Making sense of the New World of Work
Presentations and workshops are important components of any attempt to change attitudes and behaviours in your company. We use world class presenters who customise their content and style based on your event, the audience and the culture of the audience, but always ensure an energising mix of information and inspiration. Our style is to be powerful and playful, using multimedia driven keynote presentations and interactive workshops, based on the latest research, case studies and our ongoing experience with clients across multiple industries.

Most thought provoking, interesting and engaging presentations, tailored to suit different audiences.

The TIDES of Change – five disruptive forces shaping the new world of work
We live in turbulent times. The economic downturn of the past few years has been more than a financial crisis. As we slowly emerge from recession over the next few years, we will discover that political, corporate, social and personal rules for success and failure have all been rewritten. To survive and thrive in these uncertain times, it is essential that your whole team has an understanding of the forces that are reshaping your industry’s landscape. Based on detailed research into macro-economic, political and social trends, this programme will help you do just that – by focusing on five key disruptive forces that are going to change the way we live and work in the next decade. The five forces are: Technology, Institutional change, Demographics, the Environment and shifting Societal values. These are the T.I.D.E.S. of change. A guaranteed paradigm shaker, this powerful presentation or workshop overviews each of the trends, providing gripping examples, insightful case studies and powerful implications tailored for your business.

Implementing strategy @ speed: Four essential characteristics of organisations that will be successful in turbulent times
As the world gets more and more complex and turbulent, the success of any organisation increasingly depends on their ability to develop and implement strategies – at speed. To do this, organisations need to keep their defining values in tact and steer towards the destination defined by their organisation’s vision, while at the same time learning how to constantly develop and implement new and adapted ways of reaching their goals. We don’t have roadmaps with a set of directions anymore, but we can develop a GPS ‘satnav’ ability to ‘recalculate’ our routes to success. Implementing strategy @ speed is a model developed from the combined findings of significant research projects and the experience of the TomorrowToday strategy consulting team. It helps leaders focus on four key factors and develop the capabilities their organisations need in order to be successful in a fast-paced and turbulent world.

This multi-media, humour-filled presentation or workshop looks at why people younger and older than yourself see the world in such different ways, and how a generation gap influences attitudes and behaviours. You’ll discover how value systems are developed and how these influence the way we act and react to the world around us. By understanding the impact of different generations, inside and outside your organisation, you can improve customer relationships, and the productivity and interactions of your teams. Understand what shaped and formed Boomers, Gen Xers and Gen Y, and why younger and older people – staff, customers, family and friends – have such different expectations and approaches to life, leadership, work and relationships. By the end of the session, participants will: understand WHY younger and older generations think and act differently; know HOW to connect more appropriately to the underlying values that drive attitudes and behaviour of different generations; be more confident in their approach to younger and older staff and customers; have numerous practical ideas of WHAT to do to improve inter-generational connections, specifically relating to people strategy, sales and marketing; and have the ability and resources to take generational understanding back to the office and empower staff and leaders to understand and apply these insights. The session will can also be used to show participants how to apply generational theory to improve the effectiveness of multinational and multicultural teams, and the leaders who must lead and manage them. Click here for more information… We have a number of specialist presentations and frameworks based on generational theory, including: There is a growing disconnect between the worldviews, expectations and career aspirations of the Baby Boomers (who fill most of the current top management positions in organisations) and Generation Y (born in the 1990s and 2000s, they are the workforce of the future). This new generation requires new approaches in recruitment, management, motivation, teamwork and more. It’s not about pandering to their every whim, it’s about helping them to make their best contribution to your organisation. It’s about meeting the challenges and expectations of the Gen Y workforce. This presentation or workshop examines the Gen Y mindset, including attitudes and approaches to lifestyles and careers. It looks at key demographics from around the world and how those impact you in your region, and why current employment templates clash with Gen Y aspirations. We’ll explain why Gen Y thinks and acts as they do, and how they’re driving key workforce and career trends. You’ll discover what appeals to them and see case studies of organisations that are moving with the times and doing the right things, including practical tips to recruit, retain, and get the most out of the right talent. We live and work in a fast moving world flooded with information – it’s not only faster but also more complex and more interconnected than ever before. The biggest revolution we face in the next decade is a shift in how we deal with information, and most companies are battling to keep up. Yet, today’s young people treat all of this as normal, and use multiple technologies to help them easily navigate this information-rich economy. Your success in the next few years depends on your understanding and ability to bridge the digital divides. This session will show you how information technology will revolutionise your business, and your life. Use it to connect more effectively with your younger, talented staff and customers. And ensure that you and your team are ready to make the most of the new world of work. Click here for more information… The biggest revolution we face in the next decade is a shift in how we deal with information. It has the potential to change how we buy, how we sell, our advertising and marketing, how we communicate, how we manage and lead and how we organise ourselves. The current rise of social media is just the beginning, and companies are only just starting to engage effectively with the significance of this new technology. What people want now is a way to engage with you – not just listen to you. As customers they want websites that allow interaction – they want you to listen to them, not just shout messages at them. They are drawn to organisations that offer transparency and engagement. As staff, they use their computers (and smart phones) not just for work, but as integral ways of managing their lives, and they want to be able to connect with colleagues and bosses in more immediate ways. This programme explains the drivers behind this shift towards social media, proving that it is more than mere hype and outlining key principles to follow in order to use social media more effectively in your organisation. By using a wealth of case studies, the programme provides real life examples of how companies are successfully using social media to enhance their businesses and grow their influence in their markets. This programme aims to go “beyond the hype” of social media and new technology, and provide both practical and strategic insights into how you can leverage the true power of social media to connect, engage, disrupt (if you want to) and transform your business.

You did a fabulous job, presenting important information in a very entertaining way. Go “behind the scenes” of the work and insights of a futurist. This workshop will share the four key steps required to scan the horizon of your industry and company’s marketplace, and show you how to spot the trends, cycles, patterns and systems that will impact you in the near future. Using a number of case studies from TomorrowToday’s work with top international companies, we will illustrate the value of watching the future, especially in a world characterised by change and uncertainty. You’ll leave inspired to spend just a little bit of time every day lifting your eyes from your day to day activities, and watching the horizon of your work and career. And by doing so, you’ll feel more confident to face the turbulence of the times we live in. Is it still appropriate to talk of a “war for talent”? Talent management is still crucial for business success, but the current focus and direction needs to change. The new talent focus needs to shift from individual talent to creating talented companies. Talented companies focus on having the right systems, procedures, values and supportive culture and their focus is on making the star system before they make star players. This session explores how a number of companies are getting this right and what talent themselves can do to maximise the opportunities for themselves and their company.

The ability to see the world through other people’s eyes is critical to success in an increasingly diverse and globalised world. This presentation or workshop explores this issue with both head and heart, helping participants engage with a world that appears strange, weird and wrong. “TomorrowToday’s talks are always inspiring and thought-provoking; their topics are well-researched and the message, although serious, is delivered in a humorous and informal manner. The presentations are always extremely well received by our audiences and the talks have certainly had a favourable impact on the way in which we conduct business.” Our presentations and workshops are customised for each event and client. We would love discuss your specific needs with you, and recommend a starting framework for your next strategy session, conference or away day. Please contact our team to discuss how we can help you.
