Speaking Topics

Leadership
CEO Anne McKevitt’s dynamic leadership presentation, uses her personal experiences to share with audiences the three essential elements that capture her vision of leadership; Collaboration, Capability and Character. As a high-profile CEO with over two decades of business and corporate experience, she knows that leadership is much more than your title, the size of your organisation, budget or salary. It requires unlocking the potential in each person within the organisation, instilling clear direction and a strong sense of purpose, and a willingness to take risks and stand alone, if necessary. Anne McKevitt shares personal stories of leadership that demonstrate that anyone can lead from anyplace at anytime and that – first and foremost – leadership is a choice.

Innovation
Innovation is an undisputed catalyst for company growth. Yet corporate innovation is notoriously difficult if it is not to languish in the limbo of reports and studies. The finest idea will not get implemented unless there is an organisational framework for shepherding it from concept to reality. Anne McKevitt has continually used the power of creating and deploying new ways of performing fundamental business processes as the springboard to success for leading companies. Virtually every industry has many firms that have failed at their efforts to make innovation work. What is the secret to success? Most companies set too narrow a scope for their innovation efforts and thus can make only incremental improvements. Major results demand change to many parts of an organisation; but since each part of the organisation—and its manager—has its own agenda, goals, and metrics, efforts to make major changes typically run aground on the shoals of inertia and resistance. Anne shares her experiences on corporate innovation and breaking down resistance barriers.

Change
Adapt or die: the universal law of nature for the evolution of our species. This law applies equally to today’s businesses who must be able and willing to adapt and change expediently as circumstances change and new information comes to light. Those who don't or can't, won't survive, they will become extinct. Every individual and organisation that strives to be successful must learn how to absorb change, grasp change, manage change, prosper on change and master change as a way of life and for survival. Successful change for organisations requires a holistic framework. Anne McKevitt shares with audiences her successful blueprint for commanding change. In this informative presentation, Anne outlines her seven stage program for managing change; Strategy, Structure, Process, Rewards, Metrics, Culture and Behaviour, giving audiences a comprehensive blueprint for adapting for success.

Trends
The relationship between corporate strategy and global trends are often left to individual managers to interpret and address as a matter of individual choice. Yet it is more and more apparent however that treating overall corporate strategy as separate and distinct from outside global trends is unwise, never more so than today. Not seeing corporate strategy aligned with global trend awareness leads to missed opportunities and bad competitive choices. Anne McKevitt examines and shares her insights for forward-thinking analysis of global marketing and consumer trends with hands-on examples of new business ideas that will be making an impact in the near future. She focuses on consumer insights and behavioural trends, and the hands-on marketing/business opportunities they present.

Competitiveness
All around the world companies know that their success depends on remaining competitive in the global market. Individual nations and state regions must think about competition as well, particularly in terms of infrastructure, investment and innovation. Nation's must earn their position in the global marketplace – nothing is pre-ordained; they must constantly compete against an ever changing environment of global competition. Anne McKevitt understands the impact that the new global economy has on markets and while the fundamentals of leadership are universal, nations and companies must also be aware that in other cultures the emphasis and structures may be different to what they are familiar with. She shares with audiences her views on global competitiveness and the strategies and philosophies that businesses and nations must employ in order to be competitive in the global marketplace.

Diversity/Women In Leadership
Diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace is where it’s at – and it pays dividends. The best and most successful decisions and outcomes are the result of a divergence of perspectives and thought processes. Like-minded individuals who look alike will think alike and something vital will be missed. Diversity breeds success. As one of the most prominent, high-profile female CEOs Anne McKevitt draws on her own experiences, sharing with audiences the benefits of diversity in the workplace.

Technology
Technology has given mankind a medium through which individuals, organisations and nations can unleash their potential, aiding economic development and making organisations more effective in managing and disseminating information. Those going in search of new technology must understand that it should be used wisely, not invested in foolishly. Anne McKevitt prepares decision-makers to ask the tough questions when investing in a new system or tool: don’t invest in new technology just for the sake of it. What do you want to achieve with this tool? Will the new technology get you there? How will this impact on your people? Will they require re-training and are they amenable to the introduction of new technology? Anne McKevitt helps you better understand what's really at stake.
