The future belongs to those ready to create it. With minds open enough to discover new possibilities, yet focused enough to have a greater impact on the world around us. Sounds like you? Welcome to Think like a Futurist.

​While business has led many to believe that leadership results are best achieved through analysis, process and measurement alone, great leaders know that’s only half the picture.

That making a real difference requires a new way of leading. Where you inspire others through your vision of the future. Challenging the status quo. Collaborating across boundaries. Turning future possibilities into new realities.

This is not the stuff of Silicon Valley, or funky start-ups with bean-bags and X-box consoles strewn around the office.  

Thinking like a futurist, and actions to create that reality, is emerging as one of the critical skills required for success in business.  

Needless to say, the 'work' of health and safety isn't known for being the most forward-thinking, innovative, or engaging.  But we can become open new ways of thinking and professional practice so we truly positively impact the way work is done - health and safety being one of those outcomes.  

If you want to know how to be relevant in the future, you need to think and act like a futurist.  Get ready to accelerate your performance, and future-proof yourself.  

“Dave is a high energy and thought-provoking futurist. He has an engaging style and is adept at using clear frameworks to help clients become proficient at visioning for future customer needs, innovation and rapid design prototyping. I have had direct experience with Dave’s facilitation at leadership and team days and would not hesitate to do so again.”

You are curious, probably restless, and maybe even a little excitable.   

You are focussed on health and safety as an outcome of work, so have your mind open about how exactly you and your organisation achieve that goal.  

Or at least you have the potential to get there with a little direction, encouragement, and a dose of bravery.  

You think and act like a leader, irrespective of your title or pay grade.  You aren't afraid of hard work, and are ready to reflect on where YOU can improve.  

Your morning will be amongst some of the coolest and most innovative people in the country from start-ups, established businesses, innovators and entrepreneurs.  

Your afternoon will be amongst your professional peers going deep - the backdrop being a focus on improving work health and safety by improving your own professional capability.  

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT IN RED FONT COLOUR I WANT YOU TO SEE:

No one likes going to a party alone.  And change, well that's ALWAYS better when you have a partner-in-crime, a team-mate, a sponsor.  Or maybe you want to develop someone, to give them space and ideas and energy to grow into their better self. 

So bring one of them along, and make your learning experience and what you make happen back at work, so much more effective.  

Your facilitators are: 

“I attended a Safety Institute of Australia conference a few years ago, where I was captivated by Andrew's presentation and following this his name went to the top of my list to present at our internal Probuild Safety Conference in May 2017.  Andrew Facilitated an engaging working group presentation, sharing some 2017 approaches as to how to have a safety conversation.  The visual assets which Andrew used at the presentation were requested by out site managers, many of whom display this at their desk.  Further to the working group, Andrew participated in a thought-provoking panel discussion.  If you want to bring some professional energy to your business event and cut through the corporate mumbo-jumbo language, Andrew is the presenter for you"

“Dave challenged us to move our modes of thinking towards longer-term future possibilities and away from just the obvious and immediate. Dave’s impact on our organisation has been profound. We have aimed to develop a more free-thinking, creative approach to problem-solving and really try to continuously imagine what the future could look like and determine how Bluelab will evolve and thrive in that future state.”
