Keith is an expert facilitator, he helps all types of organisations assess, manage and capitalise on the rapidly changing political, social and economic environment. These sessions are excellent for any size organisation, from small businesses to corporations.
Keith always has extensive briefing with clients, and researches and writes a keynote specifically for them and their industry; his keynotes are always relevant and topical to the organisation and audience.
Currently a hot topic, Dr Suter's presentations around climate change are built on three main areas:
1. An explanation of the background to the controversy (he is a member of The Club of the Rome, which was one of the first organisations to raise concern about environmental issues)
2. An assessment of the global risks and opportunities presented by climate change
3. An examination of the options facing Australia (including the business opportunities).
While he agrees that this is a very serious crisis, he does not believe that all is lost and that, on the contrary, it is possible – with enough political and business leadership – to avert disaster.
