“When we first met Michael Gass, he told us a story. Of how he had wanted to go to big international conference, but had neither the time nor the money to attend. So instead, he “followed” the three day conference on social media, and posted about what had most struck him about other people’s comments.

On day three, the conference organisers called him. Could he come down to their newsroom? Because his comments were the best and the most perceptive. But he was five hundred miles away, in Atlanta..

Michael may not tell you this story. Instead, he’ll use a suite of practical tools to help your team lay out and implement probably the most effective new business program you’ve ever had. But underneath, is the same theme: it’s not about how much you produce, or how far you travel, or how hard you work: it’s about whether you are more efficient, better organised and smarter than your competitors.”
