The Best Kept Secret For High Potential
​Communications Practitioners
epic NextGen brings together the world’s brightest communications practitioners to help people like you gain access to the best and most relevant insights and strategies to resolve real-world communications challenges in the workplace.

  • Curated discussions on topics and challenges that are relevant to you and your team right now, with like-minded individuals who are on the same path
​
  • The collaborative and creative environment you need to share ideas and best practice
 
  • The tools, techniques, and insights from those who have been where you want to go
​What makes me, me? It’s a question most of us ask ourselves at some point. And answering it by thinking about what we’re interested in, what’s important to us and what we want to achieve is hugely important to leading a life we feel good about.
Meee is made up of three separate strands: with an overarching aim to help people understand who they are and what they want to be. Sometimes, a shift in thinking is all we need to enable us to see things from a different perspective, shake off our funk and access a different option to spring into positive action. Many of us think of change as an endless, uphill battle but, sometimes, it can happen in a minute.

Using science to make organisations more human

During the last two decades, scientists have gained a new, far more accurate view of human nature and behavior change because of the integration of psychology (the study of the human mind and human behavior) and neuroscience (the study of the anatomy and physiology of the brain). Managers who understand the breakthroughs in cognitive science can lead and influence mindful change: organisational transformation that takes into account the physiological nature of the brain, and the ways in which it predisposes people to resist some forms of leadership and accept others.

Tapping the power of hidden influencers
Picture
Employee resistance is the most common reason executives cite for the failure of big organisational-change efforts. Winning over sceptical employees and convincing them of the need to change just isn’t possible through mass e-mails, PowerPoint presentations, or impassioned CEO mandates. Rather, companies need to develop strong change leaders employees know and respect - in other words, people with informal influence. But there’s one problem: finding them. How can company leaders identify those people beforehand to better harness their energy, creativity, and goodwill - and thereby increase the odds of success?

Making the invisible visible
​All organisations have informal networks beside the formal structures. Few leaders know how to leverage the interpersonal networks in organisations. How do you connect to the intelligence and networks of your people, and turn this into a competitive advantage for your organisation?

​The Data
  • ​3% of your employees drive the perception of up to 90% of their colleagues. Both the negative and the positive
  • Sense-making happens when we talk with our trusted peers, the 3%, not with our managers
  • Organisational agility can be increased by 20-25% by connecting the right individuals
  • If an energizing colleague resigns, the probability of other colleagues resigning increases by up to 500%
  • Coherent teams and organisations perform significantly better

Dr. Leandro Herrero

Watch Dr. Leandro Herrero speak about Behaviour Change and Organisations as "Social Movements".
A tale of two worlds
​
  • World I could be described as an advocacy world. It is the world of logical or emotional arguments, the pros and cons, the rational appeal.
  • World II behaviours are mostly copied by others. Imitation makes them scalable. Behaviours are multiplied through influence and travel through social networks.
  • World II is a ‘pull’ world. In this world, behaviours don’t spread top down or even bottom up. They spread multi-centric. By the power of imitation and social copying, your behaviour is pulling other behaviours around you.
  • World II is the world of behavioural change and organisational change. Micro and macro social change live here. It’s home to Homo Imitans. Above all: it’s viral.
  • What is intellectually acquired and emotionally hosted through training and awareness can fade at the speed of light unless it is translated into behaviours which are socially infected and scaled up.
  • Conversations are to a social organism what chemical reactions are to the biological organism. They represent the difference between life and death.
