Daniel Burrus – Futurist

May 22010

Daniel Burrus is one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and business strategists, and is the author of six books, including the highly acclaimed Technotrends, which has been translated into over a dozen languages.

In 1983, Burrus was the first and only futurist to accurately identify the twenty technologies that would drive two decades of revolutionary change. Since then, he has established a worldwide reputation for his exceptional record of predicting the future of technological change and its direct impact on the business world. He has helped hundreds of clients develop successful competitive strategies based on the creative application of leading-edge technologies, and has delivered over 2,000 keynote speeches to corporations, associations, and professional organizations worldwide.

The New York Times has referred to Daniel Burrus as “one of America’s top three business gurus in the highest demand as a speaker.”

Burrus began his career in research even before graduating from college when he became one of the first undergraduates in the nation to direct a federal research grant. He has founded and managed five businesses, two of which were national leaders in their first year. As a highly successful entrepreneur, he knows how to translate research findings into practical business advantages.

Burrus’ client list encompasses a wide range of industries and includes many Fortune 500 companies such as GE, Lucent Technologies, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, DuPont, AT&T, Toshiba, American Express, Northwestern Mutual, Bell Atlantic, Exxon, and Sara Lee
