My goal is to discover, share and facilitate inspiring ideas for business leaders. I design and facilitate interactive workshops, deliver keynote talks about the application of a model called The Organisational Advantage, as well as produce experiential learning experiences for leadership teams.

THE ORGANISATIONAL ADVANTAGE
The book GLUE is based upon a simple, but powerful model called The Organisational Advantage. The creation of a competitive advantage for a firm comes through generating new ideas and innovation and thereby boosting productivity. But this only happens when leaders actively seek to harness organisational “glue”. It is also possible to measure that glue in your organisation, using a tool called ‘The Organisational Advantage’ survey.
SPEAKING, PRESENTING and TEACHING
I speak at conferences, events, off-sites and thought-leadership forums on various topics including the future of work, leadership transformation, hybrid work, the organisational advantage, and the concept and application of glue. The format can be a keynote, or longer form exploratory talks and teaching, using interactive elements and rich media. The content and approach can be tailored to your audience and goals
WORKSHOP FACILITATION
I design, produce and facilitate engaging and thought provoking workshops for leadership teams, talented cohorts for organisations seeking a boost to their creativity, collaboration, or cohesion around their strategy, propose and impact. The approach, format and design is always bespoke to the needs and goal of the group.
THE ART OF HIGH PERFORMANCE
The Art of High Performance is a flagship creative programme - events built around enhancing and encouraging creativity and innovation in the workplace. The sessions are highly experiential. We even run an exercise where teams recreate a Masterpiece in under 45 minutes. (See below for a glimpse).
