AdviserEdge 2017 Agenda

WHAT'S HAPPENING!

Check out the new and updated info below...

Day 1 – Sunday March 19

Adapt, Or Accept Becoming Completely Commoditized

There are 3 things you need to know about the future:

1) We are entering an age where Services now make up more than 68% of Global GDP and the trend is speeding up, not slowing down!

2) Technical knowledge and expertise are becoming commoditised, disrupting huge segments of the Services and especially Professional Services value chains.

3) We are now living in a ‘connected age’, where everyone has the potential to connect to everyone else.

What this means is that you are in the driver’s seat, provided you are able to scale what was previously thought unscaleable. Day 1 of AdviserEdge is about helping you recognise the opportunities (and define the process) to scale both your ability to reach and to then onboard and serve your clients and customers.

In this connected age, you must either adapt your way of doing things or accept becoming completely commoditized.

Day 2 – Monday March 20

The Most Valuable Formula You Will Ever Learn

Today is all about context; it’s about giving it to you, and also teaching you how to master it for yourselves for the benefit of your clients and your business.

Becoming a scaled professional or business in a connected age is as much about changing your thinking and behaviour as it is about knowing what to do. We will share with you stories of people just like you, who have made that change and how they went about making it.

We are also going to help you figure out what you should be doing next and how you can get help to make execution a reality.

Most excitingly, Baz is going to reveal what he calls The Context Engine. Let’s just say, it could be the most valuable formula you ever learn!

Day 3 – Tuesday March 21

A Rock Solid Action Plan

Listening to feedback from previous years, by now we have worn out your notebooks and you have a little brain fatigue but you are still riding high from the insane atmosphere and your ideas for the future to come. That’s why we are making Day 3 a half day, but it will be no less valuable.

Today is dedicated to taking action! Before you leave we want you to achieve clarity by answering these key questions:

1) How am I going to create a team to help me make this happen (no matter my budget)?

2) What should I be starting with first to create the most leverage?

3) What software can I use (and how can I use it) to bring it all together?

Strap yourself in because we want you heading home with a rock solid action plan!
