Know What’s Next: Leveraging The New Science of Certainty

Lead with certainty in an uncertain world—learn how to anticipate change and seize the opportunities it brings.

Keynote Description:

Strategies based on uncertainty have high risk. Strategies based on certainty have low risk and high reward. When employees have high levels of certainty, they have the confidence to make bold moves. When a potential customer has high certainty, getting them to say “yes” is much easier. In a world where change is constant, certainty is a rare and invaluable asset.

In this eye-opening and highly motivating keynote, Daniel Burrus shares the most important trends shaping the future and the opportunities they provide. By learning to separate the Hard Trends that will happen from the Soft Trends that might happen, leaders can accurately anticipate technology-driven disruptions before they occur—turning disruption into a choice. They can identify problems before they happen, allowing them to pre-solve those issues, understand customers’ needs before they express them, and recognize game-changing opportunities before the competition does.

This simple yet powerful methodology empowers leaders to leverage the science of certainty, transforming predictable technology-driven trends into strategic advantages.
