Building Resilience At Work 

Higher workloads, declining resources, frequent change, the hectic pace of personal lives - resilience is almost a key to survival! Resilient people are more optimistic, adaptable and independent, are better at solving problems and have sound levels of self-control. Resilient teams have similar characteristics, and can rebound from setbacks and adapt. And all of these characteristics can be developed.

Get In The Go Zone 

The Go Zone is an easy to implement, yet powerful habit and mindset that will enable you to do the important things at the right times, and the less important things when you have time. The bonus is that you will also create more time to do the things that you want to do for you, or time just to do nothing at all.

Think Again

A structured roadmap for process innovation. Innovate your processes and harvest untouched wealth. ‘Innovate or perish' is the new business mantra. Failure to embrace innovation, we are warned, will have many businesses shutting up shop and wondering what happened to their markets.

Although many business people acknowledge that re-energising their organisations requires innovation, unfortunately innovation is still being viewed primarily as a way of generating new products or services. Process innovation is usually viewed as applying to the manufacturing sector, and many would question its relevance in today's Western economies, which are so steeped in services.

Think New

The easy, structured way to product innovation and greater business opportunity. Innovation is on the agenda in all developed countries. In attempting to become innovative we are usually asked to "think outside the square", and although we do need to search for solutions that may be unique, this does not prevent us from having some structure to our thinking. My thinking method is structured and simple. It is based on a matrix of words called the La Salle Innovation Matrix ©. The intersections in this matrix provide a framework of squares. Working within this framework will shape and stimulate your thinking to provide solutions that are "outside the square".
