Many thanks to the Tom Peters Company for a most informative discussion on the Future Shape of the Winner. With the constant movement that creativity and innovation, its great to know that balance, with talent in the center, through various rotating axes (ambition, experience, performance, brand, architecture,execution) is achievable in choas.
The FSW takes the fear and hesitation out of moving forward out of staid systems that are no longer largely applicable. It also prepares us for further movement beyond the current desired state, assuring us that there will once again be need for a future shape of a winner that requires re-alignment. This is the balancing of the gyroscope yet again with talent at its center and the axes as rotors. Sounds chatoic? But there is chaos and confusion already. The FSW model offers peace in the midst of choas; it is the "I" (talent) in the midst of the storm. Engaged informative talent will always produce.
Thanks especially to Val and Mike, my presenters, for a job well done. And many thanks to Madeleine and Richard for the love and dedication in the development of such a beautiful model. Finally, thank you Tom Peters out of which most of what we heard today undoubtedly sprung.

Val and Mike: Congrats on a job well done! And congrats to Rick and Madeleine for once again knocking my socks off. FSW is an articulate yet simple and beautiful way to explain how everything is connected, and it is vastly different from anything I have seen before.
If organizations do not see themselves in this light, it is their funeral!
Great Job!!

I listened for 45 minutes and then suddenly … silence...
I wondered what technical gremlin had muted my sound...
Then I noticed one of our two young puppies had gnawed through the lead of my Skype headphones....
Oh well I got the gist in 45 minutes ... and they do say never work with kids or animals :-)
Great concept to have a Webinar I was impressed with the technology...

Trevor...I thought I heard the sounds of gnashing teeth in the background :)

Thanks for an informative, enjoyable and intersting presentation. I unfortunately missed the last 15 minutes (the piece I was most interested in hearing naturally on assessment I believe?)due to an unexpected conference call. I see the value in the model and it's potential to achieve great results when executed by an informed, engaged,involved, AND CREDIBLE leadership team. Again, thanks folks! Great stuff!!
P.S....let the record show the alledged gnashing teeth were not mine!
