Complexity Sucks! (your profits)
with Ian Dover
Oct 5th 12.30pm-1.30pm
Unnecessary complexity kills profitability and makes a business more fragile.
The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 showed that companies who fell down were too complex.
It’s vital to know how to capitalize on good complexity and remove unnecessary complexity.
Simplifying business delivers more profits, sustainability and staff morale, whether the economy is in good shape or not.
Dr Ian Dover will explain the drivers of complexity and the five Principles of Business KISSing (ie Keeping it Simple).

Zen & Business
with Edgeware Founder Michael Doneman
Sep 21st 12.30pm-1.30pm
Consumers are becoming more conscious and conscientious, and businesses are following. Consumers in the industrial world increasingly value “meaning” in their products and services.
When progressive business leaders end up sounding like hippies, shifts are happening.
Dee Hock, pioneer of credit cards, the founder of Visa International, and now the ‘Chaordic Commons’, says that the purpose of business is to ‘be in synch with the biosphere’.
Why is this?
Find out with Michael Doneman who will discuss the social, cultural and commercial value of “meaning” in 21st century commerce, with reference to spirituality and the principles of Zen.
