Web Services That Are Changing The Way We Work

February 17th 2011

My clients often ask me which web services I use and why. At first, I advocated the Cloud as a way of saving money and avoiding cruel and unnatural suffering at the hands of in-house IT. But after a while, I realised that the most disruptive impact created by the Cloud was not the death of traditional software, but rather a potential transformation in the way we work, collaborate and engage with clients. The Cloud was a behavioural rather than a technological revolution. Many of the insights that emerged from my discussions with companies, both big and small – seemed at first counter intuitive. For example – why would sharing private data yield new patterns for profitability, outsourcing business processes back to your clients provide them with a sense of control, or avoiding work actually result in you being more productive? Anyway enough with the preamble – here is my list of the top nine Cloud services that have both changed the way I work, and more importantly, the way I think about it.

Tested by science!

August 1st 2012

One of the big challenges organisations face when they book a presenter for a conference is "will the attendees walk away and actually change behaviour". In a world first Dr Adam Fraser wanted to put his clients minds at ease by having a University study test to see if his keynote presentation actually resulted in a measurable change in behaviour.

Hints for greater happiness

March 27th 2012

We all want it but it appears that most of us don't have nearly enough of it. What am I talking about? Happiness!

Happiness research is now big business. Where once the secret of happiness was left to the philosophers to ponder, the world of science has since joined the party. Scientists want to know what makes us happy, psychologists want to know why, and marketers want to know how to make money out of our desperate need to be happy.

Why All This Change Is Hard To Do!

March 10th 2011

When I was an academic (in a previous life) I noticed that people in this environment were drawn to complexity. They would always find the most complicated way to explain something and always gravitated towards the most complex solution to a problem. My take on the driver for this behaviour was two things:

Is Technology Making You Dumb?

January 25th 2011

The following was taken from a Harvard Business Review article!

Do you have trouble concentrating? Find yourself easily distracted? Before getting in a tizzy that you have attention deficit disorder or something worse, check your stress level. New research shows that stress interferes with attention. The good news is that easing stress reverses these changes.

Rehab your habits

When we are truthful and take the time evaluate our habits we often find we have adopted unhealthy patterns that do no serve us.  Poor habits lead to poor performance, results and relationships.  The difficulty lies not only in understanding how bad habits are destructive but how we go about changing them.  This presentation is designed so individuals and teams can assess the habits that are holding them back.  Audiences have the opportunity to reflect on their own behaviour before Adam walks them through a 9 step strategy for rehabilitation.  This session is high in content yet tongue in cheek in delivery.

  • What habits do you need to put in to rehab and how to do it
  • What to do if you relapse and how to get back and how to stay on track

The Third Space

In life and work we are required to wear multiple hats that demand we transition between different roles and environments.  How do we move from one interaction to another without dragging the energy, mindset and baggage from previous interactions?  The Third Space is a fascinating and entertaining presentation that explores the human psyche as we transition between roles at lightning speed.

By understanding what The 3rd Space is and how to apply it audiences will identify what action they can take to positively influence work, life and relationships.

  • Audiences will understand they are personally responsible for how they choose to ‘show up’ and the true impact their engagement has on culture, performance and results.
  • Learn ways to help them better manage emotions and challenges and promote behaviour patterns that build rapport and trust relationships.
