Having been a public speaker for many years, I've given talks in the EU, US, Middle East, North Africa, Australia, Russia and Asia.

I’ve given speeches for those inc Asahi, Assoc of MBA’s, Baker McKenzie, BBC, Carrefour, Channel 4, Citycon, Coca-Cola, Contagious, Diageo, DNV GL, Estee Lauder, EU Lotteries, Harrods, Hyper Island, IKEA, John Lewis, KPMG, L’Oreal, Microsoft, MTV, Nokian, Ornua, P&G, Postnord, Quadient, Sistema, TV2, Unilever, Visa, WARC, and Warner Records.

I’ve also spoken at numerous Congresses / Forums / Summits, and at a wide range of agency events along with think-tank gatherings, etc.

I’m really pleased that my article on ‘Challenging Leaders with Foresight’ was featured alongside some great company in this bumper-edition of ‘Compass’ - the official magazine of the Association of Professional Futurists.

My piece naturally referenced Foresight-Driven Innovation, and therefore links to my speeches / workshops on the subject.

This issue addresses an array of big questions that futurists should consider as part of their day-to-day practice, with a number of thought-provoking articles including career lessons by Sohail Inayatullah (whom I interviewed for my podcast ‘The New Abnormal’), commentary by legendary futurist Jim Dator, info on the UN Summit of the Future, and a call for the US to establish an office of strategic foresight...

‘Foresight-Driven Innovation is a dynamic way of developing innovation with impact, which sees innovation positioned where it should be: as a dynamic force for positive and meaningful change...’

(c/o from the latest article for the World Economic Forum from the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, c/o myself and my colleagues Lasse & Martin).

And…by a remarkable coincidence, the article also refers to the ‘Foresight-Driven Innovation’ activity I run for CIFS! For more info please checkout their site: cifs.dk

I’ve also lectured at leading universities (on Foresight / Strategy / Innovation) for over twenty years.

These include Cass Business School, Central St Martins, Chelsea College of Art, London College of Fashion, LSBU Business School, Miami Ad School, Royal College of Art, OMNES/INSEEC, and the University for the Creative Arts.

Last year, Brighton University asked me to start lecturing on Futures, so I’m very pleased to be included as part of their dynamic faculty!

I also run Foresight-Driven Innovation courses, focusing on applying this methodology to projects requiring actionable ‘H2/H2+’ horizon outcomes, along with Megatrend talks/workshops re: ‘Forces of Change’.

(Here’s a video intro to one of my futures talks…)

Re: media appearances, I’ve made these re: both project-specific issues such as discussing a particular brand initiative, or when talking about a cultural / social trend and how this impacts on attitudinal / behavioural change.

I’ve also been quoted by numerous leading media titles in Europe, Asia, the US, Middle East and Africa, regarding my views on a variety of business issues.

The media have inc the BBC (TV & Radio), Sky, CNN, Wall St Journal, Times, Guardian, plus business press inc Contagious, The Drum, Marketing Week, WARC etc.

(And to illustrate the point, here’s a link to me being interviewed by Juliette Foster, the amazing news-anchor, for those inc the BBC, Bloomberg and Sky).

I’ve also chaired & moderated many events, inc interviewing a wide range of other speakers at conferences, webinars, workshops, ideation sessions etc.

This image relates to the #RecoverySummit where I gave a speech, moderated sessions and conducted interviews.

Here’s a link to my interviews with the always dynamic Rahaf Harfoush, Mark Ritson and Howard Yu…

I’ve also spoken at many agency events, regarding industry trends and issues.

This photo was taken at an all-agency event organised by We Are Social, on behalf of Contagious, where I spoke about a manifesto based on ‘Good Business is Good Business’ which links to my first book ‘The Post-Truth Business’.

I’ve occasionally written for Contagious since the magazine (now an empire!) was launched. Their most recent event I attended was their Cannes Lions 2024 roundup.
