Where to start? Is there a fail-safe model? What are the key success factors? And what are the common pitfalls or roadblocks ? What to do when things are not going to plan? In this speech, Jonathan translates his extensive business transformation and development experience into a tried and tested framework that helps you tackle organisational transformation with growth and success in mind, with a side order of trouble-shooting. Peppered with humorous war-stories and astonishing insights, this speech equips your audience with practical advice as well as an infectious readiness to make things happen.</p><div class="topics_services-border"></div></div><div data-w-id="1dd57904-d0a6-18b3-ec30-abdb950dd98d" style="opacity:0;-webkit-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0)" class="topics_services-item"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63072df7cfd3b06b7eb71e29/63072df7cfd3b0fe58b71e65_services%20logo%202.svg" loading="lazy" alt="Services Logo" class="topics_services-icon"/><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><h3>What does the future hold?</h3></div><p class="text-color-gray">Would you like to be able to gaze into the crystal ball and see what the future holds for you and your company?

An early adopter of blockchain, an entrepreneur and an investor, Jonathan moonlights as an advisor, and is on first-name terms with senior executives at Google, Apple, Nestle and IKEA, to name but a few. Drawing on the intelligence he has gathered from the business trenches, he provides an up-to-the-minute report on the key trends and thinking that will help shape the world we live in in the not-to-distant future, how they impact your organisation, and what you can do to stay ahead of the curve.</p><div class="topics_services-border"></div></div><div id="w-node-_0f4f0d10-81dc-d83a-f237-88a3caa4be87-26b71e2c" data-w-id="0f4f0d10-81dc-d83a-f237-88a3caa4be87" style="opacity:0;-webkit-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0)" class="topics_services-item"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63072df7cfd3b06b7eb71e29/63072df7cfd3b062e8b71e66_services%20logo%203.svg" loading="lazy" alt="Services Logo" class="topics_services-icon"/><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><h3>The change mindset</h3></div><p class="text-color-gray">Are you frustrated by the lack of urgency in the implementation of change initiatives in your business?

As the saying goes, ‘it’s all in your head.’ In this speech, Jonathan dissects the human resistance to change from a neuro-economical perspective. Did you know that we think around 70,000 thoughts a day, 90% of which are repeated thoughts from before? Jonathan will detail a road map that will enable the most stubborn brains to retrain themselves, to be ready for fresh challenges, and to make top-quality strategic decisions that allow organisations to survive and thrive.</p><div class="topics_services-border"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section><section id="videos" data-w-id="e1a043e6-89ae-e524-6d88-6a0ff7ff591a" class="section-videos"><div id="video" class="page-padding"><div class="container-large"><div class="padding-vertical padding-huge"><div class="videos_component"><div id="w-node-d1353111-1c5c-00c5-ae4b-3c970a201a92-26b71e2c" class="section_title"><h2 style="opacity:0;-webkit-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0)" class="text-color-gradient">Videos</h2></div><div id="w-node-a4e56f7c-9d69-7d21-366f-11dcd58989aa-26b71e2c" style="opacity:0;-webkit-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);transform:translate3d(0, 2rem, 0) scale3d(1, 1, 1) rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skew(0, 0);padding-top:56.17021276595745%" class="w-embed-youtubevideo yt_video"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i9XsYExrlaw?rel=0&controls=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&start=0" frameBorder="0" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;pointer-events:auto" allow="autoplay;
