Video extracts from the event:
Unleash the Imagination
We’ve always done it this way? Why rock the boat? How often have these lines been used to defeat new ideas and deflate enthusiasm? Why? If Scotland is to be that dynamic economy we want it to be we must release ourselves from the shackles and promote free-thinking and yes, risk taking. This event looks at how we can achieve this without striking fear into those who would ‘haud us back’.
From the Event: "A positive exercise. The whole event was handled really well, with a good array of speakers and excellent contributions from people in the audience."
Gail Newton, Newton Consultancy Ltd - Regeneration Consultants
Set in Scotland’s Gallery of Modern Art – where new ideas abound

Words ‘r’ us
Language is our currency. It affects attitudes and behaviours all around us. This event explores how by making some changes to the way we present ourselves and the organisations we represent, we can dramatically change the responses we get - even if it means losing some of our most treasured phrases.
Set in the Bonham Hotel – where traditional architecture is superbly overlaid by modern thinking and design
Thursday 18th May, 6pm – 8pm
