The Reinventors - How Extraordinary Companies Pursue Radical Continuous Change

Jason Jennings` new book, coming out in 2012, promises to show business leaders and companies how to reinvent themselves and their companies. The biggest discovery made during Jason`s research is that successful reinvention is never about moving a business from point A to point B in order to survive.

Instead, successful reinvention is about embracing and existing for rapid growth, letting go, rapidly moving from point A to B and then C and D and beyond, making loads of small bets and quickly scaling the successful ones, doing everything with frugality, and making certain everyone is on board.

Reinvention -- The Six Secrets of Change
This keynote is based on Jennings` highly anticipated new book being released early in 2012, The Reinventors -- How Extraordinary Companies Pursue Radical Continual Change, which identifies more than 100 companies that have made constant change an integral part of their DNA. By examining innovative businesses such as Apple, Capital One, Starbucks, Arrow Electronics, Nucor Steel, Smithfield Foods and many more, Jennings identifies six points, tailored to your organization`s needs that will help you crack the code on change. Key findings include the fact that successful reinventors are committed to double digit annual growth, letting go of yesterday`s breadwinners, conventional wisdom and ego, making lots of small bets and getting and keeping everyone on the same page.

Customization
One of Jason`s guiding principles is that every audience deserves a presentation that`s been custom tailored to fit their needs and exceed their expectations. In order to make that happen he undertakes the following preparation for each speech:

Diagnostic/Discovery Telephone Conference -- This hour-long conference call is designed to insure that Jason understands the company or sponsoring organization, its goals and objectives and what it`s trying to achieve by bringing in an outside speaker.

Ten Telephone Interviews -- Several weeks prior to the event the company or conference organizer provides Jason`s office with a list of up to ten people with whom he can have a ten to fifteen minute conversation about themselves, their responsibilities, their challenges and the areas in which they`d like to sharpen their skills.

When this work has been completed you`re insured of receiving a highly targeted and personalized speech.
