Leader Shift

What are the challenges and how can you overcome them in regard to new markets, increased growth, speed of business and a talent deficit? How can you adapt your leadership style to be flexible and malleable to adapt to the needs of your team and your business?

Talent Shift
The “war for talent” is over!
The “talent war” which has been strongly contested over recent years is now over, and talent won. Businesses all over the world face the ever growing problem that there are not enough talented, enthusiastic, creative and skilled people to drive their business to where they want them to be. Many organisations have immense promise and capabilities – but without talent – they will never reach their full potential.

By profiling the existing talent pool, leaders will come to know:
Why the “reset” mentality defines today’s talent
What can you do if you lost the talent war
How to lead talent
How to make the Talent Shift

Speed Shift
It’s time to drive on the Autobahn of business
With the impact of globalisation and new technology comes an accelerated pace of business. The speed to communicate, share information, make decisions, and the length of the working day have all increased creating a level playing field for companies globally. So how do you use this to your advantage without losing control?
The business cup of coffee – Waking up and gaining momentum
The Autobahn of business – Lessons in driving at dangerous and unlimited speeds
Knowing the road – Learn the route to fast growth and doing business in developing
     economies
Business speed traps – How not to get caught out in a fast paced business
     environment

Market Shift
Where the people are is where the market is!
Summarised as “Peopleisation” – this shift will explore the idea that the new business age brings a global playing field in which the market is bigger, eastern, urban and the predominantly poor. How can your business adapt to this shift and position your product in front of the right clients, at the right price to give them the right solution? During this session, the following questions will be explored:
1. What does the Market Shift mean for your business?
2. What can you do to succeed in the Market Shift era?
3. As power shifts to the East, what implications are there for you and what do you do
    about it?
4. How is your business affected when the West sleeps and the rest of the world is
    working?

Growth Shift
Feeling trapped? Embrace a new definition and a catalyst for growth

In the past, popular opinion has been to look to developed markets for the biggest and most progressive examples of projects, buildings, business and strategies. But in the Growth Shift, we see the giants are now coming from emerging economies and people are beginning to look East in expectation that the new anchor of the world economy will shift to there.
Concern about growth in emerging markets is more prominent than in the West,
     what will the long-term impact of this attitude be, and who will survive?
Learn how to move from negative growth to double-digit growth by establishing
     a new definition of development
Understand how to lead the pack in the Growth Shift
