Chasing Fire: connecting foresight to strategy in exponential times
We’re living at a time of multiplying “exponentials” in myriad fields far beyond the digital revolution. The short-term challenge is to master risk anticipation in a manner that allows for effective responses to these exponential challenges. The larger opportunity lies in identifying the leading edge of large-scale changes already passing unnoticed beneath us. Overlook the change and you will be utterly unprepared for the next revolution; understand it and you’ll be in a position to craft a transformative strategy. For finance professionals in general, and capital planners specifically, having this “power” provides an essential tool in gauging the potential risks/rewards of making growth-minded investments … or not making them. This session, featuring one of the leading technology forecasters and futurists, will be sure to intrigue, inspire and influence you as you look ahead to next year and beyond.
Topics included:
- Predicting the arc of new technology in 2023 and its implications for large enterprise
- How to navigate the norms of improbability and impossibility
- How to identify opportunity in uncertainty
- The art of forecasting: navigating interlocking information
- Trends entering 2023 shaping capital allocation priorities
