Last year I wrote a speech on The Future of Communication – Communication in the sense of the Communication Industries – which I gave a number of times in Sydney and London. I have pulled this out of my pocket recently when faced with certain questions and the topics have generated some interest. The speech outlined four key themes for the future of communication:

Conversation
Facilitation
Participation
Creation

The full copy is available here so please do with it as you will. As you will see the piece is quite pithy and discursive, but then that is the nature of a speech I guess – you have to hit your points hard when you can’t support them with data visuals and sexy media.

Anyway, I thought it was worth putting it out there, rather than leaving it to gather dust.
