Cliff Dennett
Cliff Dennett has had more than 18 years experience in senior management level working for various multinational companies. He excels in areas of strategic development, innovation, creativity and problem solving and aims to help clients find the gaps in the market rather than to focus on beating the competition.
Cliff runs a diverse strategic innovation business and delivers innovation programmes across the EMEA Region, the US and the Far East for public, private, profit and non-profit organisations. He will be visiting New Zealand in mid July and August 2007 and is available to share his knowledge and passion with you.
He has experience in corporate strategy and innovation for organisations as diverse as Orange, the UK’s National Prisons Service, Jaguar, The United Nations, local councils, UBS,
ABN-AMRO, HM Revenue and Customs and the Turkish conglomerate, Eczacibasi. He has specific operational experience of the mobile telecommunications, motor manufacturing
and Information Technology Service industries.
Cliff’s creates innovative products to help groups of people communicate, develop shared understanding and work better together. Recent examples of this are: an innovation card game to encourage idea development and an immersive, engaging online application for a famous museum re-fit to encourage greater understanding of important transportation issues amongst its 2000+ visitors per day.
Cliff is a regular public speaker and is developing ‘Serious Gaming’ applications and concepts across the sports, security, telecommunications and museum sectors, all designed
to encourage greater understanding through more effective communications. In his workshops, he uses various proven techniques, including Blue Ocean Strategy, LEGO Serious Play, theatre improvisation and Systemic Inventive Thinking as well as designing bespoke processes to deliver specific outcomes.
Cliff uses Information Technology to communicate complex ideas, share wisdom, increase motivation and creates a sense of belonging among employees. Cliff investigates and explains the new trend and phenomenon of online gaming as a new communications medium important by organisational development experts, and directors at most levels of companies.
Cliff helps you focus on generating brand new, ground-breaking innovative thought which is “head in the clouds, feet on the ground” – i.e. innovative yet practical. The creativity and innovation course focuses more at a process and product level (how do we do the day to day differently).
Cliff can present or do workshops on strategy, innovation, creativity and problem solving. He is an enthusiastic and entertaining speaker and will not disappoint.
