Masterclass 3 - Brain-savvy business. Using an understanding of the brain to create better businesses

Jan Hills, Founder, Head Heart + Brain We are learning that successful leaders use more than their head. The heart and brain play an important part too. Neuroscience, the brain part, is all about understanding how our brains function best. And its findings are challenging a lot of the ways people have traditionally been taught to lead businesses. Since 2009 we have worked with business leaders to show how the latest science can maximise their business performance, creating an environment that is innovative, inclusive, and utilises more diverse skills than thinking. A business that can get the best from their employees can better understand the minds of their customers or clients. Using insights from neuroscience, leaders can create working environments that get the very best out of their employees – unlocking the problem-solving skills and initiative that all modern businesses need. Neuroscience is giving us a new understanding of how people make decisions, change, create new ways of working and have new ideas. Our brain-savvy approach helps leaders apply the science to their everyday working practices. We will share with you some of these insights and how you can use them in your business. Attendees will be provided with a copy of Jan’s book Brain-savvy Business.
