Simplicity: Work Smarter, Not Harder

EVERYBODY is overloaded. And that’s not going to go away.

Actually, it’s going to get worse.

We need to learn how to quickly de-clutter any information and get better at staying focused, getting more done in less time — all while engaging the hearts, minds, and actions of others.

Bill Jensen will cover all that, and more, in this session. He will apply what he’s learned after studying simpler ways to work for the past three decades.

You will leave this session being able to cut one hour of work down to just five minutes!

The Future of Work Begins with Us

The future of work is already here — and it benefits those who are elite knowledge workers, and hurts many who are struggling with 21st century norms.

The problem is: We need everyone, not just some. We need to do more to bring everyone into the future of work.

We need disruptive heroes, now! Leaders in HR, tech, and senior management, who will be stronger workforce advocates.

This talk will show you why, and how.

Cultural Transformation in the Digital Age

The future of work is already here. Digital transformation is underway. Yet many companies are still struggling to transform their cultures at the disruptive rate of technological change.

We need more than elite knowledge workers. Cognitive era norms need to be adopted in throughout your culture, by everyone.

This talk will show you why, and how. Bill Jensen covers how to achieve the fastest and best quick wins, and how to build sustainable strategies for cultural transformations in the digital age.

Are You Future Strong?

The biggest challenges you will face in a highly disruptive future of work do not come from ‘out there.’ They all revolve around your ability to disrupt yourself — to change, adapt, unlearn and learn anew… all at a rapid-fire pace.

This session details five separate dimensions of being future strong — always ready for anything — and what you can and must to achieve constantly renewed self-mastery in whatever the future throws at you.

Disrupt! Think Epic, Be Epic.

What are the habits of today’s best disruptive heroes? And what can all of us learn from them?

This session will answer those questions, and lots more.

Bill Jensen has studied 100 of today’s top disruptors and change agents, and uncovered their secrets. Bill will detail the top five of twenty-five disruptive habits, and exactly how you can use those habits today.

Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage

Simplicity really matters. And we need you to take a stand for it.

“Simpler for whom?” is one of themost pressing questions that all workplaces will face in the coming decade. A disruptive revolution is now flooding over from the consumer world into the world of work. All that remains: Will HR, IT, and leadership finally join forces as workforce advocates in designing true simplicity for all who work?

This session answers those questions, and gives you the tips and tools you need to get simple...now!
