Clem Sunter was born in Suffolk, England on the 8th August 1944 and was educated at Winchester College. He went onto Oxford University where he read politics, Philosophy and Economics.

He has been with the Anglo American Corporation since 1966 and is still Chairman of the Anglo American Chairman’s Fund.

Clem is the author of a number of books, which are also the basis of his very entertaining and informative talks.

In his latest book “Games Foxes Play”, Clem shows his audience that business is really a game and if you want to succeed, you must learn your client’s games, as well as your competitor’s! He uses examples from the IT industry that never bothered to find out what their client’s really needed and the fertilizer industry where the farmer’s games have changed dramatically since the “boards” were abolished. Both of these industries would have benefited from learning their customer’s games instead of just assuming that the past would repeat itself. Clem is able to adjust this talk to suit his client’s industry more accurately.

Before this came “The Mind of a Fox: Scenario Planning in Action” which describes how many of the world’s true leaders in politics, business and sport have succeeded by adopting the mental processes typical of the ingenious and resourceful fox! Are these mental processes extraordinary? No. They are perfectly natural, and can be a powerful tool in scenario planning and making important decisions.
