The National Speakers Association of Australia invited Morris to open a chapter event focused on technology, trends, and the future of connection. Speaking alongside other digital and media leaders, Morris set the tone with a strategic foresight session designed to give professional communicators the context they weren’t yet being offered.

The Australian Market and Social Research Society engaged Morris to deliver a keynote for their national conference during a moment of rapid change and growing uncertainty. The brief was clear this wasn’t just a talk about tools or trends. It was about where the profession was heading and whether it would still matter.

When Diversified Exhibitions needed to showcase the future of retail, they didn’t commission a booth they handed Morris the keys to a pavilion. Retail 2020 became the centrepiece of their national trade exhibition, designed in partnership with multiple retail and trade associations, and built as a fully immersive walk-through of the next decade in shopping.

The Australian Olive Association brought Morris in across multiple conferences to provoke long-term thinking in an industry built on seasonal cycles and generational stewardship. At the National Olive Industry Conference, Morris closed the event with a keynote designed to push the sector beyond grove management and into systems thinking.

The Australian Cotton Conference brought Morris in to keynote its national industry gathering. His session was designed to push growers, supply chain partners, and exporters to look beyond yield and acreage and instead see themselves as critical players in a global food and fibre economy shaped by data, design, and strategic trust.

Apple & Pear Australia Ltd (APAL), together with Summerfruit Australia and the Australian Nashi Growers Association, invited Morris to keynote their combined national industry conference. Morris delivered a strategic foresight keynote that urged growers, marketers, logistics suppliers, and exporters to move beyond incremental change and embrace innovation.

The Jewish National Fund of Australia invited Morris to deliver a keynote for its NSW Business Forum. Morris presented Futurevation: The Future of Business and Beyond as a pro bono gesture, supporting the organisation’s broader mission while providing its community with a clear, actionable view of what’s coming next.

Morris has worked with forward-thinking councils that didn’t just govern they convened. From Brimbank to Ballarat, Kingston to Port Phillip, Dandenong to Caulfield, these were long-form collaborations where local government stepped into the role usually played by peak bodies: bringing together business owners, community leaders, and industry groups to ask what’s next and decide how to meet it.

When KPMG wanted to shake its own consultants out of legacy thinking, they commissioned Morris to design and lead an Innovation Safari—a full-day, high-impact strategic foresight experience tailored for over 200 senior staff. It helped KPMG’s own people rethink where their true value lies — and how to deliver it before disruption arrives.

When Thoughtworks launched their first Australian CxO event, they didn’t want hype. They wanted honesty. They invited Morris to open a private dinner for their top clients and global leaders — not to dazzle, but to de-risk the future. His keynote stripped away the futurism theatre and drilled into leadership lag, invisible friction, and why foresight isn’t prediction — it’s preparation.

Morris has presented to nearly every TEC group in Australia, all of Vistage New Zealand, and select groups in the UK becoming a trusted voice in the room for CEOs, MDs, Chairs, and facilitators alike. Every facilitator who brings Morris in knows they’re not just booking a talk they’re giving their leaders a foresight injection that will ripple forward into eternity.

Morris didn’t just keynote once for the Institute of Management Consultants. He was invited back across a decade to challenge, provoke, and rewire how Australia’s top management consultants think about their own future. He ran the breakout groups, designed the provocations, and led delegates through a full-funnel interrogation of their relevance.

SEEK brought Morris in to work directly with their senior team. In a world where algorithms mediate first impressions, bias is coded into defaults, and career paths are shaped by invisible filters, SEEK wanted to understand its deeper role not just as a job-matching platform, but as a force in how work is understood and experienced.

MNP is one of Canada’s largest and most respected advisory firms and for over a decade, Morris has been embedded inside their world, not just advising clients but helping MNP consultants themselves reimagine what it means to lead. He has helped their senior consultants evolve their own role in a world increasingly shaped by AI, shifting work models, and future-ready strategy.

The Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) brought Morris in twice first for a closed-door leadership foresight workshop in Sydney, and later as a keynote panelist for their Not-for-Profit leadership series. From AI fluency to cross-sector leadership design, Morris gave directors new lenses to evaluate what their organisations and their people need next.

In 2019, Morris was invited to join the Genius 100 Global Visionary Network a group of leaders curated around Einstein’s legacy, designed to shape the long view of humanity, purpose, and progress. The private summit brought together Nobel laureates, NASA leaders, architects of the TED movement, and pioneers from education, space, media, and medicine.

Morris spoke at the CWS Summit where he mapped the trajectory of task-based employment, AI-accelerated platforms, and where trust breaks down when no human’s left to make the call. He showed delegates what comes next when algorithmic systems start shaping careers, not just gigs.

For over six years, Morris served as Resident Futurist to the Australian Israel Chamber of Commerce (WA) not in name only, but in relentless practice. He wasn’t just brought in for keynotes (though he delivered many). He was embedded as a provocateur, strategic compass, innovation interpreter, and future translator for one of Australia’s most influential cross-sector business networks.

iSelect brought Morris in to deliver a keynote to its senior leadership team and investors but it wasn’t about competition or compliance. The session explored how AI, automation, and trust shifts would remake everything from how policies are bought to how clients think about protection, identity, and work-life design.

When Morris was invited to speak at TEDxMelbourne, he gave a talk about humanity and what it takes to stay whole when the world around you keeps rewiring. His talk, Unlearn the Future, became one of the event’s most enduring provocations. In it, Morris didn’t just call for reinvention. He showed what it looks like, live.
