Peter de Jager
Bio:
Profiled by many leading publications such as the FT of
London and the NY Times which described him as having "A
talent for simple metaphors and pithy pronouncements"
Peter de Jager is a speaker/writer/consultant on the issues
relating to the Rational Assimilation of the Future. He has
published hundreds of articles on topics ranging from
Problem Solving, Creativity and Change to the impact of
technology on areas such as privacy, security and business.
His articles have appeared in The Washington Post, The Wall
Street Journal, The Futurist and Scientific American.
His monthly schedule is hectic... In addition to
presentations and seminars on the topics above, he writes
about a dozen regular columns. In total, slightly more than
1,000,000 readers have an opportunity to share Peter's
thoughts each month.
Having spoken in more than 34 countries he is recognized
worldwide as an exciting and engaging speaker. His audiences
have included the World Economic Forum, The World Bank and
The Bank for International Settlements.
His presentations use humor to challenge the myths
surrounding our understanding of the Change process and the
benefits of technology. His talks are suitable to both staff
and upper management. His single minded objective, despite
the global nature of some of the issues, is always to
provide actionable solutions and new avenues of approach to
seemingly intractable problems.
His presentations and workshops are highly interactive, fun,
irreverent to mistaken ideas and most distinctively -
provocative. His work forces you to think differently about
things you thought you were already sure you knew. In May,
2001 he was honored by CIPS for his work in Y2K and was
recently appointed as an Associate Director of The Global
Future Forum a Unisys Corporation initiative.
