From perma-crisis to consequences, from meta-madness to moments of optimism …

Incredible technologies and geopolitical shifts, complex markets and stagnating growth, demanding customers and disruptive entrepreneurs, environmental crisis and social distrust, unexpected shocks and uncertain futures.

What does it take to drive a business for innovation and growth … and to lead a business towards a better future?

The answer lies in a reinvention of these three mindsets – stepping up to make sense of a rapidly changing world, to explore new ways to win, to step back as a team to rethink where and how to win, and taking the best new ideas from around the world, the new relevant concepts, to experiment and learn by doing, to be an expeditionary, transforming leader.

• Bold leadership that is “heads up”, not heads down – having the courage to let go of the past, to create a better future.
• Strategic innovation, rather than strategy or innovation – reimagining markets, then business, then solutions.
• Transformational action, rather than efficiency and change – taking your people on a journey towards a better place.

Time for a boost. Time to accelerate your mind, to up your game. Time for action.

Success strategies are more than digital platforms, live-streaming influencers, gamified events, Insta graphics and TikTok cool. It’s time to unlock the next CX of brands, and next OS of business.

We explore how businesses can survive and thrive, and move forwards to create a better future. How to reimagine business, to reinvent markets, to reengage people. We consider what it means to combine profit with more purpose, intelligent technologies with creative people, radical innovation with sustainable impact.

We learn from the innovative strategies of incredible companies – from consumer goods to healthcare, financial services to travel – inspired by disruptors like Biotech and Liquid Death, 23andMe and Good Doctor, DBS to Klarna, Netflix and Nio, Shein and Spotify, and many more.

Megatrend Markets

We live in a time of incredible change. Dramatic, pervasive, and relentless. More change in the next 10 years than the last 250 years. Incredible technologies, expectant consumers, climate crisis, social distrust, and much more. How will you embrace the megatrends? Disruptive technologies, connected and intelligent; economic power shifts, 80% of the middle class in emerging markets; resource scarcity, where water is the biggest risk; demographic change, where markets are older, demanding and mobile; and rapid urbanisation, 33 of the 45 megacities in Asia.

• Every market is shaken up, how the pandemic accelerated futures
• Asia to AI, GenZ and gene-editing, sustainability and the super-apps
• Megatrends, markets and metaverses, and what they mean for me
• What it means to be “digital” in a tech, human, changing world?
• Customers around the world, and the new agendas and behaviours
• What can we learn the world’s most innovative companies right now
• Turning challenges into opportunities, driving exponential growth.

Future Codes

The old codes of business don’t work anymore. The most innovative companies – from Apple and Bytedance, to Coupang and Deepmind – succeed with new codes. So what are the new ideas to win in a fast and dynamic world of Asian renaissance, entrepreneurial supremacy, social conscience and smarter machines? What can you learn from Jio’s revolution in India, DBS’s transformation of banking, PingAn in insurance? How can you be inspired by courageous leaders like 23andMe’s Anne Wojcicki, Haier’s Zhang Ruimin and Citigroup’s Jane Fraser?

• Finding purpose, driving moonshots, starting from the future back
• The best brands are not B2C or B2B but C2C. Be the facility.
• Marketing is no longer about products, campaigns, or sales.
• Instead think individual, realtime, on demand, enablement.
• Unlocking platforms, communities, influencers and ecosystems.
• The new OS of business, and the new DNA leadership
• Having the courage to reinvent the future now!

How will your business ride the relentless waves of change – addressing crisis after crisis, embracing megatrends and metaverses – to shape a better future?

Incredible technologies and geopolitical shifts, complex markets and stagnating growth, demanding customers and disruptive entrepreneurs, environmental crisis and social distrust, unexpected shocks and uncertain futures.

The challenge for every business, particularly those seeking to invest in the future, is about making sense of today’s rapidly changing world, and understanding how to prepare for, and succeed, in tomorrow’s world.

We explore how businesses can survive and thrive, and move forwards to create a better future. How to reimagine business, to reinvent markets, to reengage people. We consider what it means to combine profit with more purpose, intelligent technologies with creative people, radical innovation with sustainable impact.

In this specific version of the keynote, Peter Fisk works with the global leadership of Schroders, one of the world’s leading investment management companies, to take on the challenge, to shape their industry, and seek a better future.

 

 

 

 

 

Incredible technologies and geopolitical shifts, complex markets and stagnating growth, rocketing inflation and global conflicts, demanding customers and disruptive entrepreneurs, environmental crisis and social distrust, unexpected shocks and uncertain futures. The challenge for every business, is about making sense of today’s rapidly changing world, and understanding how to prepare for, and succeed, in tomorrow’s world.

How are the most innovative businesses seeking to create a better future? How do they reimagine their business, reinvent markets and organisations, reengage people? What does it really mean to combine profit with more purpose, intelligent technologies with creative people, radical innovation with sustainable impact?

Transformation is more than digital, it is also about the choice of future markets, new business models, rethinking supply chains and partners, responding to new agendas like sustainability, changing the ways in which they work. Technologies, from AI to data analytics, cloud to blockchain, open up new possibilities, which they have perhaps never imaged, but could transform their future.

Are you ready to change the world?

Creating innovative strategies for business and brands

“Gamechangers” are disruptive and innovative, start-ups and corporates, in every sector and region, reshaping our world. They are more ambitious, with stretching vision and enlightened purpose. They see markets as kaleidoscopes of infinite possibilities, assembling and defining them to their advantage. They find their own space, then shape it to their advantage. Most of all they have great ideas. They out-think their competition, thinking bigger and different. They don’t believe in being slightly cheaper or slightly better. That is a short-term game of diminishing returns. 

1.     Play … the game, change the game.

Today’s brands and businesses are playing a new game. They recognise that the steady state has been replaced by a zigzag world, where ideas shake up every market, and winners create the future in their own vision.

2.     Change … world-changing, game-changing

Discontinuous change in markets requires disruptive action. Power shifts and global trends drive exponential change and new possibilities. Incrementalism is not enough to win this new game.

3.     Win … the Gamechangers, and what they do

There is a new breed of business, changing the world right now, bu thinking bigger and smarter, winning in new ways. Do you have what it takes to change the game? Are you ready?

This book is about you, and how you can change your game. In part one we explore the 10 dimensions in which you can achieve this by thinking differently. In part two we look at the 100 companies, chosen by you, who demonstrate these new practices. In part three you’ll find the change maps, the toolkits for your success.

Transformation is a “significant, lasting and irreversible change in value creation logic” … where 25-30% of revenues come from new areas … typically growing faster than the core, and becoming the new core … and it typically takes 7-10 years.

I work with the excellent Christian Rangen from Strategy Tools who has produced this great CEO Handbook to get you transforming … Together we deliver fabulous transformational programs for executives and their organisations.

We also create fantastic simulation-based learning experiences. Imagine you are the exec team seeking to transform the mobility sector. What’s your strategy? Where will you focus? What’s your business model? How will you outthink Tesla, and create $50 billion?

“In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.“

Ferdinand Porsche founded the company in 1931, based in Kronenstraße 24 in the centre of Stuttgart. Initially, Porsche offered car design and consulting services, but did not build any cars under its own name. One of the first projects was from the German government to design a car for the people; that is, a Volkswagen. This resulted in the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most successful car designs of all time. The Porsche 64 was developed in 1939 using many components from the Beetle.

In 1948, the Porsche brand was created. Later that year, the first Porsche model, the Porsche 356, was introduced with less than 100 cars produced the year after. Other models, like the 550 Spyder, were introduced later on, and the company grew immensely.

Volkswagen and Porsche have a long history together, of investments and management and collaborations. They merged in 2011. Volkswagen Group became the parent company, with a wide range of  luxury car brands, also including Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini.

Volkswagen is considering spinning off its profitable Porsche division into a separate company with its own stock listing. The transaction would help the German automaker raise money to invest in electric vehicles while also potentially returning more control of the high-performance carmaker to descendants of its founder.
