“Increasingly blurred line between physical, digital and

The fourth revolution is about innovations based on
combinations of technologies.”
The distinction to note here is the velocity, scope and
systems impact. Everyone is affected!

5. How many did you get right?
‘It doesn’t matter because this isn’t an IQ test.
The value lies in stretching your brain beyond
its normal ways of thinking. And that can
come in handy when trying to innovate and
add value to customers in new ways.’
- Forbes
Think differently

8. FLOW
In the zone:
“mental state of operation in which a person
performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling
of energized focus, full involvement, and
enjoyment in the process of the activity. In
essence, flow is characterized by complete
absorption in what one does.”
Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
Do you
experience
flow at work?

9. The Conscious Capitalist Credo
‘We believe that business is good
because it creates value, it is
ethical because it is based on
voluntary exchange, it is noble
because it can elevate our
existence and it is heroic because
it lifts people out of poverty and
creates prosperity.’
www.ConsciousCapitalism.org

10. Conscious Leadership:
Leaders understand and
embrace the higher purpose
of business. They create
value for and harmonise
interests of stakeholders.
Higher Purpose:
every business has a
purpose that is more than
making money.
Conscious Culture:
values, principles,
practices or ethos
underlying the social fabric
of a business, connecting
stakeholders to each other
and to purpose, people
and processes.
Stakeholder Orientation:
Recognise the human
foundations of business.
Creating value with and
for stakeholders
(customers, employees,
vendors, investors,
communities). Healthy
stakeholders = healthy
business systems.

11. Its time to Think Differently
Change the Game

12. e.g.1 research ‘DNA of a Game Changer’ & ‘DNA of Game
Changing Team”

13. 2015 Research: DNA of a Game Changer
• Great at articulating a vision
• ‘Big picture’, strategic capabilities
• Creative and imaginative idea
generation
Imagination
• Obsession for turning ideas into reality
• Ambitious, obsessive drive to succeed
• Compulsion to share the idea
• Intensity and vigour
• Appetite for risk taking

14. Who are your Game Changers?
What impact are they having?
Are their strengths recognised,
supported, rewarded?
Traditional talent models do not recognise or
support Game Changer talent.

15. 15WWW.THEGCINDEX.COM
Why do Game Changers leave organisations?
Game Changer enablers:
• Space to be creative
• Latitude to demonstrate their value to the business
• Need champions in the organisation
• Develop influencing skills to take people with them (crazy but
ground-breaking ideas take us to Blue Ocean, their high
appetite for change & risk makes people unsettled)
“In their eyes I was simply disruptive. The more they tried to fit me
into their box the more de-motivated and unproductive I became.”
Andrew, Game Changer
“I don’t think the same way as other people I work with. They don’t
get me. They see me as disruptive and non-conformist. But I am not
trying to make their lives difficult, I’m trying to make things better.”
Louise, Game Changer

16. 16WWW.THEGCINDEX.COM
Game Changers do
not produce Game
Changing outputs on
their own
We need game changing teams in our
organisation who are able to deliver on
game changing outputs, not just
innovation hubs and heroes.
