Daniel Burrus

Leading Technology Forecaster and Business Strategist


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

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 accurately 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 2,400 keynote speeches to corporations, associations, and professional organizations worldwide.

In his presentations, Mr. Burrus blends timely and provocative knowledge with just the right amount of humor and motivation. He is a master at tailoring his presentations to his audiences as he identifies relevant trends and offers powerful, practical strategies for turning rapid change into a competitive advantage.

His interest in research became apparent in his third year of 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, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, DuPont, AT&T, Toshiba, American Express, Northwestern Mutual, Exxon, and Sara Lee. He has been the subject of a PBS Special and has appeared on programs such as Larry King, Lou Dobbs, CNNfn, and Bloomberg and is quoted in a variety of publications including Fortune, Forbes, and USA Today.

Accelerating Growth

Accelerating growth requires a new way of thinking about overcoming obstacles and acting on new opportunities. All too often, change comes from the outside in, forcing us to react by slipping into a crisis management mode, and putting out fires.
