Topics for Nigel Collin

The Game of Inches

This keynote focuses on an achievable process for everyday innovation based on research from over 80 top entrepreneurs, business leaders and owners. ‘The Game of Inches’ is a blueprint for using small consistent improvements to create big and lasting results for your business.

Work through four key actions successful organisations take.
Give participants an achievable process for everyday innovation and growth.

Igniting Innovation
What if innovation was an everyday occurrence on every level of your organisation? The challenge for many organisations is their people don’t think their ideas are of any value and they don't have a process in place to consistently drive innovation and ignite viable ideas.

Creating Ownership
When people take ownership of a task, a project or goal they will do extraordinary things to make it happen.

Great leaders don’t tell people how to do something, they set a direction, draw the best out of their people and give them permission to take ownership.

- Know how to draw the best from your people by aligning their purpose with your organisations.

Testimonials for Nigel Collin

Brilliant speaker and one that really relates to industry.

Nigel was extremely well received by our conference delegates. He is an excellent speaker and related his topic to our people very effectively.
Small Business Development Conference

What can I say about Nigel, he has worked with Nando’s for years and is not considered a contractor, but is a Nandoca and part of the Nando’s family. Every year we do things differently and Nigel is always there to provide help and guidance.
Nandos

Nigel’s insights into creativity and his assertions that everyone has the ability to be creative and innovative were eye opening. Nigel’s experiences combined with his knowledge were an absolute hit with our attendees, with each and every attendee walking away with a fresh approach to idea generation. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone looking to expand their creativity and capacity to generate original and practical ideas.
