About this event

Many leaders struggle to deliver improvements in key metrics without spreading people too thinly - this session aims to put that right.

In a challenging economic climate, to stay competitive you want every key business metric to keep on improving. Yet so many leaders struggle to deliver consistent improvements without breaking the budget, or spreading people too thinly.

In this insightful and engaging keynote, Sue reveals how to overcome the key reasons that most improvement efforts fail, and a step-by-step process for delivering sustainable, ground-breaking results - leading to less stress and a healthier bottom line.

Drawing on her time as an Engineer, programme leader, and years of experience supporting businesses to achieve ambitious targets, Sue created her Improvement Catalyst model. This model reveals performance blind spots, makes breakthrough change less daunting and disruptive, and unleashes previously un-tapped capabilities.

In this talk Sue delivers practical, actionable content, enabling the audience to

  • Lay the best foundations for sustained improvements
  • Recognise and build on what’s already working
  • Break the common habit which can ruin results
  • Fix the time drains, to resolve reactive firefighting
  • Tap into what really gets people to engage and change
  • Get ready to be challenged, entertained and energised.

About the speaker:

Sue Evans

Most business leaders have what they need to deliver ground-breaking performance. But few know how to unlock it.

Sue Evans helps business leaders to achieve ambitious targets in key metrics, without breaking their people or the bank.

From her original Engineering background, Sue’s delivered £multi-million improvements in global businesses including Corning, Danone and Lloyds Banking Group. Working at both ends of the world class spectrum, she’s gained unique insight into embedding effective, real-world improvements, from any starting point - without the false starts or frustration.

Adding hypnotherapy to her skill set sparked a fascination for behavioural science, and a deeper understanding of how to overcome the resistance which hampers so attempted improvements.

Sue’s keynotes are interactive and insightful, equipping audiences to reveal performance blind spots, make breakthrough change less daunting and disruptive, and unleash previously untapped capabilities.
