Be a Future-Shaper: Re-Imagine the Boundaries of Your Business

In today’s border-less business environment, you are either actively shaping the future of your market space, or you are left in the wake of others who are. Gabor George Burt reveals how you can be among the future-shapers. His Slingshot Framework enables you to redraw market boundaries in a way that assures the ongoing relevance and growth of your organization.

Through his engaging, interactive talks and workshops, Burt distills the complexity of strategy formation into the simple, intuitive steps of the Slingshot Framework, teaching you to:

Stretch the definition of your business in order to discover new markets of high relevance and impact
Transform the weakest points of your customers’ experience into the strongest
Aim beyond satisfying your customers, by keeping them continuously infatuated
Embrace the “Shortcut to Meaningful Innovation”, by unlocking powerful combinations of already existing components that lead to boundary-breaking, new customer value

Slingshot

What if you could re-engage your childhood creativity to overstep perceived limitations for continuous business and personal success? In the context of a highly interactive and provocative session, Gabor shares with his audiences the reason why recovering our capacity for unconventional thinking matters, how to do so, and how to apply it to become always relevant.

Rocket Fuel: Unleashing the Collective Imagination of Your Organization

We are in the midst of an acute creativity crisis. A survey of 100,000 people by interesting.org found that 98% believe creativity is important for their work, yet only 45% consider themselves creative and a mere 2% think that their place of work fosters creativity. The challenge is formidable.

The good news, says Gabor George Burt, is that creativity is the immensely powerful, abundant and completely free resource we all possess. The bad news is that creativity is vastly underutilized by both individuals and organizations. Through his engaging, interactive talks and workshops, you will learn to capture and channel collective creative thinking as a key driver of your organization’s growth and success. You will gain the tools to:

Link systematic creativity with smart strategy
Achieve strong customer loyalty, expanded relevance and sustained growth
Align your organization around the pursuit of meaningful innovation
Maximize the engagement and intellectual contribution of your workforce
