David Allison

Top Speaker on Human Values, Human Behavior, Founder of the Valuegraphics Project

  • Speaks on:

Why Book this Speaker: Business has entered into a new economic era.  No longer are we in the Sharing Economy, or the Experience Economy.  We have entered into the Values Economy where decisions are made based on business and personal values.  David Allison is THE go-to leader for this new Values Economy. He has quantified values and created a measurable business metric to guide decisions. His mission is to give what makes us human—our shared values—a seat at every boardroom conference table in the world.

Traveling From: Canada

Fee Range: $20,000 – $30,000

David’s career took off as a copywriter and creative director in advertising agencies. He made campaigns for trucks, hotel rooms, hot dogs, newspaper subscriptions, flights, telephone services, cheese, and lawyers. On the side, he taught marketing courses at the university and passed along what he’d learned so far. 

Eventually, he started a branding company where 40 people built campaigns for hotels, condo towers, resort properties, and office towers around the world. Plus, he was VP of marketing for resorts at Sotheby’s luxury property division. 

Even earlier, from childhood right through his graduate year at school, he created campaigns, secured sponsorships, and attracted media attention for everything from beer gardens to bookstores.  

All of this helped him see that people were behaving in ways that demographics couldn’t define. From his vantage point, the next step was obvious: we needed a better way to understand people. So, in 2015, he launched the Valuegraphics Project, years before the Values Economy emerged in response to the post-COVID world. 

Today, he helps brands like PayPal, the United Nations Foundation, lululemon, and Five Star School Supplies change how they look at people. He speaks on stages around the world. His 2018 best-seller We Are All the Same Age Now was named one of the ten best leadership books of the year by INC Magazine, and his new book The Death of Demographics: Valuegraphic Marketing for a Values-Driven World will be published in November 2022.

CUSTOM KEYNOTE: THE SCIENCE OF MASS INFLUENCE – BREAKTHROUGH DATA TO MOTIVATE (WHOEVER YOU WANT TO REACH)

David builds every custom keynote with one-of-a-kind data about the people you want to engage. You can choose customers, prospects, investors, members, potential employees…whoever your attendees want to motivate most. He delivers the findings in a dynamic TED-style presentation packed with insights that answer the burning question: “How can we influence the people we want to reach?” These insights are the secret weapon used by global brands like lululemon, PayPal, and the United Nations Foundation…and now your audience too.

Based on principles of behavioral science and nearly 750,000 surveys from around the world, David’s firm built the first global inventory of core human values. It’s a complex directory of how people make decisions about everything they do. This database pinpoints the precise values that people share, and David teaches your audience to activate them more powerfully than ever before.

Your attendees will learn:

  • How to use their custom data to create values-driven strategies that resonate deeply
  • How to use the Values Thinking Process to solve problems in a values-focused way
  • How to create buy-in for becoming a values-driven organization
  • What’s in the downloadable toolkit: a takeaway version of their custom research findings

This is an enormous advance in the science of influence – specifically tailored to your situation – that gives everyone in the room a completely unfair competitive advantage over those who stayed away.

 

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE: BOGUS BOOMERS, MYTHICAL MILLENNIALS AND THE ILLUSION OF GEN Z – HOW TO DITCH DEMOGRAPHICS AND DISCOVER YOUR REAL AUDIENCE

David begins this fast-paced and engaging TED-style presentation with a question: at a time when nobody acts their age anymore, why are age-based stereotypes still so prevalent?

Boomers aren’t all bad with technology. Millennials are no more afraid of commitment than anyone else. And Gen Z are not all the same as each other. Age-based profiling is no more than business astrology. In fact, we live in a post-demographic world where surface-level labels like age, gender, income, race, and education only describe what people are, not who they are on the inside, where it counts.

David unpacks the data that proves how demographics are a deficient legacy system that leads to more harm than good. He connects the dots between the demographic profiles we use at work and the stereotypes behind ageism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and more.

Then he shares what he’s learned about people. After conducting 750,000 surveys across 180 countries, he’s seen how much we all have in common. Our core human values unite us. They rise above demographic labels. They are the roadmap for building purpose-driven companies, and a values-driven world.

He concludes with a series of simple takeaway tools:

  • A method everyone can use to find the shared values of the people they want to reach
  • A brainstorming model that leads to values-driven ideas
  • Easy-to-share short stories to help explain the power of shared human values

Everyone sees how simple it is to create products, services and brands that people care about, change the way we look at the world, and disrupt demographics for good.

 

THE FUTURE-PROOF VALUES THINKING WORKSHOP

In this workshop, we show participants how to use their custom research to solve the issues of today, and those that arise tomorrow too. We teach everyone how to use the Values Thinking process to keep their most motivating values at the core of every solution. This is the values-driven roadmap to becoming a purpose-driven brand. It can be delivered live, or as an on-demand online course.

 

THE VALUES-DRIVEN POWER PANEL

We share our research insights with three to five panelists of your choosing in advance of your event. Then we invite them on stage to be part of a lively discussion. This never fails to resonate deeply with the audience – these are their own respected thought-leaders sharing values-driven ideas.

Book coming soon

JUST ONE PERCENT IN: PREPARING FOR THE “FIRST PRODUCTIVITY REVOLUTION”

When you speak with the visionaries, technologists and entrepreneurs building the solutions of tomorrow—from on-demand retail to remote surgery—and ask how far into this new era we are, almost universally the reply is: “only one percent”. For many that is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. What will it mean for your organization?

Insights include:

    • Learning what’s on the horizon and the potential impacts.
    • Moving beyond industrial era mindsets and reframing risk.
    • What makes this moment especially potent.
    • How to prepare when the future is an exponentially moving target.
    • The evolution of societal scaffolding.
    • Why purpose matters more than ever.
    • How work processes are shifting and changing shape.
    • Why purpose matters more than ever.
    • How work processes are shifting and changing shape.

 

2030+ | THE BEYOND ECONOMY + HOW WE CAN ALL BUILD AT BETTER NEXT

    • We are standing at the front end of an astronomical shift in how the world will work. And change will happen fast, with some predicting more than fourteen internet size revolutions in the next decade. As we pull out of a once-in-a-lifetime crisis, both technological advances and mounting societal breakdowns are reshaping what comes next. Can you imagine where we’ll be ten years from now? How about 50?
    • What will happen when:
      • We have increasing global abundance?
      • Everything, everywhere is connected?
      • Demonetization and democratization of legacy models accelerates?
      • We have extended human longevity and health?
      • Super intelligence with brain/computer interfaces is achieved?
      • GDP is replaced with a more accurate measure of economic prosperity?
      • We reprioritize for ecological regeneration and environmental stability?
      • We redesign the future with confidence and care?

 

THE NECESSARY SHIFT FROM LEADERSHIP TO LEADERING

    • Adjusting to a post-COVID world as we advance into a transformative new era can be challenging, especially as structures and tactics put in place to reduce risk in the 20th Century, are now often the very things creating vulnerability in the 21st Century. This moment demands that we shift from thinking of leadership as static, hierarchical and focused on short-term growth, to embracing it as a dynamic, inclusive and constantly learning practice, in order to build long-term value.
    • Key takeaways are:
      • The set of new practices and approaches that 21st Century stewardship demands.
      • How to embrace both change and complexity with greater confidence.
      • Envisioning the future you want to build.
      • Ditching the playbook and navigating with a compass instead.
      • Why preparation not planning is key to future success.
      • How to make peace with paradox.
      • The necessity to rethink risk
      • Change your mindset, change the world.

 

THE NEW ORG “CHART”

  • Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning) is about to hit the long- anticipated exponential curve, radically shifting organizations. The next three years are critical to either becoming an AI-led organization—or risk being taken over as a subsidiary of one—which is why we must prepare now to to make the most of the huge productivity leap coming towards us.
  • • How fast-growing advances in machine learning will revolutionize how business is done… in just the next three years
    • The need to leverage extensive ecosystems as siloes collapse
    • The new talent landscape
    • Why trust is paramount as predictive data analysis provides unprecedented insights
    • The responsibility of navigating the vast opportunities ahead with intention
    • The very human side to tech productivity advances

 

CREATING THE FUTURE YOU WANT TO SEE: (AKA INSPIRING GENERATIONS TO COME)

Witnessing glaring climate crises, environmental degradation, rising inequality and violence, and on-going tech disruption, unprepared youth are experiencing unprecedented levels of depression and anxiety, horrifying rates of suicide, and growing obesity epidemic. Instead of being fearful, how can we prepare and empower them for such a fast moving + continuously unfolding future? How do we inspire a more positive narrative and instill a sense of agency to act, shape and build what’s coming to ensure a safe and thriving future for all?

  • The speed of change + the need to learn “beyond the syllabus”
    • How breakdowns create huge opportunities for breakthroughs
    • Understanding incumbent incentives to scare (vs empower) us
    • The five capacities that prepare us for any future
    • The value of empathy when designing, shaping and creating
    • Why we must put humans at the center of our technological future
    • The need for ethical business models + new approaches to distribute productivity
    • Why NOW matters



THE FORCES SHAPING THE ENTERPRISE OF THE FUTURE

It’s not easy to let go of the playbook we’re all used to, but the future demands we let go of outdated “best practices” and instead learn to sense and respond in real time. Why? Simply put, there are several very big shifts happening simultaneously that are reshaping business and society – that will require equally big shifts in how we respond – especially if we intend to remain relevant in the years ahead. These include:

  • Radically escalating expectations for performance/delivery
    • The calculus of exponential change
    • The growing emphasis on stakeholders (vs only investors)
    • The need for long-term versus short-term thinking
    • Redressing systemic injustice and climate instability
    • A fundamental shift in “talent”

 

THE FUTURE OF WORK + WORKING

Culturally we’ve come to define work as a job we are paid to do. However, it is becoming clear that this is a very limiting definition that distorts our view of what the future really needs and expects ahead. As we imagine a world heavily influenced by exponential technologies, how will our experiences and roles shift? What are the issues and opportunities this will bring when we consider:

• Worker wellbeing
• How to attract the talent of the future
• Becoming an irresistible organization
• Scaling from a culture of efficiency to a culture of learning
• Four scenarios for the future of work
• The important distinction between the future of work and working
• What it means to be status fluid and why it’s so important

THE FUTURE ECONOMY: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Format: 30-45-minute keynote with Q&A

The world is going to see more economic change in the next 5 years than we have seen in the last 100 years. Just when we were getting over the worst of COVID, Russia invaded. The war in the Ukraine is a great example of the speed of change and the disruption that can happen to the global economy. As well, foundational AI, blockchain and co-bots are just a few of the extraordinary tools being leveraged right now to help businesses overcome, adapt and thrive.

Are you aligning yourself for what will occur? Andy literally wrote the book on large, catastrophic events and how they impact our markets, economy and world. As a futurist and economist, Andy dives deep into exploring how innovation, policy changes and societal shifts (war) drive opportunities for clients. He provides context by doing a “where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going” for the economy. He takes the trends super charged by COVID & war, then applies them to your industry via a case study to show where money is flowing.

Are you thinking about how to adapt to the disruptions to run your business better or how you can grow it faster?  How are you challenging yourself with new ideas, new concepts, new technology? Can you understand the economic forces driving change to lead you in transforming your business and adapting your strategy to take control of the future? Andy says, “Let’s explore the economic future by getting you the tools you need to be successful.”

Check out a highlight reel here.

Audience Takeaways:

  • Update on the war, supply chains and the economy
  • Key trends supercharged by the virus and war
  • Case study on your industry’s opportunities for growth

 

FUTURE WORK: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

If the world feels like it’s speeding up, that’s because it is. Technological changes via cloud computing, computer speed and algorithmic modeling are advancing more rapidly than anyone could’ve guessed five years ago. The tumult they will create for the economy and jobs is part of the chaos we can expect going forward. But what are the growth opportunities for those entering the workforce today? How will the reshaping of our economy drive change and demand for new skills? Which jobs will be phased out and which ones will survive? As an economic futurist, Andrew Busch speaks with CEOs and top managers for every business sector as he creates research on the future economy for his clients. From financial services to plastics, Andy gets the inside scoop on what the top business minds consider challenges and future growth opportunities.

Audience takeaways:

  •  What is “foundational AI” and how is it already changing the job market?
  • What jobs will likely survive and what jobs will likely fade away?
  • How will this impact the economy, and will policy changes make a difference?
  • How to prepare today for the rapid shift coming to employment?



2022 US MIDTERM ELECTIONS: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Format: 30-45-minute keynote with Q&A 

Midterm elections will likely bring big changes for US legislation, regulations and economy. There are razor thin Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate. Since 1938, there have only been 2 times a sitting president added seats in a mid-term election. Gridlock is likely, but don’t be fooled by the name as there will be plenty of action in Congress. How will a split Congress impact regulation? Inflation? Fiscal spending? Trade? Supreme Court? Federal Reserve Policy? What will be the Biden legislative strategy for the remaining 2 years of his presidency? How will all this impact the 2024 US Presidential election? Most importantly, how will the elections impact your business? As an economic futurist, Andrew Busch has been in the US government when a power shift occurred and provides his insights into answering all these questions. Most importantly, he gives you an outlook for the growth opportunities coming from these changes for your industry and members.

Audience takeaways:

  •  Outlook for outcome of US House and Senate midterm elections
  • Key policy changes on legislation, trade and regulations impacting your industry
  • Growth opportunities created by the changes and key trends driving the economic future

 

CLIMATE CHANGE: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Format: 30-45-minute keynote with Q&A

Environmental, Social and Governance or ESG is considered one of the hottest topics today for clients, investors and businesses. Andy explains why a Biden victory and the new EU budget has supercharged interest in ESG. He’ll provide context for any audience to understand where we’ve been, where we are and where we are going on ESG and climate change.

Want to know how the recent climate events in Germany, Tennessee and California are creating momentum for faster changes? He covers that. Want to know how rising sea levels and more humidity are impacting supply chains? He covers that. Want to know about the UN climate conference in November that is making an impact now on the economy? He covers that.

And just what is “greenwashing?” Or what is the current state of carbon credits? As a former regulator and CMIO of the CFTC, Andy Busch explains how ESG came about, what the risks are and how ESG trends will impact your industry.

Most importantly, what are the opportunities from these changes? After working for the agency that approved bitcoin, Andy brings a unique perspective to this new and rapidly expanding ESG world.

Audience takeaways:

  • What is ESG and its history
  • What are key risks for ESG investors and regulatory risk for business
  • Why Millennials and the UN climate conference will drive change

BIOGRAPHY

After decades of standing in the fire with leaders of high-performing organizations, Peter Sheahan has come to believe that an organization will only go commercially where its leaders first go personally.

Having grown his own companies by accelerating the growth and transformation for clients that include: Apple; Chick-fil-A; DeBeers; and AT&T — Peter will provoke you to get bigger, by getting better! When leaders are true to their purpose, they gravitate towards doing work that matters and solving higherorder problems. The journey to get there requires that they have the courage to tell themselves the truth, take intelligent risks, and assume ownership for driving the alignment necessary to build an organization which behaves in ways worthy of its leadership position.

In being true to his own ambitions and relentless pursuit of growth, Peter has published seven books, built three global companies and delivered more than 2,500 presentations in 40+ countries. Today he and his team at Karrikins Group are focused exclusively on inspiring leaders to do the hard work required to accelerate growth and transformation.

SPEAKING TOPICS

TURN CHALLENGE INTO OPPORTUNITY AND CHANGE INTO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

2020 was tough. 2021 and 2022 will be harder again. Supply chain constraints, talent and labor shortages, and the continued onslaught of technological disruption are just the beginning. Now more than ever we need to build resilient leaders, agile organizations, and high performing teams – no matter the uncertainty.

 

(Take-aways): 

In this hard-hitting and highly directive keynote, your leaders will learn to:

  1. Increase agility by telling themselves the truth and take ownership in the new reality. There is no going back and there will be no more certainty.
  2. Differentiate between temporary and permanent change and respond accordingly.
  3. Turn a burning platform into a burning ambition that inspires people to continue to give their discretionary effort.
  4. Accelerate change without burning their teams out by eliminating friction and increasing alignment.
  5. Embrace progress over perfection to avoid paralysis as they do their best to manage ambiguity.

ACCELERATING GROWTH THROUGH TRANSFORMATION

To meet growth expectations, we must transform ourselves and our teams at a faster rate than the external environment is changing or else we risk a slow decline into irrelevancy. Given change isn’t slowing down, this is harder to do today than ever before. The path forward is to build organizations and teams capable of risk-taking, letting go of past successes in pursuit of a new, more vibrant future, and successfully navigating the business from one competitive advantage to the next.

 

(Take-aways): 

In this engaging, case-study rich session, we will unlock the keys to accelerated transformation and growth by helping your leaders understand that:

  1. Increasing agility is not about force or more communication, but about compressing the time between awareness of change and acceptance of change.
  2. Creating a burning ambition over a burning platform is the key to sustained investment of their teams’ discretionary effort.
  3. Successful transformation is not a by product of ambition and strategy, but of alignment. Leaders must change first because as goes their behavior so goes the rest of the organization
  4. Culture is a science, not an art and that they must intentionally pull the levers that create a growth-enabled culture defined by innovation, excellence, and accountability.
  5. They must create the psychological safety that encourages risk-taking and helps their teams embrace progress over perfection.

 

WINNING ON VALUE NOT PRICE

As the pace of commoditization accelerates and the emergence of technological disruption threatens our existing business models, we must find ways to remain relevant and differentiated in the hearts and minds of our customers! This inspiring, case-study rich session will show you how to find opportunity in disruption to reverse the downward spiral of commoditization, move beyond the competition, and become the obvious choice for your customers.

 

(Take-aways): 

This journey will require that you:

  1. Move from a mindset of value extraction to one of value creation.
  2. Learn at the edge of disruption and embrace the opportunities for differentiation that exist there.
  3. Frontrun your customers by beating them to the future in the Five Critical Dimensions that they value most during times of rapid change.
  4. Elevate your reputation competing on expertise and positioning yourself as a trusted adviser for your clients.
  5. Act in a way worthy of your desired leadership position rather than race your competitors to the bottom.

The Heart of Business: The Secret and the Science to Influencing and Leading During Times of Transformation

Leadership has always been about one thing: influence. To effectively manage transformation today, leaders must have the understanding and the skill to not only connect with the rational and logical aspects of people’s brains but also have the capacity to reach their hearts in order to understand what ultimately drives human behavior at the deepest level.

As traditional hierarchies are re-examined and leadership becomes less about title, tenure, and time at the organization and more about influence, impact, and connection to their heart, our ability to develop, cultivate, and grow our personal presence and own our capacity to reveal our full selves every single day will become the new mandate for leadership in the modern era.

In this highly interactive deep-dive discussion, Seth will shed light on these questions and add a new perspective to the conversation of leadership today by dissecting the most critical skills and competencies leaders will need to acquire in order to elevate their impact on the teams they’re supporting, the organizations they’re leading, and the communities they live in.

The Human Connection: Harnessing the Power of Belonging to Activate High Performance and Organizational Resiliency

In a world of uncertainty, ambiguity, change, and transformation, leaders today face a stark reality to compete, grow, and scale the business. And while technology supports this evolution, people make it a reality. Specifically, individuals that feel a deep sense of connection and commitment to themselves, their work, and the eco-systems that support them.

What’s possible when environments are created where talent feels safe enough to be free and supported enough to truly belong? When these elements begin to align and experiences unfold, an expansive and abundant future takes shape.

When teams are dispersed and isolated from each other, new systems, processes, skills, and competencies will be required to effectively adapt and evolve to these new environments. The challenges of isolation, social distancing and working from home will give leaders a unique opportunity to create compelling new digital remote work environments that are engaging, participatory, and full of the human connection we deeply value.
