Keynotes
Keynote by Ken Tencer:
No Brick Walls
In an era of unrelenting change and intertwined challenges, Ken is back with his latest keynote, No Brick Walls. With it, he will provoke you to change how you think and lead others in the face of incomplete information, uncertainty and ambiguity.
As leaders, we need new answers, fast. But according to business builder and speaker Ken Tencer, finding those answers first requires leaders to think differently. More boldly, more creatively, more holistically, and more collaboratively.
He calls on us to unleash our human ingenuity (hi), the clever, inventive, and original thinking that enables us to reframe the problems we face, communicate better with our teams, and generate powerful solutions faster.
No Brick Walls will engage seasoned and next-gen leaders, innovators, and learners who believe that only three questions stand between us and success, “What If? Why Not? and How?” as you:
- Learn to find the path through the scatter.
- Define the type of problem you face – tame, complex or wicked.
- Differentiate between problem and symptom.
- Embrace the fact that resolutions may be more powerful than solutions.
- Accept that sometimes two out of three won’t cut it.
Ken has delivered keynotes internationally to groups of 100 to thousands. He creates a dynamic opportunity to engage, listen, share, learn, solve, and build better.
