Bio
Business Futurist focused on The 5 Year Future.
He helps audiences and executives spot, prioritize, and invent What Happens Next™. In your time together, he will lay out:
• Why your future is changing — How social, technological, economic and geopolitical trends are colliding to shape your options.
• What you can do about it — Ways to get two steps ahead.
• How to take meaningful action — The small changes you can take today, this year and over the next three to leverage knowable disruption.
Jonathan was ranked the #1 Futurist in the World by Forbes and “The world’s leading transformation architect” by Harvard Business Review. In his talks, he draws upon his unique experiences as an inventor and intelligence executive. He was the Global Futurist at HP, Lab Chief of invention firms in tech, food and real estate. His firms have created over 325 products, generating over $27 Billion for customers. He is also a board member at one of the world’s largest private intelligence agencies and the only Western Senior Fellow at the HBR China New Growth Institute.
His book, “Rogue Waves,” offers a provocative perspective on how the collision of technology, geopolitical, economic and societal trends will dramatically transform countries, cultures, and industries. Praised by The Economist and Adam Grant, the book also offers a pragmatic framework that helps business leaders thrive amid radical change, and equips them to invent their own futures.
Jonathan shares his insights on global stages, in board rooms, with media brands like ABC, CNBC, Harvard Business Review and TED, at research institutions like Harvard, Duke, CERN and Stanford, and has converted them into strategic growth programs for clients like Verizon, Samsung, and HP.
