From Car Factories to Kars
A presentation of highlights and amusing anecdotes of Lawrence’s journey from the car factories of his youth to the Kars village where he now lives near Ottawa.
Chuckle with him as he describes crashing his Fiat into an aircraft, speeding down a Heathrow runway in a van, bumping into Roy Orbison in a deserted Cumbrian rest area, breaking down in bear country and having to refill a Mini radiator with his pee.
Lawrence discusses his favourite and hated cars, the disappointment of his one upmarket purchase and travelling in illegal Mexico City taxis at 2 a.m.
Great Teams of the Past, Present & Future
Lawrence discusses the best high performance team he ever worked with and how it was so unusual at the time. Then he explores today’s ‘best’ characteristics for teams and how they increasingly resemble that historical team. Finally he explains how future “great teams” are likely to look and why this is actually good news that undermines the concept of a talent shortage.
Strategic DNA for Clarity, Alignment & Focus
Lawrence explains the integrated approach for Strategic, Performance, Project and Change Management laid out in his Strategic book. This introduces each of the 12 best practices that combine to create a strategically focused, highly effective learning organization.
