Feedback
I have had the pleasure of working with and observe Rocky's work over the last decade. Rocky has always understood the deep impact that technology and innovation have on industries and the way we live and work. He has the ability to translate technological change into insights for business and community leaders. Rocky is both a visionary and a change agent. I have always made time to read his articles and publications. CSIRO

Rocky is a rare breed of futurologist who is able to combine a very strong data-driven approach with an almost intuitive ability to be able to see things that others can't that in many cases are right in front of them. Combine that with a powerful communication style and desire to genuinely help others and you have the perfect storm for being able to accurately predict and ultimately respond quickly to a very fast-changing environment. As someone who is obsessed with contingency planning and crisis management, this is a must-read for anyone who wants to be prepared for the decade ahead. His insights and predictions for the next 10 years have never been more important to be across

Kerwin Rae - CEO

Rocky has a great sense of the trends shaping the future and how they will impact businesses and society. He can then translate that into simple language for anyone to understand and that is where he adds so much value.

David Carter - CEO

I have known Rocky a long time, and whether I am listening to his speeches or reading his research and predictions. I always feel confronted in a good way. Whether you agree with his views or not, he makes you think and think differently!

ANZ

Rocky has a deep, globally-based understanding of the zeitgeist of the moment. He knows what to look for when separating important events from noise. He has an inclusive approach to data gathering and an understanding of current and potential changes in the work environment, especially as they relate to Industry 4.0 and the transformative role 5G networks can play.
