From 1998 to 2009, over eighty papers were presented at the annual Ceifin conferences, focusing on key social issues facing Ireland. Values - Leadership - Change: Messages from Ceifin is a collection of the ideas presented during these twelve annual conferences.

Grouped into four themes, the lessons focus on the twin values of our inner identity and collective potential, drawing from both Christian and humanist traditions. They recommend that we integrate these values into the mainstream of public policies: promoting social capital of networks and reciprocity; resourcing people to realise their potential with authenticity; and providing a framework of power and leadership based on equity, quality and vision in a global world.
