Updated list of presentations and programmes

My latest presentation, After Shock, is gaining a lot of interest. See the article I wrote about it here, and read about the presentation contents and outcomes here. Watch a six minute overview video here. I am very excited about this presentation. To be honest, if I were to start my career all over again, this would be the thing I’d like to start with. It has helped me draw a lot of threads together and bring together a lot of what I have spent the last decade doing.

The presentation looks at five disruptive forces that will shape the world of work in the next decade. The forces are:

• Technology – from biomedical advances to space tourism, and web 2.0 to mobile internet, we will be shaped by the impact of convergence, augmented reality and user-generated content.
  
• Institutional upheaval – there is a “new normal” emerging as the rules for success in almost every industry are changing
  
• Demographics – ageing populations, plummeting fertility and global migration are just a few of the demographic shifts that are fundamentally changing the world, our employees and our customers
  
• Environment – sustainability is now more than ever a business imperative, and should be developed as a business critical strategy
  
• Societal values – what we expect, what we value and how we live are all changing, as we change our views on issues as diverse as the role of women, homosexuality, the role of the family, work-life balance, how we want to be remunerated, what work environment we want, how we will work virtually, and how companies can motivate us. There is some surprising science behind these monumental shifts in societal values.

I really believe that these five headings provide a clear framework for strategy development for the next 3 to 5 years. Companies that understand how the world will change and the new rules for success in their industry will gain a significant competitive advantage as we emerge from recession. Every recession in recorded history has ended with chaos, as unexpected winners and losers rapidly emerge. This one will be no different, and these five forces will be key to your success in the next few years.

The other presentations I am able to present all provide additional information and insights into one or more of these five areas. You can see the full listing and overviews on my new look presentations page.
