Graham Norris is an organisational psychologist, Chief Futurist at CIPS and leadership keynote speaker who helps organisations navigate uncertainty, embrace change and make better decisions about the future.
Through practical frameworks and thought provoking insights, he empowers leaders and teams to turn complexity into clarity and become active creators of change rather than passive recipients of it.
Having spent decades exploring the psychology of change, uncertainty and futures thinking, Graham equips decision makers with the tools needed to think more strategically, act with conviction and build confidence in an unpredictable world.
Graham spent 20 years working in some of Asia’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving markets, holding leadership roles across Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and mainland China. During this time, he advised multinational organisations including adidas, Microsoft, Volkswagen and Novartis, gaining first hand insight into how successful businesses adapt and thrive in times of transformation. His doctoral research focused on change and adaptability among knowledge workers within multinational corporations, further strengthening his expertise in organisational change and leadership.
His TEDx talk, Be More Futurist, has inspired thousands of viewers, while his newsletter, The DIY Futurist, helps leaders develop the foresight needed to prepare for an increasingly uncertain future.
Combining psychological research, strategic foresight and extensive international leadership experience, Graham delivers engaging and practical keynote presentations that help audiences embrace uncertainty, strengthen decision making and develop future focused mindsets. Whether speaking about leadership, artificial intelligence, change or the future of work, he leaves audiences with actionable insights they can apply immediately.
Change is constant, yet many leaders find themselves delaying decisions while waiting for greater certainty. In this thought provoking keynote, Graham explores how leaders can develop the confidence to make bold decisions despite ambiguity.
Combining psychology with practical futurist techniques, he shares tools to help audiences think beyond immediate challenges, create compelling visions for the future, and become proactive drivers of change rather than passive recipients of it.
When teams operate in isolation, collaboration suffers and organisational performance can stall. This practical and energising keynote explores how leaders can align people around a shared purpose, strengthen cross functional collaboration, and connect strategic objectives with day to day actions.
Through Graham’s Vision Pyramid framework, audiences discover how to break down barriers, create meaningful buy in, and unlock greater collective success.
Artificial intelligence is dominating conversations across every sector, but separating genuine opportunity from hype can be challenging. In this engaging session, Graham helps audiences cut through the noise, understand the broader implications of AI, and make more informed strategic decisions.
Drawing on futures thinking and historical patterns of technological disruption, he provides a balanced perspective that replaces uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
The team really appreciated Graham’s engaging style and there was resounding positive feedback, and it was clear the team were immediately reflecting differently on how to think about the future.
Many thanks Graham, really loved your presentation. People were talking about it and the key concepts all evening.
