Game of Inches

This keynote is about giving participants an achievable process for small scale everyday innovation, based on research from interviewing over 100 of Australia's top entrepreneurs and business leaders and owners. It focuses on their actions and behaviours, not personality or character traits.

Business is a Game of Inches and not a one-off event. 99% of successes come from many small, practical steps rather than the single ‘Eureka’ idea. The big idea makes a good story in a speech, but it’s hard for delegates to incorporate into their everyday working lives. The truth is, the game of inches is what makes ‘big’ happen.

Nigel has drawn on interviews with a range of successful business leaders, owner and entrepreneurs, assessing their standout behaviours and actions they take. It is not who they are or what background they come from that counts, but rather what they do.

This session addresses at the four key actions of successful business leaders, which are conveyed as an accessible process so that they can be applied to any work environment.

Audiences of this session will:
1. Understand the value of the game of inches in business growth and success.
