The ‘WHAT’S NEXT’ for business

The ‘WHAT’S NEXT’ for business

The ‘WHAT’S NEXT’ for business

What if we could create a service to better manage people’s chronic health care? Reducing; wrong diagnosis, over prescription of drugs, clogging up hospitals and specialist time?

If you were born in the last millennium, I have news for you: innovation doesn’t happen the same way anymore. Alan is a charismatic visionary who studies the disruptive trends in the world of innovation and makes them very tangible to his audience. His book No Straight Lines is a great guide in how this works in real life.

These are some of the organisations we have worked with, studied, and, talked to

At board level you know your world is different, ambiguous and challenging.

| www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

We have entered an era in which the rules we have previously organised our lives and businesses around no longer apply.

| www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

Our research shows organisations and businesses face a pressing problem with identifying ‘WHAT NEXT’ looks like?

| www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

This 3 hour interactive introduction will bring you up to speed about why our world is different. It will connect the dots of our non-

linear world helping you make sense of it. | www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

We respectfully expect you to be active participants, and in that process you will:

[1] Learn about new tools, processes and language

[2] Learn how others have used those to solve complex commercial and organisational problems

[3] Apply that insight to challenge your own world view and to be able to rethink and recreate your business

The Benefit: you will leave with a clearer understanding of

WHAT NEXT could really look like.

| www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

We need to shift how we see and interpret the world so that we connect to our best future potential instead of continuing to operate from the experience of the past.

Agenda for workshop

Introduction - insight that explains why:

* Why we live in an age of overwhelming complexity

* Why this presents us with a trilemma of social, orgaisational, and economic problems

* Why these interlocking changes are driving the transition

* Why social everything is in fact ‘a human operating system’ that is reshaping society and all business

* Why that relates to economic and organisational survival

| www.no-straight-lines.com | making sense of our non-linear world | 2011 |

Agenda for workshop

A new literacy that describes – how:

* How to create new economic frameworks and sustainable value

* How networked organisational capability is the future of business

* How to run lean (velocity vs. cost) accelerating innovation and mitigating risk

* How new legal frameworks can aid economic growth

* How markets today and tomorrow are built on conversation – how that connection becomes an asset, a real connection, and an authentic one

* How data will redefine your business

* How systems thinking and designing for a complex world is not only desired but necessary

So who should come along? For those that have an urgent and pressing need to fundamentally rethink how to get things done better.

With fewer resources, and less time.

I found the fact that Alan was able to synthesize so many concrete, successful examples of the positive impact of new technologies as well as to identify the underlying threads which bind such nominally disparate innovations quite buoying.Chris Slowe - Chief Scientist at Hipmunk, Lead Architect and Manager at Reddit.com (A division of Wired Digital)
