Speeches Speaking, Conferences and Presentations

2thinknow make available speakers for presentations, keynotes, conferences, organisational workshops on innovation and innovative business ideas canvassed in our innovative business publications.

Speeches, workshops and presentations globally on business ideas, innovative thinking and something new rather than the same old usual suspects of consulting and business models.

The same old models lead to the same old results, so 2ThinknowTM have taken our cutting-edge innovation models, that break down innovation into components, and can deliver them in a number of formats. More information:

Speaking Topics

2ThinknowTM will cover how innovation works and how to make innovation work using proprietary models documented in our publications, such as:

  • Globally Innovative Cities -- discussed in our Global Innovation Review launched in April 2007, discussing worlds most innovative cities, and giving a framework for assessing innovation. Learn where is innovative, why it's innovative and how to make a location/city attractive to innovation.
  • Innovation Pockets -- unique model that explains how innovation arises in large organisations, groups, teams or cities. More on Pockets model >
  • Unleashing Innovation with the 'Hire Innovation Loop' -- on how to achieve innovation within an organization or city through organizational change, that anyone can do. Focus on important for innovation. Learn to enrol others in innovation. Applied to Cities | Organizations >
  • Creating 'Contagious Innovation' -- the preconditions for innovation that is 'self-propelling'. Sometimes the obvious works, and resistance should be skirted not engaged. Learn about aligning your organisation for innovation, and indirect strategies to innovate without power. More >
  • Other customised presentations, speeches, keynotes or workshops on innovation for your organization or city. If it's creativity, innovation or implementing ideas with a practical mind, we can assist.

Speaking Styles

The style of the speech can fit with your organisation, will be tailored to fit the message. From forceful or conservative but strong to light-hearted with a serious message.

All speeches and presentations are dynamic and confidently delivered by an experienced speaker, primarily our Innovator-In-Chief, Mr Christopher Hire (bio here), experienced in giving presentations for 11 years on varied business topics from intimate 5 person groups to 200 people conferences, as well as press interviews in IT media.

Some other topics are presented by other presenters. Most are handpicked by our firm from among our colleagues. If you have extensive quality experience of the very highest standards, enquire as a presenter/author, here.
