Insights into the secret science of behaviour change

Have you ever needed to change the way staff, leaders or even customers think, act and buy? Have you ever wished there were a formula that worked every time? We need to stop 'managing' change and start driving it. Changenomics is the ultimate equation for driving change in your organisation and really making it stick! Dominic Thurbon developed Changenomics through years of research and first-hand experience in deploying award-winning change programs to over 300,000 people a year. In this eye-opening and dynamic presentation, Dominic will leave your audience the tools to:

Make change happen in their teams (and for themselves!)
Drive more innovation and collaboration in your team or business
Attract, engage and retain the next generation of workers
Thrive in the workplace of the future

If only we all knew what we all knew

To get ahead in the knowledge economy, companies must capture the expertise already floating around inside their four walls. Using everything from better technology to better meeting discipline, unleashing collaboration is a sure-fire way to drive innovation, productivity and engagement. In a competitive market, we cannot afford to let collaboration be a buzzword – we need to implement real strategies for making it happen.

In this insightful and empowering presentation, Dominic will:

Give you the 5 behaviours to unleash collaboration, both personally and organisationally
Identify the common barriers to making it happen and show how they can overcome
Demonstrate the link between collaboration and innovation, productivity and engagement

Making innovation happen

There has never been a more important time to drive innovation in our businesses. As markets tighten and get more competitive, we are all under pressure to do more, with less, faster. But for too many companies, innovation is just a ‘value’ or a ‘buzzword’, not a practice that we all engage in every day. We can change that!

Based on first-hand experience around the world and deep global research, in this dynamic and empowering session Dominic will:

Identify the five drivers of innovation in your business and how to leverage them
Unpack compelling strategies to get every individual in your team to approach work with an innovation-mindset
Outline practical, real strategies for creating an environment that drives innovation

Understanding and engaging Generation Y

In the current economy, it has never been more important to win the war for talent. To do that, we have to find ways to attract, engage and retain the next generation of workers. The 4.5 million Aussies that make up Gen Y have different approaches to work, life, learning and careers – and we need to equip ourselves with the tools to inspire them as leaders.

Based on his companies face-to-face, first hand word with over 250,000 members of Gen Y every year, in this dynamic and provocative session Dominic will:

Unpack the mindsets of Gen Y, and factors that have combined to create them
Look at clear and practical strategies for successful intergenerational management
Help you drive change in the way managers work with and engage their team
Show how creating a Gen-Y friendly team actually creates a talent friendly team

Using 'Structure' to Sell as a Change Agent
November 6th 2012

Some people say that selling is all about personal influence, some say it is about the art of persuasion, others say it is about 'the hard sell'.

I've worked with sales teams around the world and I can tell you if you're making it about these things you're making it harder than it should be. I think we place over-emphasis on old-school Cialdini-like approaches to influence and reciprocity, and spend too little time on leading edge insight into the neuroscience of human behaviour and decision-making.
