SPEAKING TOPICS

Digilogue:  The Convergence of Digital and Analogue
As some organisations careen recklessly into the digital future, others are being left behind. Smart companies are however realising there is an important middle ground – the Digilogue. A place where digital and analogue converge. Where progressive ‘digital’ strategies satisfy a customer's mind while the old fashioned ‘analogue’ practices sooth their hearts. This customized presentation will provide:

• Appreciation of the parts of your business that simply cannot go digital
  
• Insights into the real customer experience, the touch points that thrill them by speaking to their hearts and not their head
  
• Understanding of how to develop your digital ‘story’ in a way that actually attracts business
  
• Recognition of why customer service will never be replaced, but reborn in the Digilogue
  

Waves of Change:  Three Global Trends Disrupting your Slumber
Having your finger on the pulse of the market place has never been more important. We are operating in a turbo-charged environment that waits for no one. Waves of Change is a fascinating session covering the three major forces of change soon to be reaching your shores. A perfect session to shake off organisational ‘change apathy’ and prepare your team for what’s next. This customized presentation will provide:

• Insights into the key trends that are already upending your industry
  
• Tools to harness these game changing trends and use them to reinvent your strategies
  
• The ability to decode today’s landscape and use it as a way to drive innovation
  
• How to view change as a wave that can be channeled, rather than a threat
  

Change doesn't care whether you like it or not - it doesn't need your permission.
We upgrade, exchange and replace our software because we know that old technology, rusty circuitry and limited bandwidth won't suffice in the future. Yet why are we so reluctant to apply the same upgrades to our thinking? The current rapid pace of change in every industry, means that we need to be constantly upgrading our personal, organisational and leadership software.

The only way to make these upgrades is to understand how oncoming trends are likely to affect your organization, so you can act swiftly when the next tidal wave of information hits your shores. How would your company be different if your staff were inspired about change, rather than paralysed by it? Or if your leaders could raise performance to meet the oncoming generations, do more with less, and innovate their way into the future? Or better still, if you knew which trends were impacting your industry today and how to position your thinking favourably for the future?

Anders Sorman-Nilsson is a reformed lawyer, and the founder and creative director of the Sydney and Stockholm based research company - Thinque. His unique global perspectives have been helping leaders, teams, and business owners in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia make sense of and harness disruptive trends in innovations, generations and communications. His misfit insights have recently been manifested in his book Thinque Funky: Upgrade Your Thinking and amplified by endorsements via AFR Boss Magazine, Wired (UK), and Monocle.

Advising clients like Apple, MTV, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, SAP, McCann Erickson, CPA Australia, UTS Business School and Macquarie Bank on 'next practice', Anders' future thinking provides GPS directions for businesses, teams and leaders seeking to navigate a constantly shifting business landscape, and successfully enter a new decade of thinking.
