I speak on a broad range of topics dealing with business revitalization and performance improvement. If you're looking for provocative business insights and a passionate interactive style for your next business gathering, conference or management meeting, we should talk. We can work directly or through one of the speakers bureaus I work with.

Topics

Topics are typically customized to the particular audience and can be delivered in workshop, lecture or classroom style. These are a few of the themes that I have presented recently:
 

	Avoiding the Wall: Managing Through Tough Times
	Discussion on the keys to revitalizing the organization and the critical success factors that business leaders must focus on. How to effectively balance between long term growth and short term performance.

	Are You Ruthless?
	Presents a framework for which to analyze an organization's ability to breakthrough the performance wall and assess the inherent risks and red flags that exist and how to get beyond them.

	New Fundamental: Focus and Accountability = Results
	How do I organize to ensure performance improvement? What role does governance play in shaping success and delivery of results? What specific actions can we take today?

	Managing IT For Results
	Many IT investments are barely covering their cost of capital. Given that IT can often make up more than 50% of a company's capital investments, ensuring alignment and results is a business imperative for any business leader.

	IT Does Matter: What the Board Needs to Know About IT
	How can I ensure that my IT investments are driving results that matter? What do I need to do to get away from the hyperbole, and truly drive innovation?

	Compliance and Commitment: The Leader's Imperative
	Most transformation and change efforts, be they organization wide or focused on a particular area, peter out after 18 months. How can I avoid having complacency set in and ensure ongoing renewal?
