District Council is holding its first public meeting since it was revealed its most senior elected and unelected officials are no longer speaking. Ben Bell ousted long-time incumbent Tracy Hicks by just eight votes to become New Zealand's youngest ever mayor at October's local elections. But since then he and the council's chief executive, Stephen Parry, have shared a frosty relationship. At a behind-closed-doors meeting last month councillors were told the pair have been in mediation since December and the relationship has broken down to the point they're no longer on speaking terms. Details of that meeting were leaked to RNZ, and that led to a call for an independent review into exactly what's going on. Our Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, has been at the meeting and joins Lisa Owen with the latest details.

The Gore District Council met publicly yesterday for the first time since it was revealed last month that Mayor Ben Bell and chief executive Stephen Parry are no longer speaking. The council canvassed the relationship between its most senior elected and unelected officials and agreed to undertake an independent review to find ways to restore confidence in the council. Councillors also moved to formally remove Mr Bell from the committee which oversees the performance of Mr Parry, and to appoint an intermediary for the two men. The latter was successful, but Mr Bell argued the former was not possible under local government law and he will be remaining on the Chief Executive Appraisal Committee.

The Gore District Council has been paralysed for months over the fallout of the fractured relationship between its mayor and chief executive. That was the way chief executive Stephen Parry summed it up himself during the first public meeting of the council since it was revealed he and Mayor Ben Bell aren't speaking. Our Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, was at the meeting last night.

The Invercargill Central Development Project has been a huge undertaking, Logan has an update. Plans are underway for a civic tribute to former mayor Sir Tim Shadbolt, meanwhile the Gore District Council has some trouble in the ranks with CEO Stephen Parry and Mayor Ben Bell not speaking, And Invercargill will host the New Zealand-Australia netball test later this year. Southland Tribune editor Logan Savory

One of the men at the centre of the stand off at Gore District Council was given a two year contract extension just days before a new council was picked. Chief executive Stephen Parry is no longer on speaking terms with the new mayor, Ben Bell. And both are now in place until 2025, when the next elections will be held. Timothy Brown explains.

Controversy continues to circle the Gore District Council, with the relationship between the mayor and chief executive having broken down so much, another councillor will now act as an intermediary between them. The council held a behind-closed-doors extraordinary meeting on Tuesday, where the relationship between mayor, Ben Bell, and chief executive, Stephen Parry, was discussed. At 23, Bell became New Zealand's youngest ever mayor when he ousted six-term incumbent Tracy Hicks by just eight votes at October's local election. Parry has been chief executive at the council since 2001. Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown spoke to Corin Dann.

This episode, Kate informs Matt about the fantastically hilarious “Ig Nobel Prizes”. The Ig Nobels are a parody of the better-known Nobel Prize, and they reward science that makes you laugh, and then makes you think. We take a dive into some of the most entertaining award winners from this year, last year, and across history. From levitating frogs and giving helium to alligators… to knives made from faeces and unboiled eggs. This is a wild ride of hilarious, but also super interesting science!  We also tackle a listener question about wind… how, and why, does it happen? As always, if you like our work you can find us @curiosityrat on twitter, instagram, and facebook, and send your listener questions in to curiosityrat@gmail.com We also now have a Patreon!

Episode 46 of the Modern Agile Show features an interview with Stephen Parry (@LeanVoices), Managing Director of The Sense and Adapt Academy and author of the pivotal book, Sense and Respond (2005). Based out of the UK, Stephen has decades of experience helping organizations actually transform (go beyond an existing form) rather than just improve. He tells an amazing story about how he helped Fujitsu win a 10-year contract with a major airline, beating huge competitors, by focusing on business value rather than what the customer requested. Stephen describes how many organizations get stuck focusing on improving and fail to fundamentally change the organization by changing how the organization changes. He describes what Sense and Respond really means and why he changed the name to Sense and Adapt. Learn more about Stephen at https://www.lloydparry.com and http://leanvoices.com.

Stephen Parry is a business leader, strategist, change designer and author with a reputation for large-scale global business transformation. He sat down with us for a fascinating deep-dive into addressing transformation in organizations that are often already overburdened.  According to Parry, during an org transformation, leadership tends to lose sight of the strategy, the org structures, and the investments in technology." Traditional leadership is just going down to the mid-management level and making sure they’re hitting the local numbers and trying harder, leaving the top decks with no captain. “  To resolve this problem, senior leaders have to trust the management at the mid level, and in turn middle managers must trust the staff below them. This enables leadership and middle management to perform the critical roles that cannot be done by those below them. Meanwhile, each manager’s reports must strive to “make your managers fantastic”, according to Parry. That calls for a trust strategy across the business. Parry calls this approach “power up” instead of “bottom up.”  Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Leslie Morse hosts.  Hear Stephen Parry speak live at the Business Agility Conference in Vienna, Austria May 20-21, 2019.   Learn more about our guest at https://www.lloydparry.com/  The Agile Amped podcast is the shared voice of the Agile community, driven by compelling stories, passionate people, and innovative ideas.

Guardian Australia’s political editor, Katharine Murphy, talks to Senator Scott Ryan, the newly elected Senate president, about succeeding Stephen Parry and the importance of both his role and institution of the Senate in Australia’s current political climate. Ryan is asked about concerns the Senate is more about political point-scoring than reaching consensus and explains why he has never seen the upper house as the defender of state’s rights • Scott Ryan on trust, partisanship and why he wasn’t deserting Turnbull’s sinking ship

And Alice speaks to comedian Shaun Micallef about the second season of The Ex-PM. Is it based on Kevin Rudd?

Author of "Sense and Respond: The Journey to Customer Purpose" Stephen Parry has a simple imperative: "Don't implement, grow." Organizational change isn't something you can implement, it's something the organization has to grow into. Management is so focused on "implementing the mechanics, and doing nothing with the dynamics". But Stephen advises, "You cannot implement an adaptive organization, you can only grow one."Stephen also touches on some of the other pressures impeding organizational change, for example, the legal implications: an employee's bonus may be affected by a change in role. In this case, the business can offer the bonus anyway as a motivator to get the employee bought in -- but few organizations are brave enough to do that. Stephen is also working with universities to look at the nature of the psychological change with Lean and Agile.SolutionsIQ's Kat Conner hosts at Business Agility 2017 in New York City.About Agile AmpedThe Agile Amped podcast series brings Agile news and events to life.

Software Process and Measurement Cast 338 features our new interview with Stephen Parry.  We discussed adaptable organizations. Stephen recently wrote: “Organizations which are able to embrace and implement the principles of Lean Thinking are inevitably known for three things: vision, imagination and – most importantly of all - implicit trust in their own people.” We discussed why trust, vision and imagination have to be more than just words in a vision or mission statement to get value out of lean and Agile. Need more Stephen Parry?  Check out our first interview.  We discussed adaptive thinking and command and control management! Stephen’s Bio Stephen Parry is an international leader and strategist on the design and creation of adaptive-lean enterprises. He has a world-class reputation for passionate leadership and organisational transformation by changing the way employees, managers and leaders think about their business and their customers. He is the author of Sense and Respond: The Journey to Customer Purpose (Palgrave), a highly regarded book written as a follow-up to his award-winning organisational transformations. His change work was recognised when he received Best Customer Service Strategy at the National Business Awards.

He is the founder and senior partner at Lloyd Parry a consultancy specialising in Lean organisational design and business transformation. Stephen believes that organisations must be designed around the needs of customers through the application of employee creativity, innovation and willing contribution.

In this episode of the Software Process and Measurement Cast we feature three columns!  The first is our essay on the Agile release plans.  Even after 12 years or more with Agile we are still asked what we will deliver, when a features will be delivered and how much the project will cost.  Agile release plans are a tool to answer those questions.  Our second column this week is from the Software Sensei, Kim Pries. Kim asks why is baselining so important. Kim posits that if we do not baseline, we cannot tell whether a change is negative, positive, or indifferent—we simply do NOT know. Finally Jo Ann Sweeney will complete the communication cycle in her Explaining Change column by discussing delivery with a special focus on social media. Call to action!
