We provide a comprehensive solution to making your conference, workshop or offsite event both productive and enjoyable. All our conference programmes are based on our original leadership research.

Where and when to use our conference and workshop programme:

• building leadership capabilities and teams
• resolving high stakes issues: strategy direction, project start up or revitalisation, merger integration, reorganisation
• starting up major change: building momentum and buy-in
• motivating and inspiring people with fresh perspectives as part of a broader conference progamme.

We provide a full facilitation and conference programme focussed on outcomes, through to key note speeches designed to inspire and motivate.

We work with groups of six to six hundred.

Major themes for keynote speeches

Good speeches should entertain and inform. Our speeches are based on four themes which all reflect original research:

1. Surviving the jungle: corporate and ancient tribes: this draws on our original research in Papua New Guinea, East Africa (the Likipia) and West Africa (Tuareg near Timbuktu, plus the Dogon, Bamara and Fulani). Surviving without the corporate life support systems and with the possibility of death for mistakes concentrates the mind wonderfully.
2. Mapping the future: in our research we have asked ancient tribes to map their territory. They have clarity, focus and alignment where many corporate tribes have complexity, chaos and confusion.
3. Who wants to follow you? This challenges conventional wisdom about leadership and is based on research with over 700 leaders, including video interviews with 30 of the most senior leaders.
4. The leadership journey. This pulls together all the research that is reflected in the definitive leadership book: How To Lead. It looks at how the rules of success and survival change at each level of the organisation and how leaders can learn to accelerate and continue their leadership journey.

Facilitation capabilities

Besides our proprietary method, Territory Mapping, we also use a full suite of alternative methods as required: meta planning, synectics, six hats, Chicago rules and more. Our objective is to achieve outcomes agreed with you, rather than to be process prisoners.
