DYNAMIC SUCCESS STRATEGIES FROM A WINNER
GARY BAILEY, internationally renowned football goalkeeper for England, Manchester United and S.A., is also a successful businessman, TV presenter - and motivating and enlightening public speaker.
Gary's presentations are about teamwork and surviving the tough times; about coping with the obstacles of everyday life and having the determination to push on to succeed. Using his experience as a football player, together with short, powerful video clips of his FA Cup Final matches, to illustrate 'It's Not Easy Getting to the Top - But It's Great when you Get There'. A highly motivating presentation for all levels of personnel.
A Strategy Motivation Workshop
HOW THE WORLD CUP WAS WON
A well planned and structured strategy is essential for the continuous growth and sustained success of any corporation. However, strategy written by senior management and not effectively communicated to line management, can be worthless and destructive.
In this workshop, Gary draws on his knowledge and experience of implementing success strategies in the world-class sporting arena and gives delegates the opportunity to explore the true potential of their company strategy.
The aim is to enhance the level of understanding of the short and long term goals to your staff, to the degree that they gain total acceptance of the concept and implement your strategy to the benefit of the whole corporation. It is essential to the success of any strategy, that management believes that the strategy that has been formulated, is a dynamic and powerful tool that can dramatically increase the level of income into the company. A successful way of doing this, is to use the fascinating analogy of finding the similarities between a company's strategy and those utilised by the winning Springboks in their pursuit of becoming World-Class Champions.
Gary uses his knowledge gained by playing soccer for Manchester United for ten years, allied to the theory learnt as part of his MBA course (Henley, Oxford), to provide an inspirational and dynamic approach to formulating strategies.
This two-hour workshop starts with a 45 minute motivational presentation which includes Gary's experiences in football, along with inspiring video footage of his games at Wembley, to show the importance of the individual and team contribution in any strategy.
The focus then turns to the Springboks and the group is broken into teams who analyse their success strategy. The thoughts of the group are then compiled with regard to the Springboks' strategy, and comparisons drawn to their company's strategic approach. Many valuable lessons are learnt when delegates come to their own conclusions.
Using the analogy of the Springboks, Gary provides a stimulating thought process, enhanced by screening the last few minutes of the World Cup final, as this truly shows the power of a good strategy implemented by a good team.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010 Game Plan
As we look out of the window at the world that lies ahead, looming large on the horizon is the 2010 World Cup. Over half the world will tune in just to watch the final game alone, nearly 400,000 people are expected to tour South Africa during the few weeks of the competition, and estimates of GDP growth range from R 20 billion to staggering figures that defy belief. Some companies are already feeling the benefits, especially in the construction industry. As of 3 July 2006 (the final day of Germany's World Cup), South Africa will be thrust into the spotlight, and a four year frenzy will begin in earnest. is your company ready for all the opportunities this once-in-a-lifetime event provides? Does it know the threats? Do you know which companies and industries benefited most from past World Cups? Do you know which ones failed? Do you know why and how? Did you know, for example, that many restaurants and pubs went out of business in Korea in 2002? Do you know why? Did you know that most countries that have hosted a World Cup or Olympics have had a 2% or more GDP spike 2 years ahead of the games, and a 1% or more drop below their average for the 2 years after the games? Can we avoid this? Through our ongoing and extensive research, we are finding answers for these and other questions, and are excellently placed to assist companies in every industry to know how to make the decision about getting a game plan for 2010.
The opportunities for companies in 2010 are not limited to external business, customer and profit-focused ideas, however. There are also wonderful internal opportunities to motivate staff, transformation and diversity, and the development of talent. In addition, it isn't all about what we as South Africans can get OUT of the World Cup, but also what we can do as organisations and individuals to put into it, and ensure the overall success of the event.
This presentation provides the facts and information required to grasp the magnitude of the opportunities (and threats) presented by the World Cup 2010. It goes further to provide a broader outline of the 2010 context, including looking at future political issues (it will be the first year with a new South African president, and Bush, Blair, Schroder, Chirac, Howard, Koizumi, Berlusconi, da Silva are all likely to be out of power), economic issues (where will the rand and interest rates be, and what will our GDP growth be?), technology (what new technologies are emerging and available for 2010, and what difference will they make?), global realities (9/11 affected the Korea-Japan World Cup dramatically - what global realities might affect us in 2010?) and other significant future trends. We then present some of the case studies we have been researching, showing what companies have done at past events, and what worked and what didn't. We provide a framework for companies in which they can make a decision about how (and if) to get involved, highlighting external, internal and personal opportunities (and threats).
All of this is interspersed with the powerful personal reflections of one of South Africa's soccer legends, Gary Bailey. Well known media presenter, soccer legend of Man United and Kaiser Chiefs, England, South Africa, Gary has been involved at World Cups as player, commentator, analyst and was ambassador on the 200 6 bid committee with Danny Jordaan and the team. Using multimedia and an edu-taining style, we not only present the facts, we also inspire and motivate your team to action, leaving with a powerful and insightful view of the five years that lie ahead. Even if the soccer World Cup is not a major focus, the exercise of looking five years ahead and getting your team to reflect on strategy for the future will have an energising impact on your business today. |
