Michael Rennie is the Managing Partner of professional service firm, McKinsey & Co.
Michael’s presentation at Ci2010, titled “Necessity is the mother of invention”, is an extremely inspirational, personal and practical look at the importance of “bringing love to business”.
Twenty years ago, Michael was diagnosed with cancer and given one year to live. Through the mind/body work he experienced during this time not only did Michael amazingly manage to beat the disease, but realise how this incredible new knowledge could be translated to organisational change.
In order to heal yourself, and to heal an organisation, the most important step is to believe that you can. To move from an ‘external locus of control’ to an ‘internal locus of control’ – accepting that you have the power to make change, and then doing something about it.
Michael shares two simple, practical & very effective ‘big ideas’ in this presentation on how you can instantly become more creative & innovative – personally and within your organisation.

"Without a doubt the best conference in Australia with a delightful mix of creativity and big thinking bringing together an eclectic group of industry, community and education leaders. Once again, I’ve come away enthused by new ideas, more aware of future trends, and heartened by the kindness of humanity. We all have a role to play and it should be a collective one." Kerry Anderson, Founder of Operation Next Gen
"Conferences are boring. Creative Innovation is more like a rodeo for ideas, and you are guaranteed to leave wanting to make the world better for everyone." Andrew Despi, A.kin
"Kudos to Tania for organising the the 2019 CI Conference in Melbourne - it is the best I have attended so far. All the speakers and sessions were very well-planned.
