Keynote Topics

We have been living in an era of disruption and rapid change for some time, but never before have we faced changes as rapid and drastic as those caused by the Coronavirus.

 

Suddenly, everything is different. Over the next few months organisations and businesses will face big challenges.

 

To meet them, they will have to find new and better ways of doing things. More than ever before, your people need to be equipped with the skills they need to be innovative, so they can be constantly coming up with better ways of doing things.

 

In eight years hosting ABC-TV’s ‘The New Inventors’ James O’Loghlin worked with over a thousand innovators, and in his entertaining and thought-provoking keynote and/or workshop he will share practical strategies to equip your people with the skills they need to be innovative every day.

 

In this session you will learn:

 

An understanding of how innovation happens; the 3 things innovators do better than others
Easy-to-implement strategies to identify opportunities for innovation in your business and take advantage of them
How to create an organisational culture that encourages everyone to be innovative
How to quickly and cheaply identify the best new ideas and implement them”

How often do you have days when you are so busy you don’t have time to think?

 

Days when there isn’t one spare moment to think about how you can improve the way that you do things?

 

No matter how well your business is doing today, if you keep doing things the same way, in 10 years’ time – maybe less – you will have been left behind.

 

To stay relevant and successful, businesses need to keep coming up with better ways of doing things. In eight years hosting ‘The New Inventors’ ex-Australian lawyer James O’Loghlin met hundreds of people who thought outside the box and came up with new and better ways of doing things.

 

During this corporate keynote James O’Loghlin will talk about:

Why every business needs to be continually innovating and how individuals can do it
The three things innovators do better than everyone else, and five things every business can do to build a workplace culture that encourages innovation

  • Overcoming the barriers to innovation
  • CREATING AN INNOVATIVE CULTURE
