Greater than the Sum: The future of adding value – and being valued in return.

Posted by Flux on

We’re all living in Trump 2.0 world, where billionaires get to determine international affairs, and young
workers who feel like they can’t get ahead are simply lying down flat.


Everywhere we look, from nationalist, protectionist geopolitics to “consumer activists” who think credit
card fraud and luxury shoplifting is OK, people are playing zero-sum games : where the perception is,
that if you win, I lose, and for me to win, I have to get one over someone else.


In this keynote presentation, we look at why so many of us feel like we are losing – and explore how we
can shift that mindset to how we can win together – by focusing on adding value rather than extracting
it.

  • Customer value : How we can move from “Parmesan bandits”, “dupe culture” and “consumer rage” towards customer empathy by shared worldbuilding
  • Colleague value : How we can build bridges between intergenerational tensions, rewire DEI for
    the next generation and move from “minimum effort Mondays” and “bullsh*t” jobs towards a
    human value chain where we think in terms of transformative rather than transactional
    workplace relationships (and understanding where technology helps – and hinders us in that
    regard)
  • Citizen value : How we can shift our mindsets from being helpless “consumers” of our state (and
    the general state of the world, inflation, tariffs, wars and all) towards being active citizens and
    stakeholders in our shared future

If you want to be more valued and become invaluable to your company and your customer,
understanding the trends, signals and case studies curated in this presentation will help you and your
teams do just that.
