Keynote Adresses

The firm is in high demand for the delivery of keynote addresses to both in-house and open conferences and exhibitions. The addresses are typically no more than 45 minutes long and provide audiences with a very concise overview or masterclass on the industry and developments that can disrupt their space. This is then followed by a brief dive into the possible responses that firms can make and how incumbents may wish to address the challenges to avoid the catastrophic collapses seen at firms like Kodak, Blackberry, Nokia, Blockbuster, and Motorola.

Case studies are often included in these presentations as examples of both good and bad strategies and outcomes. All addresses are customized to suit both the firm and the industry.
