James Woudhuysen

James Woudhuysen
James Woudhuysen is a journalist and author of several books. Currently Visiting Professor at London South Bank University and previously Professor of Forecasting and Innovation at De Montfort University, Leicester, James has a knack of registering trends before other people, and offering counter-intuitive proposals on what to do about those trends. His diverse contributions span five decades, including helping to install and test Britain’s first computer-controlled car park in 1968; writing about chemical Weapons of Mass Destruction in The Economist, 1978; co-directing Britain's first major study into the future of e-commerce in the 1980s; working for the Henley Centre, Britain's best-known think-tank on EU markets, where he built up the firm's forecasting on the broader future of IT and proposed, in 1992, that the Internet be delivered over TV; reorganised worldwide market intelligence at Philips Consumer Electronics, 1995-7; issuing a devastating critique of America’s dot.com boom, 1999; forecasting today’s obsession with work-life balance in 2000; upholding 3G mobile communications in the face of massive doubts, The Guardian, 2002; and influencing UK government policy in favour of the mass production of housing, 2004. His most recent book, Energise!: A Future for Energy Innovation co-authored with Joe Kaplinsky, is a powerful treatise which, on top of discussing the nature and extent of climate change, analyses humanity's response to it.

James Woudhuysen is on the panel of Plan it Earth: Is there enough resource for all? at European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2016
