FUTUREVIEW®: A Look Ahead
Recent innovations in science and technology have provided us with a "new set of tools" to work with which will greatly increase our productivity and efficiency in all areas. Knowing what these tools are, and how to apply them creatively, is rapidly becoming a matter of business survival and a key to personal success. This presentation is designed to give you valuable insight into present and future applications of recent advances, enabling you to positively influence your future as you make sound future plans. You will hear solid evidence supporting the view that change is opportunity as you learn how to turn a rapidly changing business environment into a competitive advantage. By learning this new method for integrating strategy, technology and people, you can more effectively shape your future today. "Your view of the future shapes your actions today and your actions today shape your future. Your future view is therefore a power view because you have the power to actively shape your future." "The toolbox of the twenty-first century is already invented. Our greatest opportunity and challenge lie in our willingness to become a twenty-first century professional." -Daniel Burrus
TECHNOTRENDS®:
Using Technology To Go Beyond Your Competition
Competition has never been more difficult or more intense. New technology has the power to alter reality, thus rendering many of our traditional methods of competition ineffective, or even counterproductive. As we create organizations that can respond rapidly to technological advances, we tend to react to change rather than anticipate it. To position yourself and your organization far beyond the competition, it is imperative that you learn to use the new tools of technology to change the rules of the game. This presentation is designed to change the way you think about technology by providing valuable, practical insights that will enable you to turn a rapidly changing business environment into a competitive advantage.
By learning both the "new strategic tools of technology" and a "new set of business rules," you will learn how to anticipate technological change with a higher level of accuracy. Mr. Burrus will offer strategies showing you how to stay ahead of the competition by cultivating your unique creative abilities, thinking beyond your current attitudes, innovating rather than imitating, and making change work for you rather than against you.
"The rapid advance of technology does not depend on economic growth, it will drive it."
"You do not have to know the physics of a telephone in order to use it. You need to know that it exists and creatively apply it to what you are doing."
