The Main Stage will feature TED-style talks and interactive sessions to bring to life the power of connection, collaboration and knowledge sharing. Talks will include: Designing for Prosperity with Dan Makoski. Design is all about moments of joy. Finance and prosperity can bring people together so we need to change the conversation and our languge to become more human centered. Dan will share how the team is exploring this at LBG. Storytelling for Change with Abhay Adhik. Abhay will explore how you can use the principles of storytelling to encourage incremental behaviour change. The conection between Empathy and Creativity with Moyra Mackie. Moyra focuses on helping people do things differently, think differently and to have much richer conversations. She will run an interactive session on empathy and how this is essential to innovate. Worshiping at the Church of Fail with Ross Breadmore. An interactive session on the absolute necessity of failing at work, why it is a key part of the transformation process and the systems conditions that make failure so tough, but also so essential. Round-table debates are an opportunity to connect on a more personal level to share experiences and different perspectives: Purposeful innovation - exploring how purpose is reshaping how we view the roleof business in society Smart Cities - how do I know if my city is smart, how can we make them smarter and what is our role in this?
