I’m a consultant who’s specialised in foresight / strategy / innovation for 20+ years. I’m also an author & public speaker, with a focus on:

• Scenario Planning

• Foresight-Driven Innovation

• Politics, Philosophy and Business

I see curiosity as a competitive advantage and aim to help organisations identify future risks and leverage potential opportunities. Re: my background, after a decade with cutting-edge agencies, I co-founded The Future Laboratory then launched my independent consultancy Brand Positive. I’ve worked on int’l projects in the EU, MENA, Asia, Russia & US for a wide range of clients across numerous sectors.

I’ve given ‘Now-Next-Why’ speeches at events from L.A. to Tokyo & Helsinki to Melbourne, and have lectured at universities for over a decade. My first book ‘The Post-Truth Business’’ went to No1 in the ‘Business Bestseller’ charts, and I then wrote ‘Influencers & Revolutionaries’ that was shortlisted for the ‘Business Book of the Year’ Awards. My podcast ‘The New Abnormal’ has over 250,000 downloads.

I’m also UK Assoc Partner for the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (having liaised with them for many years), an NGO renowned for ‘applied thought-leadership’ re: scenario planning, risk analysis, innovation inspiration & strategy development. I assist their clients by conducting futures research, along with giving speeches and running courses to help organisations become ‘futures-ready’.
