ERA is delighted to announce this year’s inspirational speaker will be Nick Jankel [1], who will speak to us about Born for breakthrough: leading the future in an uncertain world.

Every leader has a brain biology that is born for breakthrough - but old thinking and old habits often get in the way of the continuous transformations needed to thrive in what Nick calls the VUCANS world - Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, Networked and Stressed. But it doesn't have to be this way. Nick will introduce cutting-edge ideas from The Switch On Way that help leaders take the pain out of business transformation, blast through the barriers that block innovation and disappear the dysfunction of teams so that every organisation can forge the future - and not fail it - within a radically uncertain, chaotic and changing world. Key is to understand how to switch from ‘Control Mode’ to ‘Create Mode’ to break through blockages at will and ensure our teams can do the same.
