Dion Chang

Dion Chang will make you think differently. He is a professional cage rattler, a strategic thinker, a keynote speaker, and a walking ideas bank. He is one of South Africa’s most respected trend analysts and founder of Flux Trends which takes the unique view of “trends as business strategy”. Flux Trends specialises in identifying unexpected business opportunities within shifting trends, and specifically the impact of disruptive technologies across all industries, ensuring that global trends have relevance when translated for African, and South African businesses.

Dion is passionate about assisting companies to embrace change and embedding a culture of innovation into corporate operating systems. Businesses facing change and struggling to adapt to a new world order turn to him to help them navigate the complex terrain.

These qualities serve him well in the new role he has added to his portfolio, that of ‘an end-of-life companion doula’. As such he will provide the terminally ill and their families with support, guidance and companionship. This new role aligns with his business practice. After all, end-of-life is not necessarily about physical death but the death of old ideas and the birth of new ones. For businesses struggling to re-invent themselves, Dion will help identify the blind spots and ask the difficult and uncomfortable questions that growth requires.
