Once Upon a Time business as usual was often good enough no more where we are going good enough is dead in a world where everything is connected where everything is equally excellent where performance is reaching Perfection there's only one space left to innovate in you right now you are a central point in the Raging tornado of change fueled by digitization mobilization augmentation dis intermediation automation well the list goes on science fiction is becoming science fact think about self-driving cars or computers that can learn and think the way we work will never be the same the
skills we need will be dramatically different winning or losing are now happening fast than ever before so what's your response how will you discover new opportunities in one of the most transformational times in human history are you driving change or are you being driven by it disruption has become The New Normal with change it's always gradually then suddenly well things really have stopped happening gradually this change is exponential if it's that used to be dumb and disconnected is now wired and intelligent cars cities ports Farms even our bodies will be wired with sensors and will
talk to each other these game changers are also combinatorial they amplify each other creating a perfect storm of change Quantum Computing fuels Big Data The Internet of Things fuels artificial intelligence and deep learning which Fields robotics however anything that cannot not be digitized or automated will become extremely valuable human only traits such as creativity imagination intuition emotion and ethics will be even more important in the future because machines are very good at simulating but not at being yes robots and software will do some of our work but this will allow us to focus on things
that cannot be automated to imagine change squared you've got to start engaging more with what might be not just with what is immerse yourself in the immediate future 5 to 7 years out from today we need to go beyond technology and data to reach human insights and wisdom technology represents the how of change but humans represent the why the future is about holistic business model the opportunity is to be liquid to learn just in time not just in case not single improvements but complete Transformations not individual systems but new ecosystems humanity is where true and
Lasting value is created we will engage late and buy things because of the experiences they provide because of their transformative power the future doesn't just happen the future gets happened the new way to work is to embrace technology but not to become it the future is in technology yet the bigger future lies in transcending it let's live and lead from here [Music] [Applause]
