Charles L. Irvine - Conceptual Futurist

is an inspirational speaker, special advisor, provocateur and visionary behind Conceptual Futurism.

Charles L. Irvine

His affirmatively disruptive strategies have transformed the landscape of thinking for Governments, Boards, and Executive Teams on the global stage.

Growing up in South Africa at the height of apartheid galvanised and set Charles on a path of exploration from an early age…

A relentless fascination – How can futures be reimagined?

How can mindsets that are so anchored to preconceived barriers be set free?

How can we release the shackles that suffocate ideas and stifle our ability to dream?

Fundamentally - how can the World be made better and its energy used as a force for good?

Charles has gone on to establish a formidable reputation for working dynamically with senior leaders across 24 countries to bring into focus unique and often unconventional thinking that defines strategy.

There is no one better placed to make the seemingly impossible

possible.

Challenge

Dream

Transform

Is the essence of Conceptual Futurism. It’s an approach that goes way beyond predictive modelling into a future free from the limitations of today’s thinking - it’s a seismic shift in attitude, a thirst for ground-breaking change, delivering a strategy for the future sculpted by you.

Charles has developed a suite of conceptual frameworks and tools that enlighten leaders to jettison pre-defined mindsets and journey to a place where the possible can be re-envisaged, and strategies are primed to soar.

Visualise a bold new direction for your business. Embrace a mindset that surpasses and goes beyond predictions into a future without limitations, constraints or boundaries. Why grapple with the infinite complexities of predictive modelling when you have the power to shape it?
