  • Thriving on the challenges of change and innovation option A

    Every day innovation provides far greater value than continuous searching for your next big thing. In fact more often than not your next big thing will come from a small yet significant change to every day being and doing.

    • The challenge is enabling everyone to be skilled in personal disruption and respectfully challenging the status quo is integral.

    • Change management like strategic planning and performance management is an oxymoron. All 3 must be ditched and replaced with change leadership, strategic feeling and thinking and execution planning and buy-in, and performance leadership.

    Key messages
    • Self-leadership is everyone’s business and so-called self management really must be self-leadership supported by shared view about how management (i.e. processes, policies, procedures, practices and systems) delivers value.

Chairman

I first met Ian when he was a keynote speaker at an Institute of Directors meeting in UK. His delivery on the subject matter he presented on was passionate, sincere and his wisdom quite simply compelling. It was clear to me from first hearing him speak, that Ian is indeed a unique and influential individual, who has a great gift for sharing experiences and stopping people in their tracks and encouraging them to ask questions that affect all of us in our daily lives, but often we are too busy at work for example to either care or notice what is going on around us. Life after all, is not a dress rehearsal. Since then I have been able to actively benefit from Ian's guidance and advice, which have helped my focus and leadership skills from both a personal and business level and I trust in consequence become better balanced in how I strive to conduct myself and contribute more to what I perceive to be my social responsibilities. I count Ian as a good mentor and value his input, support and guidance.

Ian's talent in demystifying the complexities of 'Corporate Social Responsibility'(CSR) are evident not only in his down-to-earth e-books but also in his speaking ability. He is dynamic, well organized, uses interesting visual aids and inspires a commitment to action among his audience.
