Nevertheless we have become friends and we respect each other’s views. There will be no soft-balls and no beating around the bush in this debate – just honesty and curiosity:).

I have started calling this ‘The Great Transformation‘. Basically, there is a time before Covid19, and there’s a time after Covid19. Leadership is even more mission-critical now – both personally and professionally. Covid-19 presents us all – political, civil, community and & business leaders – with a never seen before Transformation Challenge: How should we react to this remarkably adaptive, fast-spreading and vexing adversary, all-too-often amplified by human complacency, incompetence, carelessness and selfishness?

Carbon Taxes: We must embrace the reality that wide-ranging and disruptive carbon taxes are pretty much inevitable. 2. The Quadruple Bottom Line: The much debated shift to shareholder- (not just shareholder-) value is likely to reboot stock-markets around the world in the next decade, as we transition to what I call the quadruple bottom-line: People, Planet, Purpose and Prosperity 3. Responsible Investing: 2020 marks the beginning of a New Renaissance as responsible investing – and rapid divestment from fossil fuels... 4. The humanly sustainable use of technology: Too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing: technology should be magic, not manic or even toxic...

This is a recording of Gerd Leonhard's entire keynote at GESS 2020. https://www.gessdubai.com/ Thanks to the organizers for making this video available! Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtkJnqR90BY&feature=youtu.be Our world will change more in the next 10 years than the previous 100 years, and the way we work will never be the same. A totally blended and diverse workforce, the gig economy as the new normal, virtual and remote work... and most 2030 jobs haven't even been invented yet. What can we expect in the next 10 years, what are the opportunities and challenges that exponential technological progress will bring? What skills will we need, and how must education adapt to a world where machines are learning and 'thinking', and where 9 Billion people will be connected at almost unlimited bandwidth? The future is better than we think - and we can choose to create it or be created by it!

Q&A mit Prof Dr Dietmar Boeckler zum Thema Mensch und Maschine. Im Rahmen der Eröffnungsfeier sprach Gerd Leonhard, Futurist und Humanist: "In unserer Welt mangelt es nicht an visionären Denkern, die bereit sind, Organisationen und Unternehmen auf der Suche nach Weiterentwicklung die Zukunft in schillernden Farben zu zeichnen." Gerd Leonhard geht es anders an: er wendet die humanistische Tradition einer offenen philosophischen Debatte über brennende Themen an, wie sie im realen Hier und Jetzt als auch in der nahen Zukunft passieren. Von digitaler Fettsucht und technologischer Singularität bis zur Frage nach globalen, ethischen Rahmenbedingungen rund um die digitale Transformation agiert Gerd Leonhard als Guide, Mentor und Katalysator für zahlreiche Unternehmen, die erfolgreich den Wandel zum zukunftsorientierten Denken vollziehen. Sein neuestes Buch «Technology vs. Humanity» zeigt auf, wie wir in der bevorstehenden Zeit der algorithmischen Dominanz einzigartig menschlich bleiben können. Besten Dank an den Präsidenten der DGG Univ. Professor Dr. Dittmar Böckler und der Firma icon.
