Battle of Big Thinking part 1: Creating unique brands; Changing the world; Perth vs Sydney
Yesterday saw the APG’s Battle of Big Thinking. The first session covered big business ideas.
Speaker: Peter Williams – CEO, Deloitte Digital
Topic: The formula for changing the world
Quote: “Any match in the box can start a fire.”
Cant wait to see how you summarise the crazy dude with the short hair and the SA accent – (Sauerman)
What a good idea this event was. Something different at last!
I thought it was a pretty good and inspirational event. Only a couple speakers disappointed in their preparation but overall I would rate this 8.5/10 which based on Richard Sauerman’s speech IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH 🙂
I also noticed Sauerman has a Youtube channel with a few of his videos published in there https://www.youtube.com/user/RichardSauerman
Thanks Tim for your vote and for attempting to summarize my rambling! True dedication to your craft. I would continue to argue that whilst I am in serious danger of becoming a cliche I am not and never will be anybody’s f&$king asset. Cheers.
It was a great afternoon overall! if nothing else, watching 15 speeches in a row taught me a lot about how to (and how not to) engage an audence. Loved The Sauerman’s inspiring speech a, got a tingle from Tim Noonan’s soothing voice and enjoyed hearing from Nake’s Jon. The Perth vs. Sydney debate really did little to convince me, they’d have to cut Australia in thirds, remove the middle section and sew the two halves back together to make Perth more accessible to the rest of Australia for it to be even considered. I intermittently laughed and frowned at the ‘nibbler’ duo at the thought of having an online thing continuously nibbling (hehe) my life into a conglomerated ball that I could consult on-line to find out which friend I should speak to in real life when I need to feel happy. Are human brains and feelings likely to become redundant in the next 10 years?
As far as Peter’s speech, who does he think started the group clapping in unison; he was the influencer…
