What clients say ‘We have worked with James for a couple of years now and the one thing that stands out is his thorough professionalism in delivering what the client wants. With an unrivalled knowledge of our sector, he is able to bring both academic rigour and real world experience to his presentations, which are always high energy, challenging and slightly edgy in terms of where his thinking takes you.’ Ian Wright, Director of Performance Improvement, Northern Housing Consortium , March 2008 ‘Please accept our deepest gratitude for your participation. You are a brilliant speaker and we have received many spontaneous comments from the audience showing that your performance was highly appreciated. Especially, your speech gave a practical as well as theoretical view. That's a balance that's quite hard to find. Your recipe on forecasting and innovation was certainly something to take back home.’ Marianne Reuterskiold, Director General, The Swedish Marketing Federation, October 2007 ‘James provided a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the relationship between technology and society, which was just what was required to kick off our event on airline IT. He set the scene to enable some open and frank discussions, and provided his experiences and thoughts to the audience in a fresh, vibrant and interactive manner... along with great humour. That stimulated the audience to think from a different perspective. I'd recommend James highly to any organisation.’ Ray Batt, Director of Network Solutions, ARINC Europe, Middle East and Africa, August 2007 ‘Many thanks on behalf of us all for your talk yesterday. The feedback was that as well as being a thoroughly enjoyable session your thoughts and ideas were considered to be "on the button". We were particularly impressed that you'd made the effort to think about our business and actually come up with some specific ideas for us to consider rather than just general stuff.’ Steve Lee, head of customer services, Brixton plc, July 2007 ‘I am most grateful for the presentation you made at the Fund Strategy Investment Summit in St Moritz this month. The success of this Summit, and of the debate you participated in on the future of energy, was due in no small part to you.

It was a great experience, and you made us THINK! I’ll look forward to future collaborations.’ Thomas Lockwood, President, Design Management Institute, Boston, July 2006 ‘Many, many thanks for setting the conference off to such a great start and for contributing to the discussion and debate throughout the day.

There was even talk of crowning you the white wizard of design forecasting! Thank you so much for stimulating the debate.’ David Kester, Chief Executive, Design Council, October 2005 ‘James’s contribution to our 2005 User Conference was both thought-provoking and challenging ...the Interactive Intelligence technology Users from Europe, Middle East and Africa without exception, found his insights into the Consumer experience meaningful and relevant.’ Richard Brown, MD EMEA region, Interactive Intelligence, June 2005 ‘The feedback from your session was great, so I’m glad we managed to persuade you.’ Martin Stewart, Education Projects Officer, Scottish Screen, March 2005 ‘I am most grateful for the job you did at our Global Telecoms Business Summit this week. The success we achieved on the day is due in no small part to the role you played.

It is this energy and enthusiasm that I regard as the key component and the vital ingredient to us achieving success.’ ‘I would just like to say again, how much we enjoyed your talk and the challenges that you posed for us. I hope that we will remain in contact.’ ‘Thanks for your contribution – it was excellent.
