beginner’s mindset

It can be extremely difficult to disidentify from something we were previously engulfed in. Are we willing to unlearn?

games that change behaviour

If message and method work together in harmony, the need for behaviour change is not forced – it's discovered.

a different type of knowledge

I’ve always been curious about what skillsets the future will demand from us and how we will need to reinvent ourselves and our organisations for the challenges that lie ahead

a shift in perspective

Sometimes, a shift in perspective can lead to the most profound personal learning experiences and fundamentally change the way we engage with the world.

detached from consequence

Are we still learning when we can’t see the consequences of our actions?

unexpected events

If you had the opportunity to practice your response to an unexpected event in a risk-free environment, would you take advantage of it?

ideas into action

Strategy is the idea; execution is turning that idea into action.

evolution of how we team

The networked world has changed the rules of the game; we need to rethink how we play.

status quo bias

How good is it to stick with the tried and tested? Or do you like trying new things?

answer the call

Adaptive teams rely on people that are willing to take ownership of a problem; willing to rise to the challenge of solving it.

the way we change is changing

What if change does not need to happen in a big transformative step? What if change is just a way of life?

systems upgrade

Sometimes our world views have shifted, yet our systems haven’t.

a new reality

The rules of work are changing. How we work together to execute strategy is changing. It requires a different approach to leadership, at all levels of the organisation.

towards adaptive

Adaptability is all about the ability to grow into a more complex perspective. And to grow means we need to let go of things that might have served us in the past.

culture and strategy

Have you have ever worked in an organisation, or in a division, where senior leaders have proposed a new strategy or idea, and you instinctively had that gut feeling it wasn’t going to fly?

learning through play

If experience is what we gain from making mistakes, wouldn’t it be better to create an environment where we can make lots of them?

less product, more experience

When was the last time you switched from an established brand or “trusted” provider? How bad did things have to get before you felt compelled to switch?
