Australia’s Most Controversial Futurist
Richard Neville has been a practising futurist since 1963, when he launched a magazine that widened the boundaries of free speech on two continents. In the 70’s and 80’s, both as an author and a social commentator, his discussions of trends, innovation, consumerism and globalisation reached a mass TV audience. In the 90’s, after extending his platform to public speaking, Richard became a full time,
professional futurist.
Since then, he has delivered over 350 keynote addresses. While his content is widely varied, depending on the needs of clients, his aim is
always the same: to stimulate, alert and inform people about the rapid approach of the future. What are the patterns behind the blur? What are the driving forces of change? How will our lives be affected? Richard looks at work, learning, lifestyle, cities, high tech, the new economics, weather, the seven deadly threats facing the world, and more.
As well as dealing with the perils and promise of what lies ahead,
Richard offers his audience a range of take-away tools for decoding the future. |
