Bouncing Back: Preparing for Future Growth
Moments of disruption are never without precedent. There are distinct historical patterns at work over the last three centuries that show plenty of context for what we’re going through now and what’s to come in the near future. We are living in a series of repetitive cycles, known as resets, that readjust the operating system of our very world. While they are complex, they are still predictable in their outcome.
In this presentation, Leonard Brody can help you shift your perspective on what we’re going through and understand that the success stories in the coming years will be tied to leaders who master these cycles and are prepared to bounce back. He’ll help you and your organization prepare to lean into the inevitability of a coming recovery. We know factually that periods of upheaval are always followed by economic growth. What changes are permanent and what is only short-term? How can we harness that? And how can we adjust business frameworks to move smoothly and smartly into the future ahead? Brody will answer these questions and more, illuminating the big picture with proven research, experience, and insights.
Session takeaways:
- How to identify the historical cycles taking place over the past 350 years that demonstrate how things in the post-COVID-19 era will shake out.
- How to embrace these patterns, adapt to their impact, and lead through this cycle with confidence and clear perspective.
- Learn about the key long term behavioral shifts and what changes are likely to be only temporary.
- Best practices of companies that thrive in these reset moments and are built to bounce back.
The Great ReWrite
We are living in the largest institutional and human shift in the history of our species. It is a complete resetting of the operating system of our planet. The Rewrite is a multi award-winning talk and series in partnership with Forbes on the future of our world and the way that organizations can stay relevant and thrive. It’s a playbook for the post innovation era. Innovation as a concept has failed us. It has become void of meaning and thus crippled companies ability to respond to the world being rewritten around them. Leonard Brody explains how to deal with the questions the future holds, and how organizations can harness the uncertainty they’re faced with and turn it into excitement, innovation, and success.
What’s next? The Great Rewrite. That’s what.
Beyond Human
There is a great deal of confusion around what AI is and what it is actually capable of. Beyond Human decodes the world of artificial intelligence from the perspective of its impact on the core competencies of an organization. It puts in place a roadmap for how one can understand the impact of an era when the human brain is no longer the most sophisticated hard drive on earth. It’s about practicality, not scientific theory. We are standing at a great precipice in human history. It's time to demystify AI and truly understand what it is and how it can be harnessed to propel organizations to their next level of growth and purpose.
Kapital
We are entering into a post currency era; the reign of nation states over money is now over. As the blockchain allows individuals and organizations to launch their own economic systems, the global capital markets will have to react and respond. This may be the largest shift in the movement of money ever.
