Just as athletes in the world of sport have become faster and more competitive, so has the world of business. Dr. Morag takes a truly global perspective on how to be faster and more competitive in the international marketplace through innovation, training, and a continual focus on improvement. He demonstrates how principles in speed training can be applied to business innovation.

By learning to think about speed as a system, your audience comes away with new ideas about how to improve the speed and quality of innovation within your company or organization. Like relay runners, your team is capable of more than the individual speed of its members. Dr. Morag explains how speed of thought, speed of decision-making, speed of ideation, and speed to the market will enable your team to effectively “pass the baton” at top speed, increasing the overall performance and potential of new products and innovations.

This talk is complemented by a 45 minutes breakout session during which participants are invited to experience a sport science activity followed by a business implementation exercise.

There are many similarities between world-class athletes and top business executives.
