Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

Die Zukunft ist kein Zeitraum mehr - sie ist eine DENKWEISE. Wir müssen jetzt sowohl das 'Heute' gut managen aber gleichzeitig auch immer bereits ein Bein in der Zukunft haben. Covid-19 ist ein dramatischer Beschleuniger von den Dingen die vorher schon hier waren (ob gut oder schlecht), z.B. von digitaler Transformation und von der globalen Dekarbonifizierung unserer Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. In diesem Video zeige ich auf was ich für die nächsten 10 Jahre kommen sehe, und was es alles bedeuten könnnte. "As you SEE the Future, so you act, as you act so you BECOME".

This is the audio recording my complete keynote at the CSCMP Italy / Tesisquare event in February 2021, on the Future of technology: Data is the new oil - but also the new plutonium. AI is the new electricity. The Cloud is the new office, and the new living room. Augmented/Virtual/Mixed Reality is the new ears and eyes. So what does this all mean for supply chains, logistics and global trade?

There is nothing more important to the ongoing success of an organization than the future- preparedness of its employees, key decision makers and board of directors. The actions leaders take based on their views and perceptions of the near future determine whether their organisation will succeed in these times of permanant VUCA and exponential technological / societal shifts, or will be disrupted into irrelevance. Yet paradoxically, while foresight and scenario planning are vital to the success of the individual as well as the organisation, it is rare that enterprises and other organisations spend enough time and resources on this. All too often, digital transformation just means investing in more technology to make things more efficient, rather than using technology to actually BECOME DIFFERENT and do new things.

Extreme capitalism (as practiced in the US and in Brazil, for example) and 'corporate capitalism' is the root cause underlying many of our largest challenges today, such as inequality and social or racial injustice. Accelerated by the Covid-19 crisis, a realization is emerging: capitalism-as-we-know-it is not fit for solving global warming or for dealing with the threat of artificial-super-intelligence (ASI). We must go BEYOND GDP and beyond the 'invisible hand'. As Marc Benioff likes to say: "Capitalism as we know it is dead". You can watch the video series at https://vimeo.com/showcase/8174508 We need a new form of capitalism - but what exactly does that entail? I am proposing a new economic logic based on People Planet Purpose and Prosperity - more on that in my other videos, and my speaking topic below.

How, where, when and WHY we work is changing rapidly as the Megashifts such as digitisation, virtualisation, automation and cognification (AI or better, IA) accelerate and increasingly result in the dis/replacement of human routines. Yet this is only the beginning, and the End of Routine does NOT mean the end of human work. As technology advances, so too will the need for broad educational reform to shift people's focus from mostly routine tasks to more future-oriented, creative, and human only forms of work. This will have dramatic implications on society as a whole because as I like to say, "If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job." -- Watch the full videos at https://vimeo.com/showcase/8174508 For my complete keynote videos and films please visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOHm-yfLAeTYdLd4fnALewA/videos

2020 was a disruptive and massively confusing year for everyone, personally, and for every business and every organization, as well. 2021 will see a rebound of a sort - but we are not going back to 'normal', ever. In fact, I think that the next decade will bring more change the previous 100 years - we're at a FORK in the ROAD towards either utopia or oblivion. We have all the tools but will we have the telos (will, wisdom, purpose)? In this part I share my his insights, foresights and hunches on what 2021 may bring, and what that may mean for businesses, governments, and individuals going forward.

We are living in the era of big tech monopolies, but unlike the oil and gas conglomerates of the past, the underlying problems with Google and Facebook owning or dominating every aspect of the internet are less apparent, especially as these selfsame companies that also dominate the story of the future. IMHO the future debate needs to be re-integrated into civil society. The vision of a 'good future' is not a question of software - it's a question of human-ware. The question is no longer what we CAN do with technology, but what we WANT TO do. Not the possible future but the PREFERRED future.
