Garrick Jones is a co-founder and partner at the Ludic Group, as well as an academic, entrepreneur and musician. A Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science, he is known for pioneering work in digital transformation, organisational learning and innovation strategy.
With a background spanning business, education and the arts, Garrick brings a unique perspective to the challenges of modern organisations. At LSE, he introduced Capstone programmes and created the Open Innovation Programme, aimed at equipping students with real-world problem-solving tools. His academic research focuses on creative economies and large-scale systems that enable transformation in commerce, education, government and culture.
At the Ludic Group, he helps global organisations and institutions design new ways of working and learning, often across vast networks and time zones. His work is rooted in the design process and supported by visualisation tools that enable collaborative decision-making.
Garrick has also been instrumental in the development of digital learning programmes, cloud-based consulting models and purpose-built collaborative environments, helping institutions and governments move towards more agile, engaged and scalable systems. He has advised Fortune 100 companies, international governments and global organisations, including the UN and UNDP. His ability to work at scale—translating complex challenges into actionable strategies—has made him a trusted partner in transformation initiatives across sectors.
Alongside his academic and business roles, Garrick is an accomplished composer, writing music for film, contemporary art and performance. This creative background informs his approach to systems thinking, engagement and the role of curiosity in learning.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
