Testimonials

Indeed, in South America we seem to have an endless troupe of American and European experts preaching innovation and entrepreneurship at conferences and universities, including many who are well-recognized names in those fields. In July 2010 I had the unique pleasure of working at many events with Roger La Salle and his Matrix Thinking methodology. His material, presentations and workshops are without any doubt the most engaging, simplest and valuable method I have ever experienced. In fact during his work I found it quite impossible not to come up with the next big thing in any of the many market sectors he touched on, and this was evident also within the groups he worked with. This material is invaluable and directly targeted at practical outcomes for businesses of any type. I commend this highly.

Roger's interactive presentation in our recent conference was truly enlightening. He delivered a simple yet powerful message full of anecdotes and real examples. No overheads or PowerPoint for this fellow, he just walks and talks and doodles on a white board as he reveals the secrets of innovation.

The best speaker we have ever had.
- Australian Inventors Association

We found the system an excellent approach to developing innovative ideas from customers, service agents, engineers and sales staff. The normal brainstorming method is only a distant second in comparison to his innovation process. We used if for the Strategic Planning Conference in early 2007 and managed to get some outstanding out of the box ideas in just half a day.
- Fasco Asia Pacific

Thanks for giving us a focused process for finding opportunities within even the most complex issues and challenges. It was a wonderful revelation!

- AALARA (Australian Amusement, Leisure and Recreation Association)

Roger, just a short note to thank you for the fabulous interactive presentation at the ICN National Conference last month. Our internal survey confirmed that your information and delivery style were absolutely the highlight of the event. You left our people with both the motivation and the tools to understand and implement innovation in our business.
- Chief Executive Officer, ICN - Victoria

"I would also like to comment on Roger's excellent delivery style which I found to be very down to earth and inspiring at the same time. His passion for innovation highlighted by the "throwing out" of ideas and challenges to the group shone though."
- Optimatics, Adelaide

Inspirational. A great presentation.
- Isolectra Far East, Singapore

Facing a challenging audience of Australian fruit growers, Roger not only managed to raise the energy in the room up a few notches but he delivered on our key conference objective - to open the minds of Australian fruit growers to the possibility of innovation! Roger is a thoroughly engaging speaker and in my opinion would be a valuable contributor to any event wanting to promote change/innovation.
