    Gary Hamel Keynote Topics

    Every individual has a creative spark, yet organizations often fail to fully harness this potential. Despite 79% of leaders prioritizing innovation, 94% believe their companies fall short in this area. The disconnect arises because many organizations lack a systematic approach to embedding innovation into their culture and making it a natural part of each employee's role.

    The rapid pace of change and relentless innovation challenges organizations to keep up. Many companies struggle to evolve quickly enough, often only making deep changes in response to crises, which is usually too late and inadequate. The key question for any organization is whether they can adapt as swiftly as the external world. In today’s dynamic environment, resourcefulness outweighs mere resources, and those who lag behind often remain behind. Therefore, the goal is to build an organization with an "evolutionary advantage" that can adapt as fast as change itself.

    To succeed against nimble startups, large companies must eliminate bureaucracy. Young companies are bold, flexible, and quick, whereas big companies often struggle with too many layers and rules. This excess of bureaucracy costs OECD economies $9 trillion annually in lost economic output. However, some forward-thinking companies are showing that it's possible to achieve efficiency without bureaucracy. For instance, Svenska Handelsbanken operates with just three management layers, Nucor has no central R&D, and Haier has transformed into a platform of 4,000 autonomous micro-enterprises. These companies demonstrate that it's possible to be large, fast, efficient, and agile simultaneously.
