Leadership: Inventing the Future
Why are many of today's leaders stuck in a void between Facebook and indigenous cultures? Why is checking morning emails more dangerous than smoking marijuana? Why does Coke taste better when you know it's Coke? How did the Australian Aboriginals sustain their environment for tens of thousands of years without a government or the internet? Effective leaders have a clear picture about their basic purpose and their teams share a common set of values, which provides a vision and drives actions towards high performance. The stories leaders share about the organization reveal the predominant corporate culture. The deliberate use of story can also be instrumental in shaping the culture. By identifying the stories people tell and analysing these, it is possible for leaders to gain an understanding of significant experiences and issues that may need to be acknowledged and managed.

The Collaboration Deception
Why do bees discriminate against some of their own in order to protect their collaborative community? How has tourism destroyed age-old farming practices overnight by ignoring collaborative principles? And what do the stone age hunters have in common with stockbrokers in terms of reasons to collaborate? The motivation behind apparent collaboration can be deceptive, and many teams need to understand what dynamics can drag a team down before they will be able to build a collaborative community. This dynamic keynote or workshop includes a fascinating social experiment based on game theory, that will challenge the smartest of players to build collaboration in an often cutthroat competitive environment.

Who Killed Who Killed Creativity? And How Can We Get It Back?
Who killed creativity? Was it X. S. Stress in the CEO's office with the 'Illusion of Invulnerability', or Beau Rock-Racy in the Cube Farm with the 'Scalpel Of Expertise'? In this colourful and lively Whodunit-like keynote talk/board game/or workshop, participants help solve a mystery using the latest brain research and sociological findings to discover 'Who Killed Creativity?' and how to can get it back. The just-released IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the number one 'leadership competency' of the future, and yet 300,000 CQ Torrance tests have shown that since 1990 creativity is on the decline. Tirian has also discovered in their workshops with adults, and their video 'HANDS UP' that as children progress through school and into the workplace, for many creativity declines. What are the causes of this trend? Do they exist in your workplace, and effect your teams performance, and if so, what can be done about it? Find out how creativity and innovation can improve results by up to 300% in your organisation.
