• Spike goes DOWNUNDA for AMPLIFY 2009, AMP’s 3rd Innovation and Thought Leadership Festival, which will again run in Sydney, Australia from 24-26 June 2009.

    AMPLIFY is an initiative born out of the IT@AMP community to engage the whole AMP organisation in conversations about:
    • emerging technologies and trends that are shaping the future,
    • their impact on society at large and our business in particular, and
    • the innovation and long-term growth opportunities that arise as a consequence of these shifts.

    We invite thought leaders, innovators and change agents from around the world to “paint pictures of these scenarios” through a series of TED-style talks, exhibits and demonstrations in our corporate office in Sydney which is transformed into a campus-style learning environment for the Festival. All 3000 employees get an equal opportunity to attend these learning sessions along with our leaders, executives and Board members and key clients and associates.

    Thank you Spike for setting my brains on fire! Lots to think about now…

    Spike, I attended one of your sessions at the AMPLIFY09 event. I’ve been telling everyone about Love 146: I was choking back tears when you were telling the story. I have 2 little girls which makes it even more distressing. I’ve come to your website to find out more information and to send a link to people I know to raise awareness.

    I wanted to ask you what the story was behind your tattoo but didn’t get a chance – so what is the story?
