Strategic thinking or innovation in yourorganisationPresented by Luke van der Laan

Audience: Middle Managers and Senior Leaders

In a rapidly changing world, many organisations are turning to new ways o thinking

and decision-making to increase their chances of success. This workshop will

introduce a simple but eective model that allows leaders to anticipate unexpected

change and to create preerred uture possibilities or their organisation. While theuture is unpredictable, understanding the dynamics o change and the reasonable

ways in which the uture could occur or your organisation is increasingly important.

Its not necessary to predict the uture accurately to be successul. Rather the ability

to move with change, to rapidly counter threats or capitalise on opportunities, is a

Leading a small teamPresented by Sam Dean

Audience: New managers and Small Business Owners

Leading a small team has its unique challenges. Small team leaders are

responsible or nurturing the success o their entire team on an individual level

as well as a complete unit. Because small teams work closely together, there

can sometimes be conusion about your role and your working relationship with

other team members. In order to lead a small team eectively, the leader needs

to understand their role as well as rely on and draw rom the contributions o other

team members. Even though you may be the leader, others within the team may

have experience, expertise, knowledge or relevant insights that could add to or

enhanceeffortsoftheteam.Thissessionincludes:

Experience two very different (and equally successful)

leadership styles in our thought starter sessions.

A new leadership paradigmpresented by James Gilshenan

We have an environment today, both economically and technologically, where

change is exponential. This change cancreateeither disruptive opportunity or

stress.Sohowdowepositionourselvestobenetfromtheopportunity,and

notsufferfromthestress?Linearcompaniesarevanishing,whileexponential

companies are taking over. $28 billion bluechip companies can vanish, while a

company with 13 employees can go rom nothing to $1 billion in a matter o a ew

years.

We are more networked and connected today than weeverhave been this

undamentally uproots the existing business models we have operated under.

Continuing tothinkin the same(old) way willnotwork; infactitmay beginto

work in reverse. History is arriving. Are you prepared or it and are you prepared

to thrive?
