Future-proof Your Child

Graeme studied a BComm at WITS, while doing Chartered Accountancy articles with KPMG. While doing articles and solutions development, Graeme became interested in understanding the so-called “generation gap” – why young people found it so easy to enter the “new economy” and handle technology, while experienced adults could not – and why adults were sceptical, cynical and even hostile. In order to gain some theoretical insights, Graeme turned to the academic study of young people and human interactions. He completed a Bachelor of Theology (Arts) degree (cum laude from University of Zululand), a Licentiate (Honours) (Youth) (cum laude from BTC Southern Africa), and a Masters in Youth Work (cum laude MDiac, from UNISA). He is currently completing his PhD in Business Administration (DBA), with majors in leadership, future studies and international strategy consulting. Graeme works in a wide range of industries as a consultant, presenter and futurist. He does this with two partners, working in a “frameworking” consultancy known as TomorrowToday.biz. He has co-authored three books with Penguin: Mind Over Money in 2002, Mind The Gap in 2004 and Future Proof Your Child in 2008.
