The Adaptable
Organisation
#IbecHR
Proudly sponsored by:
Building adaptable, inventive and
inspiring organisations
How do you win in a world of change, ferocious competition and unstoppable innovation?
This is the theme for this year’s Ibec HR Leadership summit and we’re delighted to have
world renowned business thought leader, Professor Gary Hamel, as our keynote speaker
to talk about creating an adaptable organisation.
He will be presenting an essential agenda for leaders who are eager to explore the tools
and strategies needed to build companies that can outrun change and be fit for the future. Also on the agenda are great case studies of award-winning organisations in Ireland,
Openet and DePuy Synthes, that are excelling by being agile and flexible.
We also ask is it possible to be brilliant every day? Neuroscientist, Dr Alan Watkins
certainly believes so, and through his thought provoking and entertaining presentation
we will get a better understanding of improving our performance whether its in sports,
business or relationships.
And, as with every year, this is a really great peer networking experience – so valuable for all
of us in business. Participate in roundtable discussions led by Gary Hamel and find out what
your peers think on key issues as delegates vote on the day.
I look forward to seeing you on the day.

Dr Alan Watkins, Complete Coherence
Brilliance every day:
the biological basis of leadership
We live in a turbulent, confusing and continuously changing world where
we are faced with deeply complex problems we are not trained to
deal with. Despite this, most leaders can still deliver great performance
sometimes but very few can be brilliant every day.
Dr Alan Watkins will turn the focus on you and explore the science behind leadership,
how you can step change ability, take control of biology and regain energy levels equivalent
to the levels you had 10 years ago! Take away:
•
•
•
•
what you need to spend your time on if you want to succeed in a complex world;
what pressure does to your brain and your performance and how to avoid brain shutdown;
how to be confident even under the most challenging conditions;
how to improve other people’s performance in just a few minutes.
Be prepared to be surprised by how good human beings (and you!) can be.
