Author or co-author of some 80 books (not counting his children’s stories), he is renowned for both being one of the most innovative thinkers in the field and for making complex topics accessible to a wide spread of audiences. He coined the term ‘simplexity’ to describe the art of making the complex simple but not simplistic. His presentations are characterised by humour (he trained as a stand-up comedian and now chairs the research committee at the London School of Comedy) and by a passion for evidence-based practice that leads him to challenge widely-held assumptions, “HR bling” and superficial consultancy models. David Clutterbuck co-founded the main professional body in coaching and mentoring, now EMCC-Global, and is distinguished research fellow at The Conference Board and a chartered companion of the CIPD. He works with some of the world’s largest companies, helping them to shift from linear thinking to complex, adaptive systems thinking. His current interests include how leaders and coaches can form partnerships with Artificial Intelligence – and a project to create 5 million school-age coaches and mentors globally. *Compiled by London Speaker Bureau, an official representative for David Clutterbuck.

So, what is it that leaders do that adds most value? Based on studies with some of the world’s largest companies, David presents a blueprint for future-fit leadership. ### How to avoid organisational arthritis - keeping your company agile in a VUCA world What stops organisations retaining their youthful vigour? David identifies seven key issues and how to address them. ### Rapid Teaming - how to create new teams that are high performing from day one “Forming, storming, norming… who’s got time for all that… we have to hit the ground running”. David demolishes some of the most common myths about high performing teams and how to create them from scratch ### If you want to improve diversity and inclusion – think systemically Most organisations struggle to create workplaces that release the talent of diverse employees. Leading edge experiments have found a powerful solution – linking people from the top and the bottom in co-learning partnerships that identify systemic barriers to D&I. Pairs come together as a cohort to create solutions that can address these systemic issues from above and below. ### How to become the coach you don’t know you could be Based on the work of the Coach Maturity Research Group, David separates fact from fiction about the journey from beginner coach to mastery. ### How to make the coach-AI partnership work When an AI can do a better job of basic coaching than most coaches, how do coaches stay ahead of the game? The answer a) is to shift from doing coaching to being a coach and b) to learn how to use new technology to augment your coaching practice. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I book David Clutterbuck for a keynote speech?** You can book David Clutterbuck through London Speaker Bureau by submitting the enquiry form on this page or calling our team.
