Interactive Keynote Presentations
1. Why SIMPLE Wins: Escape the Complexity Trap and Get to Work That Matters
Imagine what you could do with the time you spend sitting in meetings and writing emails every day.
Complexity is killing companies' ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our
time. Drawing on research and themes from her latest book, Why Simple Wins, Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to
proactively move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today’s corporate
world, to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. By learning how to eliminate
redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize
which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value.
Using engaging stories and techniques, Bodell shows that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the
organizational and individual busywork that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that
matters.
SIMPLE is the new solution. Drawing on her work with global companies, Lisa Bodell shares tools and
takeaways on how organizations and individuals can eradicate
complexity, and allow Simplicity to be their new operating system
and North Star towards an innovative workplace culture.

KEYNOTE TOPICS
2. Kill the Company: End the Status Quo, Start an Innovation Revolution
Winning innovators embrace change—do you? What holds you back from better innovating, every day? In too many
organizations, we’re stuck in the land of status quo. We’ve forgotten how to think differently, and lack the simple tools to solve
problems creatively. The very structures put in place to help organizations grow are now holding us back. So, it’s time to Kill the
Company! This keynote is an inspirational call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and how we work.
The key lesson of this keynote: if we want people to approach change differently, we have to change our approach. You will
learn how simplification lets us achieve more and better innovation. This can reignite critical aptitudes such as curiosity, inquiry,
creative problem solving, and more.
The keynote will bring to life the concepts presented in Lisa’s bestselling book, Kill the
Company:
1. Everyone is a change agent. 2. Change involves a toolkit, not a process. 3. Little changes can create big impact.
Lisa will introduce tangible ways to ignite innovation through the dynamic, yet simple
exercises in the Kill the Company Toolkit, including Kill a Stupid Rule, Killer Queries,
Impossible to Possible, and many more. You will leave this keynote with ways to eliminate
needless complexity with simple, inspiring ways to make innovation happen now!
