I work with CEOs and leadership teams to define a clear Endgame, work backwards from the future and align their organisations around the conditions that turn bold strategic ambition into exceptional performance.
I’m CEO of The TomorrowToday Strategy Group (TTSG), a global strategy and foresight consultancy, and have worked with senior leaders around the world on strategy, transformation, innovation and the future of business.
Alongside my advisory and keynote work, I contribute to executive education through leading business schools and co-host Elephants in the Boardroom, where we explore the major forces reshaping business and society with CEOs, thinkers and decision-makers.
My work brings together strategic foresight, leadership and The Endgame Strategy to help organisations shape the future rather than simply respond to it.

QUEST: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND THE
ART OF LEADERSHIP IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Dean couldn’t imagine a more audacious image than a snail crossing a busy motorway to grace the cover of his book. As he explains: “That is the very essence of a QUEST! The audacity of hope, the courage to chase a seemingly impossible dream, and the determination to inspire solutions that achieve the unthinkable. In today’s world of exponential technology, what once seemed impossible is now within reach.”
​
Quest dives deep into the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to change the world. Through these inspiring tales, Dean reveals a practical framework that empowers anyone—regardless of their position or organisation—to make bold, transformative contributions that truly “dent the universe.”
​
"Everyone should read QUEST! It gives an empowering and uplifting message backed up with heaps of inspiring stories and data. If you have a chance to join his workshops they are as inspirational as the book" HannaS – 5* Amazon Customer Review
