Warren Evans
Warren’s corporate career roots are in sales and marketing management. From the late ‘70’s into the early 90’s he built a boutique consulting firm, The Service Excellence® Group Inc., that made its name doing strategy work and change-implementation projects based on their highly respected Service Management models.
Since then he has worked as an independent, focusing on the trends analysis and strategic planning components that were always part of these initiatives.
His trends work revolves around looking at how the major trends are interacting with each other, in an effort to determine how they are most likely to actually play out. Often running against conventional wisdom, this ‘trends blending’ approach has allowed him to correctly call everything from corporate priorities and stock market swings, to real estate values and election results. His client list includes every size and sector (including national economic development entities), and covers 15 countries on 6 continents.
He brings synthesis, pragmatism, and business experience to any discussion.
Warren is also a popular speaker at conferences and corporate meetings.
(he was the third person inducted into the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame)He has held Executive leadership positions in a variety of professional associations, both nationally and internationally, and is the recipient of numerous awards and designations within his industry.
He currently serves as Chair of the Board of Governors of Laura’s Hope, a global research fund accelerating clinical trials for treatments for Huntington’s Disease.
He holds memberships in several professional associations, Rotary and Mensa. In 2003, he was one of 5 recipients worldwide of Toastmasters International’s Communications & Leadership Award (only given to non-members for contributions to business and community).
Warren is based outside of Toronto, Canada.
