Hello & welcome.

When Crea%vity is the strongest economic currency, Experience
the new cost of entry, and Human the only meaningful strategy,
it’s safe to say the game has changed.
But before we leap to quick, safe or familiar soluGons, let’s pause
for a minute and ask ourselves a few meaningful quesGons.
What do we really know of the emerging economic climate? How
are the preferences of our people changing? And where do the
biggest threats (and opportuni.es) exist for our kind of enterprise?
What do we know?
DramaGc changes to the pace & shape of work have
underlined the need to update our approach to
Talent & Team Development.

25%
Today, crea9vity & innova9on must be a business priority.
But only 1 in 4 employees feel they have the creaGve capability to
deliver what is now being asked of them. And 80% of people feel their
company sGll values producGvity over creaGvity.
If crea9vity is the heart of business innova9on,
and innova9on is the engine of growth, we have a big problem.

of cross-functional teams
are dysfunctional
The challenges we now face are too rapid, volaGle, and complex
to be solved in isolaGon. To thrive companies need a network of
agile, inclusive & innovaGve teams, charged with the power to
act and adapt in real Gme.
But 75% of cross-funcGonal teams are currently dysfuncGonal,
with hierarchies and a lack of trust being cited as major
roadblocks to collaboraGon & innovaGon.
If our value is no longer determined by what we know
but what we share, we have an even bigger problem.

75%of millennials will leave
their job within 2 years.
*2017 Australian Millennials Research Project
Nowadays, a dynamic employee experience and ongoing career
development are crucial factors in the war for talent.
But 75% of millennial employees would leave their job tomorrow
for the promise of more meaningful work.
If meaning, belonging and growth are the op9mal employee
experience, why are so many companies s9ll relying on
tradi9onal forms of remunera9on, promo9on and
‘chalk n talk’ style training programs?
This is a recipe for irrelevance.
Experience.

Whether you’re a high-growth startup, a mid-sized enterprise or a mulG-naGonal
monolith, the results are in. Our current model for engaging & developing
our people isn’t working.
What if I told you there was another way?
A pracGcal pathway to unleashing the next generaGon of creaGve leaders within
your company, fostering an agile network of innovaGve, inclusive teams, while
engaging all of your talent through a dynamic sequence of learning experiences.
I know what you’re thinking – ‘When do we start?’
An alternative.

These robust, acGon-based programs challenge parGcipants to
know themselves, their company and their market more
deeply. To confront and embrace uncertainty, and look beyond
average outcomes or expectaGons.
Your people will be given the tools to reimagine their creaGve
capability, push for truly innovaGve soluGons, and generate
more value for the organisaGon by nurturing the creaGve
growth in others.
My mission is to give your people a pracGcal pathway to their
best work, and your company a consistent and compounding
compeGGve advantage.
But don’t just take my word for it…
