Chris Griffiths

Chris Griffiths is the CEO of ThinkBuzan and the driver behind the globally popular iMindMap brand of products. Tony Buzan appointed Chris as the CEO, custodian and leader of his entire life's work, entrusting Chris with the responsibility of expanding, developing and revolutionising this whole new era of new thinking.

"For nearly a decade Chris has been my long-term pupil and I now consider Chris the world’s leading expert in combining Mind Mapping with real-world business applications.”

Tony Buzan

Most recently, this powerful duo have collaborated on a book, ‘Mind Maps for Business’, which entered the Top 5 of the Amazon Business Chart, where Chris Griffiths’ input in particular was praised for its pragmatic entrepreneurial appeal. The pair recently formulated a unique and innovative new speaking event which combines both of their exceptional skills and experience to create the ground-breaking and synergetic ThinkBuzan System. The System had its official launch in the prestigious Con Edison Building in New York, and most recently Khartoum, which was delivered by both Tony and Chris leaving the audience motivated and memorised.

Organisations are proclaiming the need to "work smarter" - Chris Griffiths provides a road map of how to do that by combining outstanding thinking skills with advanced technology.”

Bob Urichuck, Author of ‘Disciplined For Life’ and ‘You Are the Author of Your Future’
Chris Griffiths

Personally, Chris has achieved a number of astonishing feats, including being invited personally by King Abdullah II of Jordan to the Petra Nobel conference, where he facilitated brainstorming sessions with over 30 Nobel Prize winners. Under Tony’s direct mentorship, Chris has become the world expert in computer Mind Mapping and the rightful driver of the success of ThinkBuzan.

In the business world, Chris has been described as “one of the great talents which will bloom in the years ahead.” A prodigious talent from an early age, he has amassed over twenty years experience in leading successful technology based businesses, founding his first business at the age of 16 and selling his first company at the age of 25.

Chris is a leading light in the innovation industry and an expert on combining modern brain based thinking strategies, processes and techniques with technology to produce synergistic results. With expertise in both technology and the concept of Mind Mapping and how to apply it to create better processes, Chris is the ideal speaker for organisations and groups who are at the forefront of innovative thinking.

What I like about the way Chris works is that he has a great understanding of how computers work but also how the human mind works - learning how to learn. It is finding this common ground between the two that works so beautifully so I look forward with eagerness to the next chapter...”

Dominic O'Brien, 8 Times World Memory Champion

Companies which Chris has founded have been ranked in the 'Deloitte Fast 50' and 'The Sunday Times / London Stock Exchange Fasttrack 100', and he has also won awards for innovation and creativity. He has lectured to audiences throughout Europe, the Middle East, Far East, Africa and US, on entrepreneurship, the brain, learning and the impact of technology on human thinking.
