Testimonials
I found the forum very useful (and if honest more useful than I expected). The seminar sessions were all informative and thought provoking and the meeting schedule has proved very valuable - I already have 3 follow-up meetings.

Conference

The process of creating the conference programme is based upon a dialogue with the people who know best.

Delegates tell us what subjects they would like covered and, assuming there is sufficient demand, we cover them.

Delegates review our proposals and, where necessary, help us to improve them.

Delegates help us to select the right speakers for each subject. We use only acknowledged experts as speakers and moderators.

Contact us if you would like to contribute to the programme, either with ideas for content or as a speaker.

Conference Programme


Opening Keynote Address 2010
Challenging Champions
Sir Clive Woodward
Sir Clive is renowned throughout the world of sport for his almost obsessive quest for perfect preparation and attention to detail. When building a high performance team, he applies the same mantra to each and every person, no matter their role.

The quest for building the perfect team starts with the individual, assessing his or her needs so as to identify how they can become the best they can possibly be. The next step then challenges people to seize the opportunity to become great, creating an element of competition spurring on team members to excel and surpass expectations.

In this keynote presentation Sir Clive will share “key measurables”; vital characteristics that an individual needs to attain in order to succeed at the highest level, whether it be in sport or in business.

All of Sir Clive’s methodology is underpinned by the knowledge that talent alone is not enough, it is how you develop the necessary skills to succeed at the highest level that sets even the most talented apart.



Keynote Address
Economic Overview
Dennis Turner, Chief Economist of HSBC
Dennis Turner is the Chief Economist of HSBC. His role involves advising lending bankers on economic trends not only at national level, but also on industries and regions.

Before going into the City in 1978, he worked for four years in Whitehall, for the National Economic Development Office. This was during the Labour government’s Industrial Strategy Initiative, which was an attempt to improve the performance of the UK’s manufacturing sector.

His first job on leaving university (Swansea and University College, London) was as an economist for a national trade union. Here he was responsible for the preparation of pay claims, arbitration cases and the union’s submission to various statutory bodies set up under Edward Heath’s Industrial Relations Act.
