Talks
Trust & Reputation
Businesses want to have strong and long-lasting relationships with their consumers. That relationship is built on trust, but in a post-truth world brands are faced with a serious challenge: so much of modern life is defined by mistrust.
The ‘trust issue’ is a central theme of my best-selling book The Post-Truth Business. My talks on the subject deliver clear insights into the action to be taken to both safeguard and build organisational ‘Reputation Capital’ from the perspectives of being trustworthy, reliable and competent…
Trends & Innovation
Innovation, on which any organisation is so reliant, is becoming more dynamic and challenging than ever. I believe that hyper-relevance, collaboration and sustainability are the crucial foundations of success – encouraging innovation as a catalyst for positive change.
My speeches inspire delegates to boost innovation in their organisations by developing a dynamic ‘always-on’ culture. My talks link to my university lecturing, ongoing consulting, and successful book ’Influencers & Revolutionaries’ which focused on leading-edge / multi-sector innovation.
Hope & Resilience
These are challenging times for us all. The most positive manner in which we can respond is via an ethos based around ‘hope, community and resilience’.
My talks in this area (which link to my podcast The New Abnormal’ which has over 200,000 downloads) focus around philosophical and psychological issues inc: Why hope is a crucial element needed to help us plan for a better future / Why focusing on ‘stronger-together’ community action benefits all concerned / Why using resilience tactics enables individuals & businesses to be ‘anti-fragile’.
Foresight Strategy & Anticipatory Leadership
The World Economic Forum reports that leaders are trying to better understand new business models that will enable them to survive a world permeated by frequent shocks. Leaders have always had to anticipate and embrace change, but today, change is happening in an era of time compression and acceleration.
My futures-speeches focus on Foresight Theory & Anticipatory Leadership. They link to my university lectures and partnership with The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies; and are intended as a call to action for a greater understanding of the role that foresight plays in successful organisations.

Brands are built on trust, but in a post-truth world they're faced with a serious challenge: so much of modern life is defined by mistrust. A shattering of the vital trust connection between brands and consumers, together with the evaporation of authenticity as a core brand pillar, is causing enormous problems for businesses on a global scale. If a brand isn't seen as trustworthy, then when choice is available it will be rejected in favour of one that is.
