Keynotes
Lord Coe
Driving Dynamic Decisions
Lord Coe will give an inspirational talk leading through the unified journey, the performance, the decisions that lead to performance and the keys to a sustained high-level performance.
Starting with the journey through his athletics career, Lord Coe speaks of how it came together and of what he took from that moment in his career. He will then talk about putting together teams, the choreography, values and vision around that for the teams that won the Olympic bid and delivered the most complex piece of project management known to man – the construction of an Olympic project.

Lord Coe will speak on the tough decisions that lead to momentum on different levels. Discussing how teams were identified, talent developed, and the legacy value beyond the games. The sustainable advantage being to find, absorb, learn practical information quicker that the opposition and we did that better together, than in silos.
From a wealth of analogies of a bigger optimistic picture, Lord Coe illustrates why, what and how the necessary critical decisions were arrived at and what lessons were learnt from decisions that failed. It’s all about people and relationships and mutual trust. [/show_more]

Rachel Botsman
Trust in the Digital Age: Why it matters now, more than ever
To survive and thrive, an organisation needs trust – and we need it now more than ever. It’s fundamental to almost every action, relationship and transaction. Yet the rules of how trust is built managed, lost and repaired are rapidly changing in the digital age. The trust we used to place in traditional institutions – governments, banks, media, and charities – has hit an all-time low. Trust is now flowing horizontally through systems and networks, in some instances to our fellow human beings and, in other cases, to programs and bots. The implications, both good and bad, for organisations, institutions and society are immense. Be it data breaches or misinformation, automation or algorithms, technology can feed our deepest fears yet embody our greatest hopes.[show_more more=”Read more” less=”Read less” align=”left” color=”#003f5e”]
Drawing on extensive research and stories from her new book, Who Can You Trust?, Rachel Botsman illuminates with clarity, humour and optimism, the real impacts of technology on trust, giving companies clear language and thinking to embed trust into the fabric of the organisation. She reveals in ways that are both entertaining and informative, what leaders and companies need to adapt to this new era, to gain and keep customer’s trust. [/show_more]
Dean Minuto
Yescalate; Getting to ‘Yes’ faster
Dean will present a unique set of tools distilled from more than 100 years of research in the decision sciences which will show you how to get to yes faster and more often, and in an honest and ethical way. Who do you need to get to yes with? This is not a talk about sales. Unfortunately, sales is sometimes associated with manipulation and mistrust. In reality, though, the truth is very different: when done right, influence actually encompasses our most virtuous qualities as humans. The fact is that most communication involves influencing and persuading other people to one extent or another. . . if you are dealing with people, you need to get to yes!
