JIM COLLINS
Jim Collins is a student and teacher of leadership and what makes
great companies tick.
Having invested a quarter century of research into the topic, he has
authored or co-authored six books that have sold in total more than
ten million copies worldwide. They include: Good to Great, the #1
bestseller, which examines why some companies and leaders make
the leap to superior results, along with its companion work Good to
Great and The Social Sectors; the enduring classic Built to Last, which
explores how some leaders build companies that remain visionary for
generations; How the Mighty Fall, which delves into how once-great
companies can self-destruct; and most recently, Great by Choice,
which is about thriving in chaos – why some do, and others don’t –
and the leadership behaviors needed in a world beset by turbulence,
disruption, uncertainty and dramatic change.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Jim began his research and teaching
career on the faculty at Stanford Graduate School of Business,
where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. In
1995, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado,
where he conducts research and engages in Socratic dialogue with
CEOs and senior leadership teams. In addition to his work in the
business sector, Jim has passion for learning and teaching in the
social sectors, including education, healthcare, government, faithbased organisations, social ventures and cause-driven non-profits.
In 2012 and 2013, he had the honour to serve a two-year
appointment as the Class of 1951 Chair for the Study of Leadership
at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Jim holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematical sciences and an MBA
from Stanford University, and honorary doctoral degrees from the
University of Colorado and the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of
Management at Claremont Graduate University.
He is an avid rock climber, with one-day ascents of the north face
of Half Dome and the 3,000 foot south-face of El Capitan in
Yosemite Valley.

AGENDA
{08:30 – 12:00}
CHARACTERISTICS AND BEHAVIOURS TO LEAD YOUR
BUSINESS TO GREATNESS
Presented by Jim Collins
Jim Collins will reveal the findings from his nine-year research
which asks the simple question: Why do some companies thrive
in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? When buffeted by
tumultuous events, when hit by big, fast-moving forces that we can
neither predict nor control, what distinguishes those who perform
exceptionally well from those who underperform or worse?
We live in a world where we can no longer predict with certainty
the twists and turns our lives will take. Throughout the world,
technological change and global competition continues on a
relentless, disruptive march. Life is uncertain, the future unknown.
Yet some companies and leaders navigate this type of world
exceptionally well. They don’t merely react; they create. They don’t
merely survive; they prevail. They don’t merely succeed; they thrive.
They build great enterprises that can endure. We do not believe that
chaos, uncertainty, and instability are good; companies, leaders,
organisations and societies do not thrive on chaos. But they can
thrive in chaos.
Jim will take you through the behaviours and characteristics of
companies that achieve such spectacular results, especially when
direct comparisons – companies operating in the same fast-moving,
unpredictable, and tumultuous environments – do not. Part of the
answer lies in the distinctive behaviours of their leaders.
“Greatness is not a function of circumstance.
Greatness is largely a matter of conscious
choice and discipline.”
