This is a summary for my brand-new 2021 keynote topic: SUSTAINABLE IS THE NEW PROFITABLE. GREEN IS THE NEW DIGITAL. Wide-ranging new carbon taxes are inevitable, and so is the sudden end of the $3.5 Trillion global fossil fuel subsidy paradox. During the Covid-19 crisis we have learned that being prepared for emergencies is utterly essential – and that we can compromise and collaborate if we have to. Covid-19 is a test-run for climate change! In this talk, I explain why this tectonic shift is happening now, what it really means, and how to get behind it and prosper in this fork-in-the-road decade that’s coming up.

Even before Covid-19, the world was accelerating at an unprecedented pace. And today, in the wake of the Corona crisis, society and business have seen decades-worth of disruption in the span of months as everything from healthcare and hospitals, to love, friendship, and business have been forcibly taken online. It has been an unparalleled transformation and we are not going back as the accelerated challenges (and opportunities) present themselves at a faster and faster pace, amplifying pre-existing trends and Megashifts to a rapidly evolving world where only those with a future mindset ready to adapt, change, and build resiliency will survive and thrive.

Listen to the excerpt of Gerd's q&a session at the IEEE Global Conference on AI and IoT in Dubai (virtually) on Dec 13 2020 (see https://gcaiot.org/)​ Culture eats technology for breakfast. The story of the future should not be dominated by Silicon Valley / Big Tech but by civil society. Technology drives our societies but Ethics defines it. Technology is not what we seek but how we seek. We need to move beyond GDP, towards People Planet Purpose and Prosperity. The key question is not 'what will the future bring' but 'what kind of future do we want'. Do we want to live in a world where technology is the PURPOSE or even the religion...or just the tool.

This is the complete recording of Gerd Leonhard, CEO of The Futures Agency http://gerd.fm/2WXdH7V at LinkedIn Latam's Blue Room event. Data was the new oil - but now data can also be the new plutonium (i.e. it can be used as a weapon). Artificial intelligence would be better named Intelligent Assistance (IA). Digital Ethics remains a top priority for marketers and brands. Social media is facing a global trust crisis. If you have nothing to hide... you are probably not human. Remote everything is the new normal but human-to-human interactions are becoming more valuable than ever before. Too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing. When AI meets HI (human intelligence), business as usual is over. This event was produced by Living Brands for LinkedIn Latam. Thanks to both for making this video available!
