Richard Noble Biography

Against a background of today's low risk culture, Richard specialises in developing high risk ventures. Obviously not all of them can be successful, but the Thrust2 project which brought the World Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 and the ThrustSSC 's first ever supersonic Land Speed Record, in 1997, are the best known. Other projects have included: the ARV Super2 light aircraft, the Atlantic Sprinter Blue Riband contender, Programme Funding - an experimental television programme funding company, and the Farnborough Aircraft, which is currently in the process of creating the first point to point commercial high speed taxi aircraft. The projects have always tended to be innovative and that puts them against the odds and against the commercial funding system, which will always favour the conventional, as a result funding has always been difficult challenge. However, Richard's continuing determination and tactics as well as having a dedicated team, have allowed him raise funds in many different ways in order for these projects to come to fruition. This initself makes for a fascinating story. As a conference and after-dinner speaker for the last 20 years, Richard focuses on the huge problems of trying to innovate in Britain and how these problems can be overcome with outstanding and highly motivated teamwork. The presentations are illustrated with spectacular video and the inevitable humour from the incredible situations which occured.

Richard Noble Speaking Topics

  • The Flat Company.

    Although the working principles in having a flat company developed as early as the Thrust2 program, it wasn’t until the ThrustSSC project was faced with total failure of corporate sponsorship and the challenge from McLaren and the Americans that the company was configured as a flat company in order to provide the very high levels of individual performance and corporate agility needed to beat the well funded opposition.

    The flat company structure is designed to totally replace the old traditional hierarchical structure and is configured to ensure maximum contribution from the Ego and Self Actualization personal motivators as defined by Abraham Maslow • the same motivators which Maslow stated are seldom more than 10% satisfied in traditional companies. The successful flat company depends very much on a rejection of the old hierarchical principles and replacement with very high standards of teamwork with enhanced communication innovation integrity and decision making skills from the team members. Key to holding the teams together is the Group Dynamics team working principles which tend to be the exact opposite of those practiced in the traditional confrontational hierarchical company.

  • The essential will to win through to success and the extraordinary levels of risk, stress pressure and struggle of the latest counter culture program.

    As one might expect, the projects tend to operate some way ahead of conventional corporate change • being dependent on the need for very high levels of individual performance and funded with minimal finance. Every step forward requires the winning of a serious battle and considerable courage from the companies and partners involved • as well as new levels of skill and motivation from the team members. Potential for total project failure is seldom more than a couple of weeks ahead, such is the price exacted for developing disruptive technologies.
