“In our uncertain times, leaders who keep their focus on the future will be the ones who prevail." Tom Cheesewright, Future-Proof Your Business

In a change to the regular format, we’re asking members to grab a glass of their favourite tipple and join us for an inspiring and informal evening webinar with applied futurist Tom Cheesewright who, in a 20 minute conversation with digital media entrepreneur Herb Kim, will be extracting some of the positives from the current situation, including the fact that now is the perfect time to rethink and rebuild our organisations.

The session, appropriate to all sizes of business, will explore decision-making, foresight and structure. Tom will also be sharing some of the industry techniques revealed in his new book, Future-Proof Your Business, to help you:

• Scan the near horizon for incoming shocks

• Look to the far future to define long-term strategy

• Accelerate decision-making in your business

• Delegate power to the front line, speeding your response

• Streamline your organisation so it’s agile and can adapt to change


"It has never been more important for business leaders to look to the future. Yet, when we are living through some of the most uncertain times we have ever faced, it can feel daunting to know where to start.”

It’s incredibly hard for any business, let alone micro-businesses, to build in contingencies for the sort of crisis we’re currently experiencing. So what can you do? If the pandemic has left you feeling adrift, this session of practical advice and positive thinking is the perfect antidote.

Tom Cheesewright is one of the UK's leading futurist speakers, commentators and consultants on technology and tomorrow. You’ll have seen and heard him on TV and radio across the BBC, Channel 4, 5 and Sky News. His new book, Future-Proof Your Business launches 14 April on Kindle, shortly followed by audiobook, and in print 30 July.

Herb Kim is a researcher of technologists, innovators, creatives and thought leaders and represents Newcastle University Business School as its current David Goldman Visiting Professor of Innovation & Enterprise. He is also the founder & CEO of Thinking Digital Limited.
