Gabor George Burt's Programs

Gabor George Burt provides programs that teach companies to overstep self-imposed boundaries so that they can experience sustained growth and obtain a deeper and more effective relationship with their consumers.

Re-Imagine the Boundaries of Your Business

In a business environment without borders, standing still is not an option. According to visionary Burt, you are either actively shaping the future of your market space or being left behind by others who are. His “slingshot framework” enables a participant to become a future-shaper in his/her organization and harness creative thinking to drive relevance and growth. During his interactive presentations using his proprietary framework, he teaches audiences to:

· Turn the weakest points of their customers’ experience into the strongest

· Aim not simply to satisfy, but to “infatuate” customers

· Stretch the definition of business in order to discover new markets of relevance and impact

· Embrace the “Shortcut to Meaningful Innovation” by unlocking powerful combinations of already existing components

At the end of the session, participants will possess the critical link between creativity and smart strategy and be empowered to:

· Systematically use new creativity

· Create and sustain strong emotional connection with target audiences

· Elevate business to shape lifestyles (and workstyles) rather than simply be a provider of goods or services

· Pursue meaningful innovation with the most impact and lowest cost

Harness the Full Creative Potential of Your Organization

A survey of 100,000 people by interesting.org found that 98% believe creativity is important for their work, yet only 45% consider themselves creative, and a mere 2% think that their place of work fosters creativity. The good news, says Burt, is that creativity is a vastly underused, but completely free, abundant and immensely powerful resource we all possess. In this session, Burt shows how to capture and utilize creative thinking as a key resource that enables participants to:

· Connect systematic creativity with smart strategy

· Align the organization around the pursuit of meaningful innovation

· Shape the future of the market space

· Achieve strong customer loyalty, expanded relevance and sustained growth

How to Create Continuous Blue Oceans

Most companies are unable to find blue oceans—market spaces they have all to themselves. If they do find them, they are incapable of keeping them and discovering subsequent blue ocean spaces. In this presentation, Burt will show participants how they can create ongoing blue oceans of high customer value with no competition. A leading expert in blue ocean strategy, Burt pinpoints the key elements and simple approach to creating continuous blue oceans, while allowing an organization to maintain high growth, distinctive market offerings, and sidestep cutthroat price competition.

Re-Imagine Dinners

Burt’s Re-Imagine Dinners are intimate, exclusive gatherings of VIP attendees designed to explore how to overstep boundaries for continuous growth and relevance. Burt plays the role of host and provocateur, leading a combination of conversation and activities that challenges attendees to learn from each other. Each dinner is organized in a memorable setting with a creative chef who demonstrates the principles of “re-imagining boundaries” in the dinner itself, using ingredients in unusual yet savory combinations. All participants sit around a single table, which fosters an environment of strong group interaction.
