- Highly engaging futurist who advises leaders on how to thrive in the current era of disruptive technological change, leaving audiences with relevant action plans and ready to take on what’s next.

Mike Walsh is the CEO of "Tomorrow," a global consultancy on designing companies for the 21st century. He advises leaders on how to thrive in the current era of disruptive technological change. A true global nomad, Walsh travels over 300 days a year worldwide, researching trends, collecting innovation case studies, and presenting on the future of business.
Rather than focusing on the distant future, Walsh takes an anthropological approach—scanning the near horizon for emerging technologies and disruptive shifts in consumer behavior, and then translating these into pragmatic plans for business transformation. He is an expert in the human factors behind strategic problems, why they exist, and what it takes to fix them. A prolific writer and commentator, Walsh’s views have appeared in a wide range of international publications including BusinessWeek, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal.
Walsh’s clients include many of the global Fortune 500, and as a sought-after keynote speaker he regularly shares the stage with world leaders and business icons alike. He previously founded Jupiter Research in Australia, and has also held senior strategy roles at News Corporation in the Asia Pacific Region.
Walsh’s bestselling book Futuretainment, published by Phaidon, was the winner of the design award by the Art Director’s Club in New York. His latest book is The Dictionary Of Dangerous Ideas. Each week he interviews provocative thinkers, innovators and troublemakers on his weekly podcast, Between Worlds.

As a futurist, Mike Walsh always has an eye to what is next, new, and necessary. He is an expert advisor on how companies can thrive in the current era of disruptive technological change, offering talks like “The Next Generation,” “Human-Scale Innovation,” and “The New Marketing Model.” What makes Walsh different as a public speaker is his promised element of resonance: resonance is how well your keynote speaker voices the often unarticulated, but most pressing questions foremost in the mind of your audience. In other words, a great speaker doesn’t just tell their story, they take the time to understand yours.
Walsh gets to know his clients by pinpointing the most relevant issues impacting their business. He then crafts a keynote with strategies that actually deliver change. Walsh’s presentations are high-energy and thought-provoking, and will leave audiences with actionable, relevant ideas.
THE NEXT GENERATION
The greatest challenge for any company is not just keeping its current customers happy, but anticipating the needs of its future consumer base. Exposed to a childhood of disruptive technology, your next generation of customers will discover, share and make brand decisions in ways you least expect. But that is only half your challenge.
Generational change in your workplace is also inevitable. Your future co-workers and employees will both test the limits of your management models as well as challenge your traditional beliefs about your company culture.
Will you be ready for them?
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
THE NEW MARKETING MODEL
What will the marketing strategies of the future look like? The modern consumer is more complex, more informed and more in control than ever before. To win their hearts and minds requires new ideas, new tools and a whole new marketing playbook.
With original research, practical evaluations of consumer behavior and case studies from some of the world’s most innovative firms, Mike Walsh's analysis of 21st century marketing will give you the inspiration you need to totally re-imagine your engagement model.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
UNLOCK YOUR HUMAN POTENTIAL
The world’s most innovative companies don’t let culture happen by accident, they code their culture for success. Great culture powers your people to perform at their best.
The secret to "hacking" culture at your company starts with Network Capital, or the social graph of how your employees collaborate to achieve results. Forget the organizational chart. Your future depends on creating a fluid network of motivated and capable people, empowered to re-invent the way they do business.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
RE-IMAGINING IT
The IT strategies that made you successful until now are also the biggest threats to your future. Upgrading your systems is easy. How will you upgrade the DNA of your people?
Yesterday’s IT organization was defined by a "break-fix" mentality. Today, a new era of automation, virtualization and cloud IT service management means that your technology teams must flip from managing risk and downtime, to delivering innovation and enablement. This is a business revolution no CEO can ignore.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
- The 21st century CIO and the traits IT leaders will need to succeed
- Why the Cloud should challenge the way you think about your organizational design
- Aligning IT and business to deliver continuous innovation for your end customers
- How to apply speed, agility and the new lean IT mindset to your technology teams
HUMAN-SCALE INNOVATION
If you want to break the rules in a traditional business, you need patience and a bit of strategy. The best place to start is by learning to think like an anthropologist and exploring how technology impacts us as people. Human-scale innovation happens when we learn from how people actually use our products, regardless of what we intended for them to do.
The world’s most innovative companies apply human-scale thinking in the way they approach everything from product to experience design. You can too.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
- Shanzhai and lessons from China on customer-led innovation
- Anticipating tomorrow’s trends in wearables and human scale technologies
- Unleashing people power, from crowdfunding to crowdsourcing
- Immersion tactics to help your team see the world through their customer’s eyes
GLOBAL BY DESIGN
The future is already here, you just need to know where to look. From disruptive mobile technology from China and India's low-cost business models to next-generation mobile banking in Africa and social consumerism in South America, global innovation is shifting to a new geography.
How we interact, transact and entertain ourselves in the future will be shaped by a billion new consumers from emerging markets. Mike Walsh can deliver you a road map to navigate the growth potential of tomorrow's world.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
- Why the multicultural web of tomorrow will be different from the one we use today
- How the virtual global organizations of the future will compete on supply chain, talent mobility and tax structures
- Understanding the emerging market consumers and their impact on your global growth
- Why every company, regardless of size, should globalize at least one part of its operations
DATA-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP
Big Data, once just the domain of technology professionals, will soon be the number one issue for all business leaders. Tomorrow’s leaders will make better decisions, not from experience, charisma or intuition but through their ability to integrate real-time data into their thinking.
Based on first-hand research, analysis of disruptive strategies and real-world examples from some of the most innovative companies, Mike Walsh shows you why the real revolution is not just about how big your data is, but a mindset change about how data gets used in the enterprise.
DURING HIS PRESENTATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, MIKE SHARES:
- Why the future of smart leadership will be small decisions informed by data
- How to cultivate a management culture of experimentation, risk and feedback loops
- Learning to speak the language of data, and translating insights into stories that inspire change
- Identifying the critical data pivots in your business, the real-time numbers no leader can afford to ignore
The Dictionary Of Dangerous Ideas
The Dictionary Of Dangerous Ideas is a collection of the most challenging concepts facing business leaders at the dawn of the 21st century. At the intersection of emerging technologies and new patterns of human behaviour, the ideas in the Dictionary have been chosen for both their potential to transform the way companies operate, and inspire new forms of thinking.
What makes an idea dangerous is often not so much the idea itself as the troubling questions that it raises. Questions about the nature of reality, authority, society, and the boundaries between truth and heresy.
Global futurist and innovation expert Mike Walsh presents 88 scientific breakthroughs, emerging technologies and disruptive business models—all with the potential to shake the foundations of the world we know.
Each of the ideas are concisely explained in a single page, with references to the latest case studies and research, as well as some useful ‘mind grenade’ questions to prompt further discussion.
Fully illustrated with a custom typographic alphabet and original black and white photographs—The Dictionary of Dangerous Ideas is the essential companion for any leader who wants to understand what it will take to survive and thrive in the near future.
Futuretainment
Over recent years seismic changes have taken place in the structure and direction of the media and entertainment industries.

Mike Walsh has been at the heart of this consumer revolution from its beginning and has been helping some of the world′s leading companies and brands embrace new ideas for the past decade. The 23 insights in Futuretainment reveal how the rise of the Internet, mobile devices, social networking, audience networks, user generated content, ubiquitous networks and the ‘adaptive web’, amongst other advances, has affected the worlds of media and entertainment forever.
Futuretainment is a dynamic visual handbook offering an accessible approach to this complex and evolving subject. It is a must-read for any individual or business that wants to understand how to maximize their position in this new era.
