LIVESTREAM DESCRIPTION:
The exponential pace of technology-driven change has been accelerated by as much as 10 years over the last 18 months, advancing several Megatrends that are already in the process of changing every industry and business model we know. These Megatrends will continue to accelerate, creating more opportunity, as well as more potential disruptions, than any other time in history. Thanks to Daniel 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 driving transformational change and actively shaping the future rather than reacting to it.
