Popular Talks

The World Economic Forum reports that leaders are trying to better understand new business models that’ll enable them to survive a world permeated by frequent shocks. Organisations have always had to anticipate and embrace change, but today these issues can appear increasingly complex, accelerated and chaotic.

My speeches link to many years of brand consulting, university lecturing and ongoing thinktank links. These talks are intended to inspire actionable outcomes from delegates re: identifying ‘opportunity, risk & uncertainty’ spaces, and driving business growth.
