An event for the whole organization, Spark brings together leaders from across the business to explore how they can work together to create lasting and total change. Talks and workshops offer inspiring examples and practical advice on taking action and overcoming obstacles.
Eliciting the best from employees is more important than ever in today’s world, and Spark is devoted to making your company a dynamic, happy place to work – from delivering fast innovation to growing high-performing teams through inspiring leadership. Learn from the leading-edge experiments of radical companies, including flattening the hierarchy, employee ownership, democratic decision-making and holacracy. Develop skills and plans in the workshops in order to return, ready to make change happen.
At this conference you’ll takeaway concrete tools from our 3 themes:
Unleash People
Organizing the Organization
Disruption & Change
CFP Description
This year our theme is ‘Nudging Change Forward’ While we’re keeping our main ‘themes’ (Unleashing People, Organizing the Organization, Disruption & Change) we want to focus experiences around small interventions over time that help organizations become adaptable. In the past, speakers have used Lego, drums, singing, dancing…and egads, sometimes swearing to make their point about how to influence positive change.
We have a few categories for experiences based on the energy flow of Spark. We’re looking for openers and closers, as well as those who have good stories to tell, fun and energizing experiences to give, and a few lower-key sessions to give people’s brains a chance to recover. We also have an emerging speakers category for those first time speakers who want free speaking coaching and a chance to tell their story.
We attract a wide audience, but limit attendance to 110 people to keep it small and intimate. Attendees include change managers, organisational development people, agile coaches, managers and employees.
