Keynote Topics
The Future of Money
- Fintech, Banking, and the Digital Customer.
The next few years will see dramatic changes to the way we use money, transact, transfer value, bank and insure ourselves and our businesses. These changes are driven by Financial Technologies (FinTech), but will affect every business in the world.
Talent Redefined
- Understand how high-performing talent adapts & functions in a changing world.
We live in a world that is changing rapidly. The things that worked in the past and made us successful may no longer work anymore.
This framework looks at six areas where high-performing talent functions in new, more effective ways – ultimately – how they distinguish themselves. Each point has simple self-test to raise personal awareness and application of the framework.
Millennials Today
- Connecting with, leading and managing young talent in a digital world.
Generation Y (Millennials) have grown up in a world very different to that of older generations. Globalisation has shrunk the planet. Technology is endemic and everything is expected to be enabled by it. The Internet has revolutionised not only the way Millennials access information, but the way they buy and sell, the way they socialise, and even the way they meet partners (in life and business). This framework introduces the Digital Natives (Gen Y), their world, and their view of “normal”. It provides tools and insights that will assist with effective integration and understanding of this new group
Tomorrow’s World Today
- The disruptive forces shaping the world right now, and how we should respond to the mega-forces, and what we should be doing about them.
This presentation or workshop provides a future-focused leadership toolkit, along with a compelling picture of the near future. It will inspire and inform in equal measure, and leave your team excited about the future while at the same time knowing what each of them can do to help you get there.
