Strategist. Futurist. humanist.

Helping purposeful leaders see the bigger picture

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 works with organisations and teams like yours to help people understand what’s going on, and what might happen next. He then helps leaders identify a clear and compelling strategic direction to take them where they want to go. Simon achieves this through a combination of 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 understand the big picture so they can make better decisions today.

Contact Simon to discuss how he can help your people find comfort and clarity in times of uncertainty and change.
