David Price, OBE, is a global thought leader, learning futurist and author, specialising in how organisations learn, innovate and make themselves fit for the future.
He is a highly sought-after public speaker, entertaining and educating audiences around the world, in business, education and the public sector. His most recent book, OPEN: How We'll Work, Live And Learn In The Future has been an Amazon best-seller since its publication and has recently been translated into Russian.
David is also a highly experienced trainer, having spent 20 years running workshops and masterclasses in people development, organisational learning, innovation strategies, as well as a host of training events for schools, colleges and universities.
In 2009, he was awarded the OBE for services to education, by Her Majesty The Queen.
He consults and advises corporations, governments and education leaders on preparing for future shifts in work, leisure and the digitally connected world. He is passionate about helping people fulfill their true potential, most notably by tackling the global epidemic of disengagement - in the workplace, and in formal education.
As a former professional musician, and a native of Jarrow in the North-East of England, David is used to travelling to find work, spending two-thirds of the year on the road. When he isn't moving, he's to be found in Leeds, in the UK.

“I think with COVID, it's really heightened the need, now that people have to be creative, to make things, whether that's sourdough bread or craft beer, there is something in us, which is now coming to the fore. The really interesting part of it now, partly through necessity because sadly, a lot of people in the UK are losing their jobs and they're thinking, well, what should I do? ... we need to prepare our young people as much to be kind of entrepreneurs.”
“One is how do we create an internal culture for educators so that they feel that they can be creative.Part two is how do we create the right kind of culture and environment for our students so that they feel that it isn't about getting the right answer, but it's about being, being creative and making and producing things.”
