Digital transformation: Are you ready for exponential change? Futurist Keynote Speaker Gerd Leonhard

Updated Sept 2023: Business as usual is dead. Increasingly, science fiction is becoming science fact. Exponential technologies are rapidly changing our lives and societies, every day, everywhere. We will need different skills, and we will need to get much better at driving change - or we will be driven by it. Most importantly, we should embrace technology but not become it. Anything that can be digitized or automated, will be - and anything that cannot be digitized or automated will become extremely valuable. We must go beyond technology to define real human values in this new digital ecosystem.

Exactly so - truly excellent! Congrats on this contribution: it's the first clip on this subject I came across where I find myself in agreement along every statement during the four minutes. Again, great stuff, thank you.

Excellent video. As an educator, I've grown to understand this fact. However I find it difficult to convince some students, and even colleagues, of the urgency and repercussions of not appreciating this reality and adapting the needed mindset and implementation through action to capitalize on the significant opportunities that these challenges present.

Hi Gerd,

Good video. A fresh new way to tell us that actually everything has change / evolved / transformed than us. Time for us to innovate our ourselves to drive new World rather than to survive in it. Good job man

Thanks
Agustin

einfach großartig. Ich bekomme jedes Mal Gänsehaut, wenn ich es anschaue, weil es die Dinge so fantastisch auf den Punkt bringt, was uns in die Zukunft bringt. Und wie wichtig sogenannte überzeitliche Werte wie Intuition, Kreativität, Emotionen, Vorstellungskraft sind und weiterhin sein werden, um einen guten Weg in die Digitale Transformation und Zukunft zu gehen.

[vasuk]

Gerd! It's energetic beginning to end and not just a video. Very subtle, awesome.

Creativity, Imagination, Intuition, Emotion, Ethics

I used this with a group of 1, 200 executives yesterday. Gerd better articulates the future better than anyone I know. One day I will have a client where I can hire him.

From my poin of view, these digital transformation motivation keys lead to empowers more people to be creative, or in another case it will.be more simple if "creative people has a bigger room to.move in every case"

[kadavy]

Looking at current Covid-19 pandemic - this is relevant for today. Indeed time to focus on Creativity, Imagination, Intuition, Emotion, Ethics

[jlmee]

Excellent presentation, thank you Gerd!

[jean-claudejossart]

An excellent video mixing the imminent technological challenges in terms of their impact on business and highlighting the managerial virtues and the full potential of the human.

[tannerli]

To reach human insights, this is exactly what we need to work on together.

[talentmanagement]

This is a very emotional video that is showing me how important we are as humans and what are the things that only we can do. To go and get yourself ready and work on your skills is very good idea. Thank you for this inspiring and emotional video!!!

'Humanity is where true and last value is created' - the real challenge is to ensure that this value is created for the benefit of all humanity and not just the few.

[corbinwilson]

Great video! Supporting possibilities with positivities! And, energetic

[anagarcia]

wow
now my mind is (I don't have words)
It's more than amazing...

[michaeldziak]

Bravo, Gerd. Good enough is indeed dead. Technology-driven exponential change is already upsetting the workplace. The challenge now is to quickly update, upskill and uplift the workforce to learn new ways of working, abandon old habits, and practice a new workplace paradigm simultaneously with all others in the enterprise.

[tanyawilson]
