Viral Change™ : the alternative to the 80% failure rate of ‘change managment’
Highlighting the key concepts of the pioneering Viral Change™ programmes and the book of the same title, this is an insightful tour into the only real alternative to traditional, top-down and mechanistic ‘management of change’.
The Age of Activism: orchestrating large scale behavioural change in organizations and society
There is no difference between micro and macro-social change, a fact largely ignored in business. Organizational change is viral change, an internal social movement, or it isn’t. This keynote addresses ten inconvenient truths about management of change and brings closer to each other social activism ad internal activism.
Employee engagement? A company of volunteersEmployee engagement has become an industry on its own right. The old house of the psychology of motivation has been refurbished and redecorated. But most companies are not going far enough. Would employee self-management be the ultimate goal of employee engagement? This keynote challenges the traditional concepts of employee engagement as commonly accepted.
Keynotes
The current business environment across the world is facing unprecedented challenges. Fundamental shifts in the way organizations work have taken place, yet we still use old management and leadership toolkits, created at a time of a more predictable and linear world. Are we equipped for the new VUCA organization? How can we lead in this new environment?
KeynotesLeading change in VUCA land (volatile, unpredictable, complex and ambiguous)
“The man is an absolute inspiration. By far the best speaker at the event. His approach reflected what communications should be”
A tale of two worlds: information and behaviours
Most problems in day to day management can be traced to the mistaken assumption that communication is change. It isn’t. There is no change unless there is behavioural change, so no amount of communication can create change.Behaviours create cultures, not the other way around. Cultures are not created by training. A guide for the perplexed based upon his latest book Homo Imitans.
Other keynotes
Ten ways to kill and organization
How to skilfully achieve erosion, distrust, employee disengagement and business failure. And how surprising to find these mechanisms in leaders who claim they are building trust, engagement and success. Looking at the anatomy of an organizational murder helps enormously the building of living organizations, worth going to work to on a Monday morning.
Keynotes
The Mcdonaldization of management
How the mechanistic and ‘engineering’ tradition has dominated management for decades an converted an ‘organism’ into an ‘organization’. What are the new toolkits for the new management and the new collaborative structures coexisting within a firm?
Backstage leadership: the art of invisible leadership
So much has been written about visible top leadership and its supposed power of role modelling that we have created a dogma. The reality points towards a more subtle and more powerful form of leadership where the stage is given to others: backstage leadership. Who are these players in a ‘distributed leadership model’? And how can top leaders understand this, adapt and reinvent them selves as leaders?
“This was one of the most interesting presentations - would like to have more on this topic especially about how to work with this in real life”

“Spectacular, a highlight. As interesting for us mangers as itwould be for CEOs”
Pre-conferenceOccasionally, if the topic and timeframe are appropriate, we would survey the audience (or a sample of it), pre-conference, anonymously via an online questionnaire on some few specific topics so that at Dr Herrero’s keynote, this data can be shown as ‘their collective views’. This is a possibility to bear in mid. Post-conferenceIn some cases Leadership teams or part of them have requested to have a wrap-up private session with Dr Herrero to benefit from his insights and a discussion of the themes of the conference. This kind of ‘private Q&A’ has proven highly successful. This follow up could happen during the conference time itself (sometimes not too convenient) or a few days or weeks later. A possibility to consider.BooksLeandro Herrero’s books are often ‘left behind’ in company conferences as a momentum or as a reference for further use. Usually the publisher can provide a discount for bulk purchases. Please contact us if of interest.
“Great guy, interesting mind-shift, really told something new.”
Seminars
Following a book of the same title this is a ‘crash course’ on remarkably simple, low cost, high impact changes that can be implemented in any organization that wants to improve radically, provided it has the ambition to adopt unconventional thinking .
Disruptive ideasOrganizational and business transformation and change may not be enough. ‘Rebooting the system’ may be the best accelerator. Identifying sacred cows and elephants in the room may be a good start. Ten more steps and you’ll be in re boot mode. Which are they? This is a practical workshop providing both assessment an roadmap tools ending in a game plan that can be tracked.
Reboot! The Game Plan
New leaders wanted, now hiring
From a book of the same title this is an invitation to find twelve types of new thinkers and new leaders, and then find jobs for them. Exactly in that order. Practical seminar to identify the types and asses their value for the organization.

KeynotesThe beta Organization™
Innovation has been hijacked by process junkies and tool vendors. Whilst we need tools and processes, most innovation is behavioural. No wonder many processes have become straightjackets and many tools are underutilized. ‘It's behaviours, stupid!’ A practical workshop focused on the behavioural side of innovation and how to create a true behavioural DNA regardless the existence of tools.
Innovactions!
‘Unfinished by design’, the Beta Organisation™ masters the art of flexibility, the bravery of the co-existence of various, often contradictory organizational and business models within the same firm, and the abolition of the word ‘change’ due to complete redundancy.: change is its normal stay of life. What are its characteristics and how can we build one of these? (Also a forthcoming book).

The Leader with Seven Faces
Executive leadership retreats
This is a thee or four day intensive executive retreat held in a non-business or training environment exploring the seven faces of leadership at both personal and group level . These faces, as described in a book of the same title, are what leaders say, what they build, where they go and take other people with them, how they do it, ‘what’ are they and what they actually do. Exclusive for top leadership and management teams. Pre seminar reading is required. The focus of this retreat is on having the right questions, not off the shelf answers. It goes quite deep into the leader’s DNA. The Seven Faces provide a roadmap for introspection, self-assessment, awareness and call to action. The group dynamics facilitate the individual and shared commitment.

“Nothing like this in executive retreats. Apprehensive first. Nowso glad I did it”
The 3S Bootcamp for leaders
Executive leadership retreats
An alternative four day executive, leadership retreat to master the art of introspection through silence only disrupted by group sharing of insights and guest speakers from the non-business world. Unfortunately blackberries, laptops and smartphones are completely banned in the premises for the entire duration of the retreat. Each participant is also coached twice by Leandro Herrero before, and after the retreat. The 3S stand for silence, stillness and solitude, at the core of many forms of old Western and Eastern religious tradition. This is not a religious or New Age retreat but we borrow the 3 traditional S which the modern leader is in desperate need of. It is as down to earth as Pascal’s statement that “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”. He might have today referred to leadership.
