Unshrink the People. One day exclusive Management Conference - London
04 Aug 03

To raise funds for ChildLine we have negotiated a one day EXCLUSIVE conference at the famous revolving 34th floor of the BT Tower on 29th October 2003.

"Few firms give any kind of priority to the development of workforce skills and responsibility. UK companies are less inclined to empower workers than their competitors."

Robert Taylor - High Road/Low Road: Skills and Innovation in Britain's Workplaces

Extensive research shows that only a small proportion of the ability of our people is being used. The rest is latent. Wasted when it could be solving the problems faced by your business, by your customers, and by us all in our daily lives.

Because as a society our individuals are no longer content to dedicate their lives to work without meaning. And because as organisations we are dealing with complexity that is beyond the ability of micromanagement to cope let alone thrive.

The power of self-direction frees the unused abilities of individuals while transforming managers from nagging parents into collaborating colleagues.

Woven around their thought-provoking discussions will be creative team based activities developed to help participants experience the power of the principles discussed and discover their practical application.

For today’s leaders who want to get more from their people, innovate faster than their competition, benefit from increased customer loyalty and profitability, and still have a life to spend with friends and family.

This conference is a great opportunity for senior people in the UK to learn about and implement the very best of leading edge management thinking about organisation, motivation, and customers.

The main programme for the day will include a series of keynote presentations from Max McKeown and guests.
