Strategist. Futurist. humanist.
Because the future is decided today
Simon did a brilliant job of finding the balance between challenging and reassuring us, enabling us to be comfortable with being uncomfortable – to rise to the task of leadership in times of high uncertainty.
Simon helps organisations and teams like yours understand what’s going on (and what might happen next) so they can identify a clear and compelling strategic direction. He does this through thought provoking keynotes, practical workshops and longer term strategic engagements.
Simon’s approach, which has been described as ‘practical futurism’, has been refined through nearly two decades of experience in scenario planning and strategy development for major Australian organisations. His programs equip people with the skills to explore and understand possible futures so they can make better decisions in the present.
In organisations that are powerful enough to move mountains, Simon supports leaders to use their power thoughtfully.
