Strategic Foresight Architecture

Looking at the future as something to shape, not predict.

I have built a career helping others understand how to leverage technology for business advantage and human advancement.

I lead technology research & advocacy for the global small business platform, Xero, speaking with global audiences about technology, strategy, innovation and the future.

What audiences say

“...pitched perfectly between the wow of what could be with the practicality of what we should be doing. Very engaging and thought provoking.”

“James has a rare talent for making complex ideas feel accessible and relevant, all while keeping the audience energised.”

“Thanks so much for bringing such a fresh way of thinking and helping us to widen our world view.”

“Excellent talk - I felt it stretch my brain!”

“James was incredibly engaging, his presentation style was natural, clear, and captivating without being overly technical or filled with jargon.”
