Where or what is

tomorrow?

How do I/we successfully navigate to

tomorrow?

What am I going to

differently?

WHERE OR WHAT IS TOMORROW?

• 21st Century Multigraphy – no more linear lifecycle pattern

• Flexible work places and flat structures

• “I fear the day that technology WILL surpass our human interactions. The world will have a generation of idiots”

• Augmentation drives learning up to the point when augmentation becomes reality

• “It needs progressiveness to recognise that someone who sits on a beanbag can still be creating value for the company”

• Content is the currency of the future – actually the currencies of the future will be built on BlockChain

• The voice of the customer…. versus Faster Horses - supply will match demand rather than demand matching supply

• Wellbeing and Healthy living – the numbers.

• People are our most precious and scarce resource – if we don’t fix this we won’t have a tomorrow!

• New currencies, contracts and interactions on technology we are behind the curve in understanding

• Low risk business models – will win out

• If we learn from their presentations then we have the answers to their problems

• Strategy: Objectives : Opportunity : Capability

• How can you affect change rather than being effected by it?

• Why spreadbet on a diverse group of strategies?

• Embrace new technology to enable your strategy rather than trying to become a technology company

• Become the best friend of the customer

• Co-innovate and Co-incubate with my suppliers and stakeholders vs

• I don’t give a …. bout cigars, I just like winning - ”Taking the butter off someone’s bread”

• Failure is fetishized

• Investing in tech savvy youth requires new approaches to culture and management

• You can add value on a beanbag - Carparkmentalisation – spritual and emotional management.

• We need to push the future of our planet too – for many reasons!

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

What are you going to do differently?

We hold both the future of our companies but potentially all companies in our hands!

Who gets there first?

Thanks for a great conference..

Safe journeys home
