270,000 have watched this leadership keynote to live audience of 4500 executives

I have listened to a huge number of CEO speeches over the years to their global teams at major events, and there is often a problem.

The same for Finance Directors. I was once about to start a leadership programme at one of the world's best known Business Schools and the session immediately before me, to introduce the week, was led by the Finance Director. Just before he entered the room, we had 40 highly energised, highly motivated people, bursting with energy, ideas, initiative and passion.

As that Finance Director began to speak, the energy drained right out of the room. Within a couple of minutes he had lost the audience, many of whom were doing things like emails, WhatsApping friends or researching their next holiday online. It was awful and embarrassing....

So here's another approach in the video above. It's an unscripted 3 minute piece I did without any rehearsals, quite spontaneously, in the middle of a one hour keynote to 4,500 people on how to create highly engaging corporate events. Just to make a point. Tailored for an imaginary global Insurance company - that industry is often attacked in the media by customers for being slow in paying their claims, and fast in making profits.

10 steps to Agile Leadership in a Crisis. Keys to Agile Business Strategy in uncertain times: Turn market chaos into opportunity. Take Hold of Your Future. Leadership keynote speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

How to lead in times of crisis - turning chaos into opportunity. Here are keys to agile leadership.

I have been teaching for over a decade how speed of change will be a huge challenge for all leaders and will demand Agile Leadership.

Strategies of large corporations risk being overtaken by events. Never has this been more true than in the last couple of years with COVID, Russian invasion of Ukraine and other major disruptions. Your world can change faster than you can hold a board meeting - and I'm not just talking about political changes, energy crises, civil conflicts, trade wars or mutant viruses.

Every large business contains hundreds of potential Wild Card risks - each of which may be very unlikely, but the combined risks can be huge - with very high probability of disruption from one event or another in any year. That's why we will see growing emphasis on Leadership Agility, Dynamic Strategy, back-up plans and Adaptive Risk Management.

Importance of Purpose in Business. How to Lead with Purpose. How strong purpose drives rapid change. Why every business needs to show how it makes the world a better place for all. Workplace motivation beyond COVID. Purpose driven business keynote speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

Keynote on leadership - inspire your teams, media, shareholders, customers - 4,500 executives

Corporate Purpose is rapidly becoming a Number One survival issue for business.

I'm not talking here about "responsible business", ESG, ticking compliance boxes for the environment, or improving diversity at work, or improving customer service.

All those are important and more, but I'm talking about far beyond such things.

I mean nothing less than a revolution in workplace motivation, customer expectations, and how business works: major impact on vision, mission and strategy.

As a Futurist, I have worked with over 400 of the world's largest corporations, often at board level or with global leadership teams, helping them stay ahead of the future.

I've a proven track record in forecasting major trends across every industry for over 25 years: but the future also depends on decisions we make.

I've delivered over 1000 trends keynotes to audience of up to 800,000 a time (including webinars).

Indeed, I warned of the risks from new viral pandemics for years before COVID struck, and have since been helping global clients adjust through the crisis.

I often say this:

Take hold of the future or the future will take hold of you.

How to predict life in the year 2100. New edition of The Future of Almost Everything book coming soon. Keys to very long term trends based on my Futurist keynotes for 400 large corporations over 25 years. VIDEO and POST

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

My job is to live in the future and to see tomorrow as history.

NOTE: book now published!

I'm working on a new edition of The Future of Almost Everything book - which will contain a chapter on life in 2100, looking at key trends for the next 20 years, in the light of what happened from 2090 to 2100...

Forecasting 80 years ahead might seem an impossible thing to do.

So what happens if you live for a while in 2100 and return to tell the story, to make comparisons? In what ways are you most "culture shocked" and why?

It is easy to assume that life will continue to change at frenetic pace, and that many things will be almost unrecognisable by 2100, but will that really turn out to be true?

Winston Churchill once said that if you want to understand the future, look at history.

80 years ago, in 1948 was in many ways a very different world - with rapid reconstruction in Europe after the Second World War. Yet more things have endured than we might think....

Just published - my AudioBook of The Future of Almost Everything. Click here to listen to a sample. Download entire AudioBook from Audible for free! I recorded the entire book myself: every key message I have given recently to CEOs and business leaders around the world, from every industry, and in every region, about urgent issues, challenges and opportunities facing us in the next 20-50 years.

All large businesses get hit by crises on a regular basis. It is a fact of life. And the larger the organisation, the more frequently they happen. Every employee is an ethical risk of some kind. Every business unit contains perhaps hundreds of risks. Combinations of risks are far more common than most people imagine. Risk management means taking steps to reduce impact of future events, contingency planning, thinking ahead. A crisis provides an ideal opportunity to re-focus on what you are doing across the busines. Here are 16 steps to take when crisis occurs…
