As you’ll see in the list below, I do big-picture keynote talks for a wide variety of public and privater sector organisations. I also chair events; and people seem to like the way I do question-and-answer interviews with speakers and panels.
My lectures weave together the three big issues of our time: climate change, strategy, and innovation.
Climate Change - which answers the question, "why do we need to innovate?"
Strategy - or, "where does our company need to be?"
Innovation - or, "how do we get from here, to there?"
If you'd like me speak at or facilitate an event, please contact my agent, Dagmar O'Toole: email: dagmar@speakers.co.uk | Telephone: +44 1753 74 70 00.
The more you can brief me in advance, the better. I like to know: what sorts of people will be in the audience, and how many will come; what their expectations of the event are; and what you would like them to take away.
