2. She is a clear thought leader in the organization, human systems domain.
Her work consistently helps shape how organizations can build capabili-
ties that nurture individual talent. I am always anxious for her latest work
because I know it will inform my thinking. She works at the leading and
innovative edge of organization thinking. She has a knack for working
inside companies but finding general trends that cut across companies.
She writes clearly and elegantly. She presents with passion and insight.
Those who hear her speak will be informed, nourished, and richly blessed.
Professor Dave Ulrich, University of Michigan about Lynda Gratton.
You always know when you’re in a Hot Spot. You feel energized and alive.
Your brain is buzzing with ideas and the people around you share your
excitement. These are times when you and your colleagues’ thinking
become clearer, when adding value becomes more possible. Times when
ideas and insights from others combine with your own in a process of syn-
thesis to produce eureka moments, ground breaking ideas and innovations.
Hot Spots can be discovered in teams, at department away days, in meet-
ing rooms or factories, at conferences or by the water cooler - any place
where people work together in exceptionally creative and collaborative
ways. Drawing on her work with leading organizations including Nokia,
Goldman Sachs, Reuters and BP, Lynda Gratton explores the organizational
and operational processes they’ve put in place to help ignite Hot Spots –
and realize their competitive potential. She shares the principles for ena-
bling Hot Spots to emerge and flourish.
Lynda Gratton will explain how all organizations can increase the likelihood
of break-through innovations taking place, and the role that HR can play in
helping to create the mindsets, relationships and ways of organising that
energise people and enable them to engage and enable the organization to
win in new markets.
Participants will leave the seminar with the ability to:
n Understand the value that Hot Spots create in companies
n Identify and understand which elements are crucial for the emergence
of Hot Spots
n Examine how your role in your company can support and develop the
context in which Hot Spots flourish
The event is aimed at HR professionals from private and public organiza-
tions, who wish to succeed in creating a long-term success that lasts. You
will learn how to increase the emergence of innovation and energy in your
organisation. You will understand what it takes to create Hot Spots that add
value and ensure the company’s sustainability.
We look forward to seeing you at the event!

tions Buzz with Energy - and Others Don’t
When energy flares between people; when coop-
eration flourishes and ideas become contagious;
when work is exciting, new possibilities appear
and innovation happens…That is a Hot Spot, and it
has the power to propel teams towards goals they
never believed were achievable.
Teams who ignite a Hot Spot are energized,
vibrantly alive and buzzing with inspiration. They
know that, working together, they will achieve
something brilliant, important and purposeful. The
energy is palpable, bright, shining.
Hot Spots, is the final part of Lynda Gratton’s tril-
ogy of books (the first two being Living Strategy
and The Democratic Enterprise), which take
an optimistic, humane approach to people and
work. Through her research and experience she
has shown that work can be fulfilling, engaging,
meaningful and an important part of our happi-
ness. Hot Spots shows managers how it is done.
Although based on world class scholarship and
research, this is essentially a pragmatic and prac-
tical book. It describes Hot Spots, what they are
and how they work. It also lays down the principles
for creating the right environment for one to
emerge (although managers are warned that you
cannot command a Hot Spot to appear).
Hot Spots captures the management zeitgeist,
details the new ways of working and
looks to the future of the world of work.
