Leaders have vital issues to tackle if we are to maintain environmental security and social cohesion. So where do we start? Some quiet conversations help build understanding and simple no regrets steps help:

+ Content and communication for impact; how inclusion drives innovation and growth; + circular economy principles; + inclusive leadership; + social impact; + design thinking; + strategy alignment & organisational change; + .

Check out these themes in New Women, New Men, New Economy, co authored with Rodin Genoff (Federation Press).

Check out the 2016 reprint… we are researching our second edition.

There's a battle going on between old and new, says Jeremy Heiman, CEO of Purpose.org. Demagogues and dictators are on the rise, fear and loathing is about as people become concerned about their jobs and their futures. Times like this there is much at stake and we need to remind ourselves that Martin Luther King Jr was right - to be strong you need to build bridges not walls.

New Women, New Men, New Economy was launched at the Sydney Opera House on September 14 2015, at the Advance Global Leaders Summit. By May 2016 we had to reprint due to demand.

When people talk innovation, they tend to think tech and digital. They overlook the most important element of innovation - its the people and our humanity. 

Through our research and case studies from around the world, we’ve identified the 4 vital important dimensions leaders need to focus on to help people thrive and businesses drive innovation and adapt. Think of it as the CODE for the New Economy:

Creativity ignites competitiveness. It's not just for special people. In the New Economy creativity is now a core competency for business success. There are some simple steps you can take to being more creative - and it’s a team sport. 

When people are trying to build walls and close things down, we need to remember Open is how you get things moving fast as people share knowledge and ideas. 

Diversity boosts performance and problem-solving. More women in leadership is now a “must have” for business success not just a nice to have. And by the way it is not win/lose but win/win.

We help you get your head around how to build inclusive cultures where people thrive and performance improves and show the practical steps companies are taking to make it happen.

Equity, fairness is more vital than ever at a time when trust in business and institutions is at an all time low.  Fairness is what creates thriving teams and communities that build long term value. Think of it as being fair to employees, customers and the community.

As Thordis Elva says "we should not measure our success by those in front but by those out there still toiling...We are never freer than the least free amongst us".
