Winning the Future

Asia is making massive strides and cannot be ignored - let me concentrate on the tiger rather than the cubs. The questions, risks and challenges that we face are very real. Perhaps we should return to the attitudes and courage of our not too distant ancestors that understood that nothing worth doing is without risk and, knowing the risks, opened the known and newly discovered world to trade. The countries of Europe have an entrepreneurial past second to none. With the clearest understanding that we can develop in a volatile situation perhaps we can regain some of the spirit of our forebears. Given that we must start somewhere - let us look at the challenges that may face us in China and determine if we have the sheer guts that it will take to deal with them.

Known to the American business press as the "world's friendliest guru" Tom Lambert is an international author, broadcaster, consultant, trainer, conference speaker, businessman and business journalist. In Europe, America and Southern Africa his books and seminars have led him to be known to the quality business press as "the consultant's consultant". Corporate clients who use his skills and knowledge in the hush-hush field of market dominance know him as the one consultant who can be trusted not to drop names of clients. Chief executives who benefit from his mentoring services expect and receive the same level of confidentiality. He has built his global reputation and status by practising what he preaches. He is recognised globally for his insights into strategic and tactical action, particularly in the field market dominance. He is an advocate of "cut to the chase" consultancy and speedy but sustainable results for clients.

Tom devotes much of his busy professional life to researching what the highest earning consultants actually do to build and sustain their professional practices. He shows professionals from all disciplines how to use unique approaches to no cost marketing to earn the high income that their expertise warrants.

Recognised internationally as the leading business authority in ensuring that what is learned in training programmes is transferred to the workplace, Tom has an unparalleled reputation for changing behaviour at every organisational level.

Tom is also a professor and an international member of the faculty at Rushmore University in the USA teaching masters and doctoral post-graduate students.

Tom is CEO of the international Centre for Consulting Excellence (CfCE) a professional body launched by leading academics and businesspeople in the UK, USA and Australia with links to the ASEAN Region, Middle East and the EU. The CfCE is an organisation that works with business and academia to ensure the highest standards of consulting and interim management - and fee income that makes those standards essential - are sustained in a highly volatile and competitive business environment.
