absolutely buzzing from last night’s event and how brilliant you were – it was such a tough job, especially with the rather eclectic array of questions that came through! You gave a real master class in how to turn slightly random burbling into questions that enabled the panel to give really good answers. It couldn’t have been any better and everyone is genuinely talking about how lucky we were to have you as the host. It was just so slick and professional and brilliant!

HOW TO MAKE SMART DECISIONS IN COMPLEX TIMES
Inflation at a forty year high. Interest rates rising. Dark clouds over the economy. Meanwhile the march of technology ever faster and geopolitical and political tensions continuing to rise.
Now more than ever making the right strategic decisions is crucial. But how to make smart decisions in a time as uncertain and complex as this? A time of political upheaval and economic downturn, technological shits, and significant societal change.
Combining economic analysis with insights from psychology, neuroscience, sociology and history, as well as research from her latest books The Lonely Century and Eyes Wide Open, Professor Noreena Hertz, in this fascinating speech, helps C-Suite executives think strategically about how to navigate the next eighteen months with agility, innovation and success.
GENERATION K
HOW TO MANAGE, RETAIN AND INSPIRE YOUR YOUNGEST CADRE OF EMPLOYEES AND CONSUMERS
You may know all about millennials by now. But what about what comes next?
Based on her 5 years of cutting-edge proprietary research on 15-25 year olds, Professor Noreena Hertz shares deep insights into who this generation are, what they care about, how they behave, what they want, how they work, and how they consume. Shaped not only by technology, but also the worst recession in decades – as well as a world of heightened existential threat – this generation is manifestly different to those that came before including the older millennials.
Whether you are an employer, marketer, or politician – if you want to future proof your organisation and offerings, it’s essential you get to grips with Generation K.
THE LONELY CENTURY
HOW TO RECONNECT
40 percent of office workers globally feel lonely. One in five do not have a single friend at work.
This is not just a problem for individuals, it's also exacting a significant business cost. The lonely are less productive, efficient and motivated than their non-lonely colleagues and significantly more likely to quit.
At a time of hiring challenges, when productivity needs to be on the rise, understanding how to make your workplace feel connected and your employees feel more bonded to each other, is crucial.
Meanwhile your customers are lonely too - especially now post pandemic. With one in five millennials without a single friend, and one in four people feeling lonely, if you can authentically speak to this fundamental human need for togetherness and belonging you will reap a significant dividend.
