Keynote Address - "Upgrade!"
We upgrade our phone.
We upgrade our computers.
Can we learn to upgrade ourselves and our organisations?
It’s bewildering. The pace of global technological and market change keeps getting faster, and faster, and faster.
Personal effectiveness alone is insufficient where, as Stephen Covey states in The Eight Habit, “The challenges and complexity we face today are of a different order of magnitude”.
We can’t just keep on struggling to keep up with the change, we need to learn to become the ones who benefit from it.
Danny’s research across hundreds of organisations reveals hidden practices that enable us to be more effective – not just at coping with change – but in consistently turning volatile change into value – together.
“Emerging theories of electricity did not change the underlying physics – but they did make it possible for us to build powerful high-precision equipment.”
We’ve all seen it. Major organisations – despite awareness, commitment, great skills and huge resources – struggle to make meaningful change. As Chair of a $200Bn firm put it “Yeh. We’ve done a couple of those $Bn transformation projects. And… they didn’t fail. But… they didn’t make a difference.”
Learn how we can not just “keep up” but become the ones who benefit from emerging technology and change.
“The ONLY way to get large organisations, sectors or even nations to change, is to get them to change themselves”.
Danny brings unique insight and perspective to expose the “hidden infrastructure” that makes complex living-systems organisations and sectors tick – with stories of how we can unlock our collective value creation capacity to thrive in an era of change.
