LIVESTREAM DESCRIPTION:
Every business and every industry is like a deer looking into the headlights of a new rapid level of technology-driven disruption. Unlike the recent past, the speed and depth of this rapidly approaching disruption is moving far faster and will be far more profound. Reacting as quickly as you can, no matter how agile you are, will no longer be good enough.
Thanks to Burrus’ award-winning Hard Trend methodology and his proven track record of accurate technology forecasts spanning the past 30+ years, disruptive changes can be identified long before they disrupt, giving you the opportunity to become a positive disruptor, creating the transformational changes that need to happen as you actively shape the future rather than react to it.
