business model evolution

Durable innovation and business model evolution cannot happen without an alignment of how we see the world and how the world actually is.

Neil leads the design and development of holistically integrated digital-physical ecosystems for companies across the Retail, Enterprise, Shipping & Logistics, and other sectors.

near futurism

Futurism can be inspiring, motivating, and informative — and yet it is rarely actionable.

While Neil values the work of futurists highly and leverages it in his work, as the Near Futurist his laser focus is on emerging technologies that are ready for business and cultural impact today.

The Ecosystem Paradigm

How Seeing The World Differently Will Unlock Our Thriving, Abundant Future

Audiences: Business audiences / Executive leadership / Technology companies / Immersive industry audiences / Leaders across all industries and sectors

Our model of the world doesn't match the reality of the world. This is why we often find the future mystifying, we struggle unnecessarily, and are continually surprised when disruption occurs.

What if we learned to see the world differently?

In this inspiring and paradigm-shifting talk, Innovation Architect and Near Futurist Neil Redding shares how seeing the world through the lens of connected ecosystems is the critical unlock — for sustainable business growth into the emerging future, for solving humanity's greatest challenges, and for uncovering insights that transform the way we serve our customers and build new worlds.

Using research, stories, client successes and simple contextual models, your audience will learn the tools and practice of Near Futurism — combining a focus on the coming 3-5 years with a deep understanding of how ecosystems of all kinds work, evolve and thrive. And their businesses will reap the outsized benefits.
