Funky up your next conference
or be defunked
The world is out of whack and the funkier your thinking, the more innovative your approach, and the wider your thinking repertoire, the better your results will be. In a globalised and uber-competitive world, organisations need to funky up their thinking or risk being defunct.
Ask yourself:
- How is your company keeping up in the war for talent?
- Is your thinking repertoire being out-thought by your competition?
- What is staff turnover costing your business every year?
- Is your company firing on all generational cylinders?
- Does your organisational culture encourage diversity?
Was last year’s speaker up-to-date, on the cutting-edge and in-tune with the global business climate you are operating in? Did they resonate with your cross-generational and multi-cultural staff? Was it the same old-same old motivational speaker from their 1980’s heydey?

Think Funky Keynote Executive Summary
Think Funky or be defunked
Think funky or be defunked. The world has changed and it’s a little out of whack. Things ain’t the way they used to be and that is exactly how they are meant to be. Kids are excelling in 2nd life, but flunking in first life, Maslow’s needs hierarchy has been flipped on its head and Australian rugby league players are now metrosexuals. What’s going on in the world?
Since 2000, the Chinese have become capitalist, Muammar Gaddafi is now a respected member of the international community and the Tour de France now starts in England. Because of Moore’s law computer power doubles every 18-24 months, smashing old thinking domains to smitherines.
And if you had not already had a whack on the side of the head, there’s Gen Y demanding to be self-actualised in the workplace. How is your brain keeping up?
To future-proof your business brains, maximize your return on thinking, and get brain-ready for tomorrow, you need to funky up your thinking. Anders teaches his Funky Thinking methodology, lays down the case for metrosexual problem-solving, and challenges you to upgrade your organizational/individual thinking software from Blinkered Thinking 1.0 to Funky Thinking 3.0, so that you can find the business sweet spot in a world that is out of whack.
