We’re no longer managing change at work – we’re coping with chaos. There’s too much – of everything. With people overwhelmed by complexity and the path forward anything but clear, the answer is to not try and control chaos, the solution is to embrace simple. In this presentation, Lisa Bodell shows organizations why simplicity is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s the strategy to eliminate noise, regain focus, and unleash the capacity to create the future.

Lisa facilitates a rapid-fire “tactic swap” across tables, encouraging people to share favorites, discover new ideas, and commit to the first action they’ll take. After the exchange, Lisa guides a high-energy, full-room discussion to uncover the most frequently chosen tactics and clusters them into key themes – whether it’s killing unnecessary meetings, shifting approval processes, or cutting low-value reports. From there, she dives deep with real examples and activation strategies tailored to your audience. Participants leave with new ideas, a customized plan, and a renewed commitment to doing work that actually matters.
