INNOVATIONTHE ORGANISATION OF THE FUTURE is a finely tuned collaborative engine whose productive capacity for innovation and value creation defines sustained performance.

DANNY DAVIS IS THE “CORPORATE ENGINEER” who has vision and insight to redesign and upgrade the effective “operating machinery” that drives your organisational innovation performance.

TODAY, YOUR EXPERTS champion the advanced disciplines this engine requires. But there is no blueprint that would allow them to align components, coordinate efforts, target engine performance or provide mechanisms for intelligent integrated control. DANNY DAVIS

DELIVERY MODES

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one that is most responsive to change.”

CHARLES DARWIN

“There is nothing more powerful than participants leaving with an altered world view… and a fresh perspective on how and where to apply their passion.”

participants’ understanding of the world around them, where their world is heading, and the active role they can play in creating better futures.

Danny motivates his audience to refl ect on their own experiences, frustrations and self-imposed limitations - to fi nd constructive contribution of their existing professional disciplines, and new paths to effective innovation.

Danny’s presentations are thoroughly informed with audience relevant examples drawn from his vast real-world experience.

SPEAKERBusiness Futurist

“Brand value in the future context”

An intense workshop format that guides your best thinkers in a leap

beyond current realities to discover where value lies in the context of future markets.

“Is the value you are investing in today going to represent value in the future?”

“Where is your unique positioning strength / differentiation / brand value in the future disrupted digital world – and what will lock in your success?”

Business owners, executives and strategists come out of these sessions with an altered understanding of the existing and future value of their business – and the shape of the journey they are on.

Future Fiduciary challenges you to consider “If you did everything you were currently working on – who would you be?. Is that who you want to be?”

This workshop helps you discover “Who you want to be” and “Why?”. What does future value look like for you?

WORKSHOPStrategic Breakthrough

“Your business – in ‘future-effective’ mode”

Mature global organisations direct significant programs of

innovation investment – yet their staff, management, executive and board remain deeply frustrated.

ADVISORY Corporate InnovationINNOVATION AWARE GOVERNANCE

Staff and media blame out-of-touch, incompetent leadership. But this is far from the truth.

Deeply competent, highly experienced passionate leaders are making the best possible decisions on the information provided – but are blind to the Future Fiduciary insight “Are we appropriately invested in our own future?”

Danny Davis is engaged by global organisations to determine “what we have not thought of, and what we are not doing” in innovation, value creation and assurance of sustained peak performance.

“What is measured is done”. Danny demonstrates the ‘Governance of Value Creation’ perspectives and practices that engender highly effective corporate innovation cultures and behaviours.

“The key to motivation, delegated autonomy, accountability and leadership”

Danny Davis mentors global corporate leaders to overcome the immense

challenges of leadership in a world of fast moving change and uncertainty.

The traditional characteristics of leadership fail to deliver mastery in the context of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA). Leaders cannot know all the answers, everything that is possible and everything that is happening.

Danny active executive mentoring style empowers leaders with insight, advice, perspective and tools to re-engage within the complexity of VUCA and exert their personal leadership styles and strengths with new vigour.

More than simply decision support, innovation leadership and the governance of value creation goes to influence the behaviours and value contribution of all staff – and the nurturing of an effective culture of innovation and sustained performance growth.LEADERSHIP

Governance of Value Creation

“We are all technology businesses – like it or not”

Danny Davis guides mature organisations to develop systemic Digital Mastery – increasing

their capacity to extract business transformation and strategic potential from the digital promise.

Digital Mastery is a critical core competency if you expect to still be in business in the future.

Yet, most large organisations readily admit that their application is far from optimal.

Danny’s experience and insight demonstrate the role that people across all levels and in all facets of an organisation need to play in effective Digital Mastery – and how this systemic strategic capability can be achieved.

Digital Mastery is as central to the future as was manufacturing capacity post the Industrial Revolution.

Danny helps plan and build systemic organisational capacity to compete and win in the digital era.

DIGITALFrom Value to Disruption

“Making change happen in complex living-system organisations”

Danny Davis brings unique practical experience and guidance on

achieving fundamental cultural change in complex global organisations.

Systemic cultural and behavioural change, collaboration, and better innovation practice – are subtle beasts that cannot simply be directed or achieved through brute force.

Danny advises senior executive leaders on how to constitute highly innovative programs of fundamental strategic transformation that build on existing strengths, organisational momentum, the aspirations of our professional teams, and the untapped potential of governance led transformation.

Danny advises on how to structure initiatives to maximise the effects of influence, the compelling nature of communication, engagement with governance, the chances of success and the strategic value of outcomes.

METHODNOTMADNESSMaking Change Happen

“Elite innovation coaching for elite team performance”

We’ve spent the last two decades in an exhaustive pursuit of quality. Doing things right. Turns out that it is far more important to be doing the right

things. Perfect execution of the wrong strategy is a certain pathway to disaster.

But, in a world of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA), doing the right things requires insight and strategic stewardship across a complex portfolio – balanced across timeframes, product categories, risks, uncertainties and multi-bottom-line outcomes.

This unit uncovers the challenges, approaches and tools to manage value creation, creativity, learning and experimentation to compete and win in the future economy.

The US Military uses the term VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) to describe the modern battlefi eld. Some use the term to describe the global digitally disrupted markets we compete in.

Unfortunately, human beings have a notoriously poor natural capacity to judge risk, uncertainty and probability. 95% of people claim to be better than average drivers.

This seminar develops a new appreciation for traditional risk management, uncertainty, probability of outcomes occurring, risk mitigation, alternate strategies and graduated benefi ts realisation - and shows how they can engender a culture of learning, experimentation and effective value creation.

There is a global glut of cash looking for secure investments within dynamic and uncertain futures. Integrated Reporting <IR> and related disciplines

are developing ‘the next generation’ of multi-bottom-line, multi-time-horizon corporate reporting and measures – alongside Active Ownership, Fiduciary Capitalism and other conceptual approaches.

But what does performance and measurement look like? What are the investment signals to look for? Can you identify the top performers and the laggards in your own portfolio? Can you better understand the multi-bottom-line, multi-time-horizon ‘posture’ of individual companies and your complete holding to find and govern the balance that matches your objectives?

This presentation explores cross-discipline efforts to engage with sustainable performance and uncertainty, predicts where they will converge, and highlights the gaps and exposures in current practice.

Global organisations with huge resource, great staff, great brands and reach, and huge numbers of ideas… are deeply frustrated with their

levels of innovation performance. Why?

The decision making processes in our organisations were designed to identify, select and nurture the types of projects that were beneficial thirty (some say 400) years ago. We need to tune (not discard) the governance engines that power business decision making and performance to work more effectively in the current conditions.

What does a future-effective business operation look like? How can we get there? Who needs to take the lead? And, realistically what actions can they take?

CHINESE PROVERB

The 65% bulk of GDP transacted in inefficient, uncompetitive large corporate and government organisations is ignored by Government innovation

policy focussing on startups and research. Meanwhile, fluctuations in interest rates through the GFC demonstrate that government’s monetary and taxation incentive levers are simply ineffective to the scale of the problem.

Timely adaptation of the economy, creating system-wide innovation capacity, sufficient for the global disruptive revolution (akin to the industrial revolution, introduction of electricity and the ubiquitous spread of computers) will baseline our quality of life for generations to come.
