Program 3 : I join you as a Board Member, Advisor, Mentor, Inhouse Futurist or Provocateur The Board and I Top 13 “now & next” issues every Board has to be able to answer, if they are going to have a FUTURE. ................................................ I love working with feisty, passionate, clever and strategic Boards, Advisers, Strategists and Key Decision Makers ensuring their knowledge, conversations, thinking and decisions are all profitably future focussed and provoking them to see beyond the ordinary and obvious and instead embrace the infinite possibilities ahead. ................................................ E ach Board and conversation is unique, but here’s my list of the top 13 hot provocative topics I’m putting on the agendas of Board and Strategy meetings around the globe, this year. 1. Board makeup, composition and regeneration – do you have the right blend of rear vision specialists and visionaries’ on your Board to address next, after next and beyond next challenges and opportunities? 2. Complex business models and emerging marketplaces – future oriented enterprises operate in global, dynamic asymmetrical marketplaces with businesses of all shapes, sizes, resourcing and longevity actively competing against each other. In these emerging marketplaces competition often comes from outside your industry, not within. How do you recognise, scope and take advantage of these new possibilities and recognise and release yourself from your past business models, legacy systems and wellworn practices and procedures’. 35 3. New technologies and digital landscapes – look at your world through the eyes of others. Explore the start-up scene around your industry, your business and allied industries. Which emerging technologies and trends are on your horizon? Which will impact you, when and to what extent? What new business models are emerging? Is your business truly digitally / physically integrated? 4. Digital Multicultural Leadership – todays’ work tribes are a mixture of humans on-site, humans off-site and humans digitally connected, but spread across the planet. How do you lead a disparate team of physical and digital tribe members, across time, culture, expectations, education, cultural morays and ROI’s? 5. People vs Machine – the scope of what work is, who does it, where and when it is done are all transitioning from a fixed time and place model to a fluid work model that allows the task and project to influence the who, what, where, how and when BOOK NOW!
