Ode 2018 Speaker Showcase: Dom Thurbon

It is rare to find one person who can MC a conference brilliantly, deliver a standing ovation standard keynote as well as run a deeply engaging workshop to embed skills, all on the same day. He can also consult with clients on event design to create profoundly memorable, world-class conferences.

We need to stop 'managing' change ­ and start driving it. We need to design brands that stretch far beyond the status quo to become the obvious choice for consumers and employees. As a global strategy consultant driving change innovation, Dominic Thurbon challenges the implicit assumptions that are running rampant in our lives and our companies.
