A
The purpose of this course is to provide participants four (4) new perspectives to
lead others in a rapidly changing environment. The program is especially useful for
those who are open to new management practices, and prefer innovation to strict
compliance in their business environment.
Target Group
n a world of rapid changes and innovations, it is surprising to see many
organizations are still governed by management practices that were essentially
developed in the Industrial Age: Hierarchy, division of labour, objectives, rules,
compliance, etc. Little wonder is there that most managers found themselves faced
with an increasing proportion of workers who are unmotivated order-takers, or
dissatisfied burnouts. As a result, many organizations are not able to utilize the full
potential of their staff. Some suffer from the burden of carrying too many underperformers. Some see a high staff turnover.
What participants will learn
At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify the roles and key elements of modern day leadership
• Facilitate emotional management in the team
• Influence others
• Drive a change
• Lead by asking the right questions

Unleash ideas, innovation & growth... NOW!
About the presenter of our two(2) NEW programs
1. 29 January, 2015
2. 30 January, 2015
Speed Thinking and Ideas Blitz
Rapid Innovation
Dr Ken Hudson is a creative & innovative keynote speaker, facilitator, consultant
& trainer. He has spent the past 15 years working around the world with current
& future leaders to grow their brands, business and people by unlocking the
creative & innovative potential of every individual & team.
Over the past 10 years, as a facilitator, he has designed and facilitated:
• Strategic planning days,
• Revenue growth projects,
• Leadership team away days,
• Brainstorming sessions,
• Marketing Planning, ideation and new product sessions with clients from
numerous industries.
6 ways to sell your ideas with greater success
I have presented and been on the receiving end of countless presentations of
new ideas. Here are my 6 tips on how to help you sell your ideas with more
success.
1. Present a usual idea, a different and a radical option.
Using this framework gives the receiver or judger a real choice covering 3
distinct options.
This is much better than presenting say 3 ideas that are very similar.
2. Give the concept a catchy name or label.
Rather than just list all the elements of your new idea start with a catchy label
e.g. this is the premium idea.
This has 3 big advantages -- it is easier for the receivers to remember your idea,
they do not get lost in the details and even if they do not like the elements of
the idea they may still agree with the overall concept.
He delivers results against the objectives, engages everyone and inspires them
to action. He has a powerful, effective tool-kit that can unlock the creativity
& energy of all participants. He is a facilitator who guarantees breakthrough
results. He can also help build a more creative and innovative culture and
capability.
3. Be passionate about your idea.
If you do not believe in your idea no-one else will. Also evaluators are buying
the person as much as the idea itself. An ok idea sold with great enthusiasm can
often win the day because ideas need energy to overcome the many barriers to
implementing or testing the idea.
As a keynote speaker, innovation consultant, trainer & strategic planning
facilitator, he helps managers and leaders to unlock new growth opportunities
by helping them think differently about their organisation, market, industry and
product range.
4. Talk about the idea in terms of other (successful) ideas.
This is the Hollywood way of pitching an idea. For example, I just saw Brad Pitt
in a WW2 drama called “Fury”. You can imagine the people who created the
idea by saying this is a drama about a tank crew fighting against each other and
against the enemy -- similar to “Saving Private Ryan”.
Unlocking new revenue growth opportunities
New growth opportunities can be unlocked with new thinking, questions and
tools. He can help design and facilitate cross-functional teams to inspire, create,
prioritise and deliver incremental revenue growth.
People instantly get what you are talking about and your new idea is linked to
an existing, successful concept (i.e. movie). This is particularly important if your
new concept is very innovative. You will have more success if you can link it to
something that exists is the consumer’s mind. For example, many years ago
when I worked in advertising we won a new business pitch by talking about
Tacos (i.e. a new food) as a kind of Mexican hamburger (i.e. something that
exists already).
Clients Include : 3M, Roche, Dell Computers, Quantas, Hilton Hotels, Mars,
Baxter Health Care, Plan, MYOB, Heinz, Westpac and Suzanne Grae.
Some of his recent Strategic Planning, Growth & New Product Development
(NPD) assignments include:
• Worked with a financial services leadership team to develop a digital strategy
• Redesigned the shopping experience for a major retailer
• Developed a range of breakkthrough new product concepts aimed at Vets.
• Created and evaluated a range of Third Horizon growth opportunities for an
insurance company.
• Researched and generated a new value proposition for the HR department of
a major packaged goods company.
Dr Hudson has written 3 books that have been published in 9 countries. He has
also written many articles about creativity, innovation & speed thinking.
5. Identify the problems or gaps with the idea.
There is a valuable practice. Rather than trying to hide any deficiencies in your
hide and wait to see if they will be discovered it is better to identify these up
front and how you plan to address these.
You will get more points for thinking through the concept and you will
engender a feeling of trust with the receivers of the idea.
6. Provide a pathway to test the idea.
And lastly it is always a great idea to provide the judgers (or client, boss, leader
etc) with a way to test or pilot your new approach.
Again you demonstrate that you have thought through your concept and you
are providing the other person with a simple, low-risk way of testing the idea.
Happy innovating.
Ken

NLP:
• Getting connected with others under emotional stress
• Creating safety in interaction
• Relating the communication behaviours to conflict management

When we communicate with someone, we are seeing, hearing and feeling.
The words we use are called speech predicates. If we pay attention to the
speech predicates used by others, we get insight into their inner world. If
we match others’ speech predicates, we tend to build deep rapport. The

Kinesthetic – language that builds rapport in a dialogue. The language
creates the following outcome:
• Engagement
• Commitment

A key NLP principle believes that the person with the most behavioural
flexibility will often control any given situation. The participants will practise
flexibility in adapting to personality styles. They will learn through a personality
profiling questionnaire and case studies on conflict behaviours:
