Gerd Leonard Keynote Talks
Gerd Leonhard – The Beyond Corona Future: what to expect in the next 3-5 years: Our world is being painfully but irreversibly rebooted by the Covid19 crisis – and we are not ‘going back to normal’. To many of us, this crisis may feel quite devastating but I think it also creates a very unique opportunity for what I call ‘The Great Transformation‘. This keynote (usually held remotely) addresses topics such as:
What have we learned from this crisis?
- The economic and business impact: the future of jobs, work, commerce and trade
- The geopolitical impact: Europe, the U.S. and China – new power structures? De-Globalisation?
- The future of capitalism: stakeholder value over shareholder value: finally, a sustainable capitalism?
- The environmental impact: how will this crisis impact climate-change action? How real is the ‘end of oil‘?
- The impact on medical & healthcare: entering warp-drive
- The societal impact: is technological domination and permanent surveillance next?
- The personal impact: fears and hopes, solidarity vs. opportunism, resilience vs desperation
- The impact on investing: where will the money go?
- The impact on education, learning and universities (and leadership)
- As you may have guessed, this keynote is usually held virtually i.e. as a digital keynote
Below is an excerpt from one of Gerd Leonhards’ virtual talks…
.
Gerd Leonhard – Technology VS Humanity: In this groundbreaking new talk based on his book, Gerd addresses the “future shocks” that lie in wait for humanity as it tumbles into a world of Big Data / Tech / AI dominance. This impactful presentation at the intersection of technology and ethics will engage your audience way beyond their daily concerns, and challenge the very core of being human – our shared values, believes and desire for happiness.
This talk is an always-evolving continuation of Gerd’s best-selling new book, and explores the coming clash of machine and mankind in detail – one that will make all other ‘industrial revolutions’ seem like kindergarten. This is a classic keynote engagement for public events, large audiences spanning all corporate divisions and borders, as well as for executive client conferences.
Technology is evolving exponentially, changing our world at a mind-boggling pace. Data is indeed the new oil, and AI is the new electricity. Science fiction is increasingly becoming science fact as we are entering the age of cognitive computing, thinking machines and AI, augmented and virtual reality, the Internet of Things, deep learning, bots and intelligent digital assistants. Will this be heaven or will this be hell? One thing is certain: The next 20 years will bring more changes than the previous 300 years.
