Dave is obsessed with creativity – what it is, its role in history and what makes some people better at coming up with ideas than others. It’s at the core of everything he does, and he’s hellbent on using these understandings to help everyone improve their thinking.
Using simplicity and humour, Dave captivates audiences with pragmatic advice and tangible techniques on how to tap into everyone’s creativity, apply it to benefit a broad range of disciplines, and unlock competitive advantage for any organisation. His methodologies, frameworks and practical exercises have helped to accelerate innovation and idea generation worldwide.
Dave spent years in advertising and his experience spans many industries, such as publishing, finance, education, government, broadcasting, technology, FMCG, and marketing. He tailors each talk he gives, aiming to challenge audiences with plain truths rather than tell them what they already know.
He has authored several books on creativity and innovation. His latest best-seller: is the perfect accompaniment to his masterclasses where Dave shows teams how to apply his brilliant thinking system. He has also created a slew of courses for LinkedInLearning, with his most recent offerings focused on leveraging generative AI (like ChatGPT) for real benefit, and finding the perfect combination of human creativity and technology partnerships.
Dave is one of only a handful of speakers who have truly embraced the potential of virtual presentations, delivering fast-paced, fun and impactful sessions onscreen… all while teaching others to do the same!
