Change! What we can learn from an octopus – Tom Sligting

Introductie
Are you doing everything the same all the time? This will go wrong faster than you can pronounce “adaptability”. Business is all about developing your adaptability. Online Energizer Tom Sligting gives you practical tips on the art of change. In his energizer on adaptability, he introduces the the octopus as a wonderful metaphor for entering a process of change. The octopus existed long before the dinosaurs. So it sure has its agile affairs in order!

Thanks to Tom’s lecture you will gain insight into the adaptability of your organization. As an outsider, Tom can address sensitivities with a good sense of humor and show in an inventive way what can be done differently. A sneak preview? A period of significant change requires real-life solutions. Everything is monitored nowadays. This fixation on KPIs tends to hold back success. Rely on self-reliance!

In Tom’s keynote you’ll be presented with unconventional learning moments and eye-openers that will really help you change, instead of just confirming what was already going well anyway. Success is also a warning, because before you know it you are caught in a tricky net of laziness. At that point t’s too late to start moving. So go diving with Tom – into the flexible brain of the octopus.
