The Brains Behind It All: How to Improve Organizational Performance through Neuroscience


Dr. Colin Wallace
PhD, Neuropsychology

Hosted by the Human Resources Committee

 

To build competitive advantage, organizations have to be more adaptable and resilient, more responsive to change and more customer-centric than anyone else in their respective industries. Having engaged employees and high performing teams are the most critical components to achieve organizational success and outperform the competition.

As research into the mind develops, organizations will see neuroscience being applied to more and more areas of human behavior and impacting the art of leadership. Dr. Colin Wallace, PhD,
will:
  • explain breakthroughs in cognitive science and their impact for organizational transformation;
  • provide insights on why neuroscience should be considered as a must for all those companies who want to understand human behaviors in a corporate environment and improve their people's motivation and performance.


Dr. Colin Wallace, born in Scotland and educated in Ireland and the United States, holds a PhD in Neuropsychology and he began his career as a military psychological operations officer. Later he worked as a government emergency planning officer before holding a number of senior management appointments with the British Airports Authority.


Dr. Wallace has more than 30 years experience in providing consultancy services to many of the world’s most successful organizations. His clients include HSBC, Siemens, Barclays Capital, Maersk Marine Services, Procter & Gamble, The Coca Cola Company and many more.
