Tom Morley's biography

At a glance

  • Founder of Instant Teamwork, a musically inspired team-building method
  • Co-founder of Scritti Politti and percussionist for David Bowie and Madness
  • Brings teams together through unique drumming and singing sessions
Tom Morley, known as 'The Rockstar Activator', began his career in the music industry with the 80s band Scritti Politti. Over the years, he has transformed his experiences into stand-up comedy for conference audiences, drawing on 40 years of stage presence. Initially a drummer, Tom later became a frontman for various performance troupes, earning his distinctive nickname. Tom founded Instant Teamwork, a company specialising in teambuilding through activities like drumming and harmony singing. For the past 20 years, he has focused on making the sense of unity from these activities sustainable, bringing a customised set of tools to each session. With a lifelong fascination for the creative process, Tom shares his knowledge of art, rhythm, and harmony. His journey includes playing drums with Scritti Politti in his 20s, songwriting in his 30s, and studying psychology and facilitation in his 40s. In his 50s, he established Instant Teamwork International. Tom's approach is both experienced and humorous, making him equally effective with global boards of directors and local charity groups. His belief in overcoming natural fears to achieve great things has empowered thousands to work together more effectively. His style, honed over the last decade with groups ranging from five to five thousand, sparks curiosity and invites people to step out of their comfort zones. Tom's enjoyment of the creative process encourages others to join him on his journey, expanding their horizons along the way.

Testimonials

Tom got us doing creative stuff that was so off- the-wall we'd never have done it in-house. He's so natural with it though, we just couldn't refuse.

Jason White

Some facilitators you book as one-hit wonders and others you know you'll be partners in change over the coming years. I knew Tom would be in the latter category from our first event together in Vienna. The first of many worldwide.

Paul Culleton

Head of HR, Johnson & Johnson

We'd come up with some new team strap lines. Tom turned them into grooves that we all played. A hundred of us with a hundred drums. I've still got one as a ringtone on my phone a year later.
