Buy the presentation ($20)

For some time now I have been speaking at conferences about the challenges surrounding working as part of an in-house team.

Now for the first time, I am making that presentation available online for you to purchase. As part of the package, you will receive…

  • An hour long ‘Fight the System’ video presentation (see the trailer below).
  • A downloadable quicktime version of the presentation that you can watch offline.
  • My presentation in both keynote and Powerpoint format.
  • A PDF of the slides.

This is ideal both for those who haven’t seen the presentation at a conference and those who wish to present the talk themselves to people within their organisation.

You are more than welcome to reuse or edit the presentations in any way you want and present it to anybody within your organisation. All I ask is that you do not resell it.

Buy the Fight the System Presentation Package for $20

For that price, you get all of the presentation tools to give the talk yourself and a video of me giving the presentation. Below is a trailer of the first 10 minutes to give you an idea of quality…

Actionable Insights

Actionable Insights

Paul has the ability to see what is hiding in plain sight. He validated ideas under consideration and provided new, actionable recommendations. The most valuable insight was illustrating how our issues were symptoms of an inefficient UX project team structure.

Genuinely brilliant

Genuinely brilliant

Paul is genuinely brilliant to work with. He’s funny, thoughtful, and really good at meeting you where you are. He matches my energy, communicates clearly, and always seems to know how to say the right thing. Working with him feels easy, constructive, and properly enjoyable.

Demonstrates his prowess

Demonstrates his prowess

As we talk, a pronounced pattern in Boag’s patter becomes apparent: he enthuses about a topic, demonstrates his prowess and then knocks himself down with a swipe of self-deprecation.

Smart & Generous

Smart & Generous

Paul is one of the smartest, most passionate, most generous people I know in the web / online industry. He is truly committed to helping organizations become simpler and more customer-centric.

An inspiration

An inspiration

Paul is an inspiration, I only wish I’d worked with him earlier in my career. His ability to understand and break down problems and offer advice, drawing on his many years of experience is unrivalled. He genuinely wants to get the best out of you and your organisation and you can’t ask for more than that.

Invaluable

Invaluable

Medecins San Frontieres, being a decentralised international association, faces challenges in meeting the needs of a diverse global audience. Paul and the team at Headscape have been invaluable in helping us see the potential of digital for doing this. They have helped us recognize the changes needed to engage with our connected audiences, bringing clarity and innovation to our digital strategy.

Supportive and Challenging

Supportive and Challenging

It’s been a pleasure working with Paul. He manages to be both supportive and challenging at the same time and has a very accessible approach. It’s been a really inspiring process and I would love the opportunity to work with him again.

Entertainingly Informative

Entertainingly Informative

We can count on Paul to be entertainingly informative. When we bring him to speak at our workshops, people walk out of the session energized and with a better understanding of how a multichannel journey should be assessed and optimized. Thanks Paul!

Moves the Needle

It’s not a question of whether I’d work with Paul again, but what we’re doing next. He takes the time to deeply understand your business and goals, then moves the needle across the growth levers that matter most.
