Bio #1

Kevin Harrington brings over 30 years of experience working with small, medium, and large companies across a variety of industries. As a partner at Succession Plus, he provides strategic advice to business owners on succession planning and exit strategies.

Before joining Succession Plus, Kevin served as Chief Marketing Officer at The Panoply, a publicly traded technology services company focused on acquiring niche IT consultancies. He was responsible for overseeing marketing operations during the business’s flotation on the London Stock Market.

Kevin also held the role of Chief Commercial Officer at Tungsten Network, a leading provider of e-invoicing solutions. There, he focused on sales, marketing, and international business development.

In previous positions, Kevin gained valuable expertise in payments, publishing, media, consumer technology, and telecommunications.

The Four-Minute Business Mile

Timed at 20′ (no, it’s not a 4-minute speech), this keynote speech talks about how to break business records, how to defy the received wisdom and how to collaborate for success.

The Four Minute Business Mile is especially suited to businesses, divisions or departments that are growing and struggling on resource. None of us achieves success and growth by ourselves but how we collaborate should be on mutually beneficial terms.

This speech always creates a good level of discussion and debate after the event. It works well as a scene setter for subsequent speakers and presenters.

3 Ways to Kill a Good Idea

A light heated look at the bad habits of corporate terrorists, nay sayers and mood Hoovers. What is their strategy for killing a good idea? How do they do so little and stifle creativity so effectively?

This session can be run well as an after dinner speech or a conference/seminar session. I can deliver this as either a 10 minute session or a 30 minute speech.

Motivation is Child’s Play

This session, usually around 30′, looks at what motivates children. It then goes on to look at what changes as we become adults.

What can we learn from this? How can we really understand and engage our teams? The ideas discussed are not about spending large amounts of money, quite the contrary, they are about practical and brave ideas to help managers and directors set their business apart.

How and Why to Increase Prices

There is another way to be successful with your business; that is increasing prices. Many directors, managers and business owners are afraid of this. There is always a reason why you can’t.

Discounting means you have to do more work to make the same amount of money. This session looks at the friction and how to make the changes.

This topic can be delivered as a keynote of 20′ or a half-day seminar.

Compere & MC

You can book me to compere/MC events and present awards.

Previously I was Managing Director of the Prepaid Awards and the Emerging Payments Awards so I know what is needed.

Black tie gala events, in house conferences…they all require attention to detail and should be fun events.
