SIMON WALLER
A Futurist. For humans.
Futurist,KEYNOTE SPEAKER and business advisor.
As a futurist, I help individuals and organisations find better answers to their biggest problems.
Futurism is not just about wowing audiences with the latest selfie drone or Wi-Fi-connected suitcase. More than anything, futurism is an opportunity to connect with people through visions of the future and in doing so, empower them to make smarter decisions in the present.
Having worked as a corporate futurist, I am acutely aware of the challenges faced within organisations. However, I also know that we can give people the clarity and the capacity, an environment of uncertainty also provides fertile ground for innovation and opportunities to emerge.
This is what lies at the heart of great futures work: giving people the clarity to see what’s coming and the capacity to enact change. Whether it is a keynote presentation to inspire an audience, a workshop to build future thinking skills, or a set of scenarios to identify new strategic options, my goal is to give people the knowledge and resources they need to make better business decisions.
If you are an event organiser seeking a captivating keynote for your next event, a senior leader looking to provide your teams with a practical training workshop, or even if you stumbled upon this site entirely by accident, I invite you to read on.
