Speech Topics

Design for Sustainability

A wide ranging and entertaining look at the role that design of products can lead to radically better solutions. This is about sustainability, and avoiding un-sustainability, about design as a series of "statements of intent". We'll talk about whether we want to do less bad, or do more good, and how design can create amazing emotional connections and at the same time enable a prosperous and rewarding future that will work.

Transition Strategy

An eye-opening introduction to "thinking differently", enabling you to use a methodical, rigorous and engineering-based approach to address your sustainability challenges, to use the creativity of your team and to find innovative, creative, effective ways to adapt your organisation for the future. Without vision and without adaptation most businesses will go out of businesses by 2050. I will show you how to make sure your organisation stays in business, and I will wake up parts of your mind that have been asleep.
