Most businesses and organisations today face the onslaught of disruptive forces: of market

liberalisation, rapid technology advances, changing consumer behaviours, and new threats from

non-traditional competitors.

In this unique masterclass, Azran Osman-Rani, a successful entrepreneur himself, shares his

secrets of success. In particular, you will witness the story of how unprecedented innovation

in product development and management practices led AirAsia X to become one of the most

successful low-cost airlines in the world.

MASTERCLASS LEADER: Azran Osman-Rani In 2007, at the age of 36, Azran was appointed founding CEO of AirAsia X, the world’s pioneer low-

cost long-haul airline. He led the development of AirAsia X’s business model to break many long-

haul airline conventions. Azran currently chairs the advisory board for the Asia Business Centre,

Curtin Business School in Australia, and holds board positions with PT XL Axiata in Indonesia

and Apex Investment Services in Malaysia. He also advises start-ups and high-growth businesses

through Endeavor Malaysia, Kairos Society, and the Cyberview.

What is covered:

Manage risk and harness the ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ by using corporate venture

structures to attack new customer segments with ‘no-turning-back’ determination

Traditional strategic planning and budgeting are outdated. Gain strategic advantage

through experimentation

Harness customer insights and deploy design-thinking’s iterative problem-solving

processes to continuously innovate new ways to delight customers

Build a culture of curiosity and risk-taking by removing the fear of failure in your

organisation and prioritising agility over caution

Azran’s energetic, humorous and interactive masterclass uses his real-life experiences

in revolutionising a traditional ‘old economy’ airline industry, combined with his

business development work in the ‘new economy’ media and technology sectors.

Who will benefit:

Entrepreneurs and mature start-ups

Product developers and R&D teams

Team leaders and managers seeking to enhance creativity and innovation

in their teams

Value and Expected Outcomes:

Specific practical actions and techniques that you can deploy to infuse an

entrepreneurial spirit and an innovator’s mindset into your organisation

Working tools to bring about positive change and create business breakthroughs,

even in the most traditional industries and sectors

Inspiring case studies and examples from real-life projects to illustrate that

world-beating breakthrough innovation need not be high-tech or complex

Moving with speed and agility and navigating through uncertainty

Design thinking and customer-focused innovation

There probably isn’t a music or newspaper mogul in the world today who wouldn’t like to wake up

tomorrow morning and find out the internet had just been a bad dream. But the digital revolution

was just a taste of far bigger things to come. Some business leaders will understand this, many

will not – and become irrelevant, and possibly dangerous as a result.

Drawing on lessons from commerce, art and science, this workshop will help you understand the

megatrends that will shape your business (and global economics) over the next 30 years; illustrate

how definitions of wealth, leadership and power will shift over the next decade; and it will

explore the new rules of corporate agility that will determine whether you prosper – or fall victim

to the unavoidable impact of rapid change.

helping you see where the world is going and how to adapt. He is the author of the international

bestsellers An Optimist’s Tour of the Future and We Do Things Differently. Via The Atlas of the

Future he is helping organisations across the globe see their role in creating a better world. His

Among the most common fears in management and decision-making are complexity and

uncertainty – something that all organisations and leaders try to avoid. But in doing so, they may

be losing the very thing that guarantees their long-term survival. Complexity is itself the engine

of collaboration that creates insight and inspiration and delivers the innovation much desired by

the leaders of today.

Dr. Beau Lotto and Lab of Misfits draw on the latest knowledge in neuroscience, behavioural

science and design thinking to offer a new way of looking at human behaviour and the process of

decision-making. The lab is a pioneer in its understanding of human perception and applies it to

create transformational experiences, helping leaders and organisations to embrace uncertainty

and use it to their advantage.

MASTERCLASS LEADER: Beau LottoDr. Beau Lotto is a globally renowned neuroscientist whose studies in human perception have

taken him beyond the scientific domain into the fields of business, education and the arts. He is

equally at home creating scientific experiments, running his two start-ups, giving talks, delivering

workshops designed for corporate leaders or making TV programmes (for the BBC, the National

Geographic Channel and PBS). Beau has given two main-stage TED talks and has spoken at a

Google Zeitgeist event, WIRED and at the G8 Summit in 2013. Beau is author of acclaimed Deviate:

The Science of Seeing Things Differently (2017).

What is covered:

The interdependent relationships between right leadership and right decisions:

Dealing with uncertainty – your brain knows how to solve this challenge

The (potential) power of diversity

Creativity of groups and the effects of others on individual decision-making

The concept of emergence and how to bring great ideas to life

How leaders can foster a space of innovation

Beau’s style is entertaining and informative. He explains not just HOW but WHY, which

enables you to apply his perceptual framework to your own life. His approach is very

interactive and gathers live data throughout his masterclass – an approach that enables

you to actively absorb the information being explored.


Understand how to use uncertainty and complexity to your advantage

Master how to manage and adapt to change and address the innovation challenge

within your organisation

Learn how to apply the principles of human creativity to the diverse activities and

challenges you encounter

You will actually be part of this process of discovery in a lab environment, asking

questions and finding answers that will transform the way you think

Beau Lotto is tailoring his master classes to fit each client’s situation. Extension

towards a true Perceptual Neuroscience experience is available. With his Lab of

Misfits he will take the audience on a journey to explore human perception and why

we experience the world the way we do in order to thrive within an increasingly

unpredictable world.

Master classes with Beau Lotto lead to measurable organizational and personal

change.
