Do you lead an organisation of highly educated, talented people who think and create for a living? Then along with the majority of other senior executives in Europe and the US, you are facing one of the most challenging organisational issues today.

Smart people have their own opinions, want freedom to explore and thrive on challenges. We cannot simply tell them what to do. Effective leaders don't manage knowledge workers. Instead they guide, encourage, motivate and collaborate with them. If done right and with authenticity, this can drive your organisation to the next level of growth.

This summit is not for everyone. It’s for leaders like you who realise the key to unlocking the power of a business goes beyond another standard tool or solution. You want collaboration, innovation and action. You want your people to have personal ownership to what you’re trying to achieve. You want your organisation to live strategy.

Hosted in Danesfield House, a beautiful 18th century country estate, the Unleash Summer Summit is a great opportunity to learn from your peers, hear the latest management thinking, and discuss the issues you face in your organisation. Meet senior executives from a range of knowledge intensive industries who face similar issues to you. Through a mix of talks, workshop exercises and roundtable discussions, we will explore the issues around leading and mobilising your smartest and most talented people and how to influence key senior stakeholders in your organisation. This won’t be like most sleep-inducing seminars – get ready for inspiring and thought-provoking exchanges as we tackle one of the most difficult management issues around: Leading Knowledge Organisations.
