In addition to keynote speeches and boardroom briefings, Rowan Gibson conducts more extensive innovation masterclasses – either as public or in-company events. Usually, these are full-day in duration (although a half-day version may also be arranged). For in-company events, Rowan customizes his material to fit the particular audience and industry sector. He also schedules at least two break-out sessions (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) for team-based insight generation and ideation. These sessions typically produce a wide portfolio of high quality insights and actionable ideas.
Rowan uses very graphic Powerpoint slides – each typically features just one powerful image and a single statement – and he tends to have a large slide deck for each speech (around 150 slides per hour) which makes his presentations extremely dynamic.
