LIVESTREAM DESCRIPTION:
Digital transformation has accelerated 5 to 10 years in a matter of months, which has created new levels of exponential opportunities to accelerate growth. Going forward, you will either be the disruptor or the disrupted! Unfortunately, most of us see disruption as negative because when an industry, organization, or career is disrupted, you’re forced to react, crisis-manage, put out fires, and make dramatic changes in an effort to keep up and offset the damage caused by the disrupting technology, company, or event. Thanks to Burrus’ award-winning Hard Trend methodology and his proven track record of accurate technology forecasts spanning the past 30+ years, disruptions can be identified long before they disrupt, giving you the opportunity to become a positive disruptor actively shaping the future rather than reacting to it.
