Seminar / Workshop/ Guest Speaker Notes

1. Pre-Delivery Consultation/Customization:

TLIR will work with the client (on site or virtual) to customize the theme to ensure both content and context are aligned to the needs of the client. Such customization results in a presentation or seminar that is tuned to the client circumstance.  The information used to develop the custom material is treated as strictly confidential and will not be used for any other purposes. John would be pleased to talk to you about how he customizes the material and the strong context value this enables.

2. Post-delivery Q&A:

Themes and subjects generate significant debate during session and much reflective thought once the session has ended. ‘What If’ questions, requests for clarification and comments that arise are welcomed via e-mail after session. Responses will be handled personally by John on a ‘best efforts / no charge’ basis.

3. Venue / Travel Costs:

Client is responsible for all venue related booking arrangements and costs including TLIR Travel and Lodging Expense (if applicable).

4. Taxes:

In general, both Keynote Address/ Podium Presentation pricing and Seminar pricing exclude 5% Federal Tax. Exceptions apply, ask for details.  

5. Multiple Themes and/or Multiple Sessions

A. After the first presentation or seminar, any and all requests for additional presentations and/or seminars qualify for base price discount of 10%.

B. When multiple themes in presentation and/or seminar format are ordered at the same time, incremental discounts of 5% are applied.

C.  When multiple sessions of a single theme are ordered; usually for geographic, functional or logistical reasons, these qualify for special pricing incentives.

6. Curriculum Delivery:

Curriculum delivery takes the incentives noted in #5 to the next level and beyond. A curriculum delivery model is one where John works with the client to custom develop a suite of theme based presentations and/or seminars for that client. Once established, this suite forms the curriculum for corporate transformation / business improvement education across the client enterprise. As and when required, the client simply arranges with John for him to present one or more curriculum components at one or more locations. To find out more about the curriculum delivery model and to determine the value and applicability of the model for your enterprise, please contact John.

7. Integration Engagements:

Custom engagements designed to integrate and inculcate theme into operating fabric of client organization quoted on a per circumstance basis, ask for details.

“The mechanics of business improvement are intuitively simple; however, business dynamics, optics and politics are hardly ever intuitive and rarely, if ever, simple. Is it any wonder efforts to improve the business often fail to meet expectations?”

Distinguished Scholar - GLG Council of Business Advisors

"At any moment in time, every organization will be in the throes of change to a greater or lesser degree. Projects; tens, hundreds perhaps more vie for resources, time and attention; concurrently striving to address defensive, offensive, expansion, contraction and improvement pressures...

Understanding the potential for problems when multiple projects are underway across your organization and how to proactively deal with them starts with gaining an appreciation of what is now, what was then, what will be and what is happening in between...!"

“I sat at the back of the room, listening and watching as John explained his findings about what is typically overlooked, ignored or taken for granted whenever change is on the agenda. The looks on the faces of my people, coupled with their furious note taking told me all I needed to know.”
Serge Gallany, SVP, ABN Amro

“Never in the history of corporate transformation have so many projects delivered so little, so late, so poorly for so much cost and aggravation... Now for the bad news...”

“I attended a multi-stream management conference where most subjects and topics were repetitive and boring. Then I listened to “Who Hired Pandora? My first action back at the office was to book John to present the same material to my management team.”

Dietrich Wolder, EVP, HSC

"One trusts that someone, somewhere, has full and complete visibility of everything that is being considered, being planned and being undertaken to improve the business, across the entire business...

Let me ask YOU! Who would that be…?”
Presentation Introduction – The Case for the Chief Change Officer
John Bolden, EIPM, Winchester, UK

“Listening to John draw parallels between Oracle’s pursuit and conquest of PeopleSoft to Caesar’s triumph over Vercingetorix was fascinating, made all the more entertaining when John recounted his military service in West Berlin during the latter stages of the Cold War, guarding Rudolf Hess in Spandau Prison!”

Kevin Turner, EVP, BT Holdings

“As John explained his views about why conflicts arise whenever change is on the agenda, I realized why so many of our global projects run into problems. “Quislings Multiply Like Lemmings’ is one of the most thought provoking seminars I have ever attended.”

Terry Mathews SBU, GE

“Most business improvement projects are managed according to yesterday’s thinking. Linear, insular project management techniques and mindsets all but guarantee business improvement projects will fail to meet expectations. Let me explain…”
