Mike Walsh works at the interface of technology, new markets and human development to identify a blueprint for the organisation of the 21st Century.

Mike Walsh is the CEO of Tomorrow, a global consultancy on designing companies for the 21st century.

Mike travels over 300 days a year worldwide: researching trends, collecting case studies and presenting on the future of business and leadership.
