dispatches from the new world of work

Change!

RLG International is an organizational change & implementation consultancy, based in Vancouver and working with the likes of Shell, BP, and Boeing, that steers away from Grand Strategy and instead works assiduously on transformative culture change at the front line ... which they (and I) think is the obvious and oft overlooked key to effective and replicable project implementation practice.

They asked (not so politely) that I spend my allotted time to do the Tom Peters "change speech." Trouble was, as I came to realize—there wasn't one. Ignoring three speeches in the prior four days, I went to bed at 8 p.m. and got up at 1 a.m.—and spent the next 6+ hours cobbling together "Tom's Transformative Change Speech."

This is great! The PSF35 gives a lot to chew on...and I don't mean too little!

Pretty impressive - 503 slides in 6 hours - sleep is over rated Tom :-)

Tom, great speech. You had us riveted for 3.5 hours. I loved the way you challenged us to get better. I have heard nothing but positive feedback about your presentation. You connected well with our execution/implementation oriented audience.

PS. I didn't ask rudely did I?
