Roger Dennis

Roger Dennis consults in foresight, innovation, and large-scale change. He is based in New Zealand and supports government bodies and companies across Asia, Europe, and Australasia.

Roger was a Senior Fellow (non resident) at the Scowcroft Centre at The Atlantic Council from 2020-2023. He also helped set up Future Agenda, the worlds largest open source foresight programme. Additionally, he co-led the 2007 Shell Technology Futures programme for the GameChanger team in The Hague and co-wrote and edited the book that resulted from the programme. Before this he was at egg, the pioneering European internet bank, where he worked on areas as diverse as the online gaming industry and deploying financial services on smartphones.

Roger is interested in weak signals from the edges that give clues about the future. He likes to discuss why forming strategy without knowing about the future is like pouring coffee without a cup. In addition, he also likes to talk about why a strategy without an innovation capacity is akin to walking very slowly on the same spot.
