Specialty Areas

Dr. Ken Hudson is a world-class authority in helping individuals and teams think better and faster. By doing so, they can achieve more and unlock breakthrough results.

He is a compelling speaker, trainer, consultant and facilitator. If you want someone who can have an immediate impact then the tools and techniques of Speed Thinking are ideal. These can be learned and applied with great effect by any leader, manager or business owner.

Dr. Hudson in a previous life worked in marketing for many large organisations (Citibank, Dunlop Slazenger and American Express - where he was a Marketing Director). After successful stints in advertising and management consulting, Ken went back to university to gain a PHD in Organisational Creativity (UWS) to sit along with his B. Bus (UTS) and MBA (UNE).

Every day, business owners, managers and leaders are expected to deliver more and more with less and less. They have fewer people, smaller budgets and 'crucially' less time. Lack of time to make decisions has become the most stressful part of life for many business people.

MORE AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT – LESS SCREEN TIME

In my workshops and keynotes I deliver an inspiring, interactive and energising delegate experience.

I talk about Reinventing the way we work, Leadership, Small Wins Innovation, Creativity and Disruption.

In particular, my Speed Thinking or Blitz approach has participants working with others in a fun, fast and furious way.
