THE ANTICIPATORY ORGANIZATION: A PROVEN MODEL TO PREDICT CHANGE & CREATE EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS

Keynote Description:
Digital transformation has been accelerated 5 to 10 years in a matter of months, which has created new levels of exponential opportunities to accelerate growth. As digital transformation continues to accelerate, reacting and responding to change – no matter how agile you are – is no longer good enough. Anticipatory Leaders use Hard Trends to identify and act on disruptions before they disrupt. They pre-solve problems before they occur and anticipate customer needs before their competition. As a result, disruptive change becomes a major competitive advantage.

Key Takeaways (Customized for Each Audience):
In this eye-opening and highly motivating presentation by one of the world’s leading global futurists, disruptive innovation experts, and serial entrepreneurs, New York Times bestselling author of seven books Daniel Burrus blends rich examples with just the right amount of humor as he shares the most important trends shaping the future and the opportunities they provide. In addition, Burrus will use industry examples to teach attendees how to identify the Hard Trends based on future facts that will happen, and how to use those certainties, and the game-changing opportunities they provide, to craft lowrisk, high-reward strategies to elevate value, accelerate growth, and transform results.

Using Burrus’ mastery of storytelling to illustrate examples, deliverables include:

Identifying the most important Technology Driven Trends impacting the audience and their customers.
How to identify the Hard Trends that will happen to accurately anticipate disruptions before they disrupt, turning disruption into a choice.
How to use Hard Trends to identify problems before you have them so they can be pre-solved.
How to use Hard Trends to identify emerging opportunities to accelerate growth.
How to identify the Soft Trends based on assumptions that might happen and the related opportunities to influence them to your advantage.
How to use the certainty that comes from Hard Trends to accelerate both Everyday Innovation and Exponential Innovation with much lower risk.
How to use Problem Skipping to accelerate your organization’s growth and your employees’ personal success.

Positive Disruption: Accelerate Sustainable Growth with Digital Transformation

Keynote Description:
Digital transformation has accelerated 5 to 10 years in a matter of months, which has created new levels of exponential opportunities to accelerate growth. Going forward, you will either be the disruptor or the disrupted! Unfortunately, most of us see disruption as negative because when an industry, organization, or career is disrupted, you’re forced to react, crisis-manage, put out fires, and make dramatic changes in an effort to keep up and offset the damage caused by the disrupting technology, company, or event. Thanks to Burrus’ award-winning Hard Trend methodology and his proven track record of accurate technology forecasts spanning the past 30+ years, disruptions can be identified long before they disrupt, giving you the opportunity to become a positive disruptor actively shaping the future rather than reacting to it.

Using Burrus’ mastery of storytelling to illustrate examples, deliverables include:

How to identify the Hard Trends that will happen to accurately anticipate disruptions before they disrupt, allowing attendees to become a positive disruptor actively shaping the future.
How to use Hard Trends to identify problems before you have them so they can be pre-solved.
How to use Hard Trends to identify disruptive opportunities to accelerate growth.
How to identify the Soft Trends based on assumptions that might happen and the related opportunities to influence them to your advantage.
How to use the certainty that comes from Hard Trends to accelerate innovation with much lower risk.
How to use Problem Skipping to accelerate your organization’s growth and your employees’ personal success.

Accelerating Growth: Leading with Strategic Foresight

Keynote Description:
There has never been more opportunity to accelerate profitable growth than there is today! In 2020, everyone was forced to use digital solutions in new ways, which dramatically accelerated the exponential pace of technology-driven change. Agility and adaptability are no longer enough! Accurately anticipating technological changes as well as customers’ changing needs provides the biggest advantage. In times of unprecedented change and uncertainty, we need to ask ourselves what we are certain about. Strategies based on uncertainty equal high levels of risk. Strategies based on certainty dramatically reduce risk and produce superior results. Strategic foresight is gained by identifying the Hard Trend future facts that will happen and the game-changing opportunities they represent to craft exponential growth strategies.

In addition, Burrus shares proven trends and strategies for creating the must-have products, services, and experiences that will increase relevancy and accelerate profitable growth.

Using Burrus’ mastery of storytelling to illustrate examples, deliverables include:

How to accelerate growth by identifying the Hard Trends that will happen and the related opportunities they provide for accelerating growth.
How to identify the Soft Trends based on assumptions that might happen and the related opportunities to influence them to eliminate barriers to growth.
How to use the certainty that comes from Hard Trends to accelerate innovation with much lower risk.
How to use Problem Skipping to move forward faster.

The Anticipatory Organization : Elevate Planning, Accelerate Innovation, and Transform Results

Keynote Description:
Every business, regardless of its size, has a plan, just as most individuals have a plan of some kind. But having a plan does not guarantee success! Let’s face it, throughout history every business that either failed or experienced a dramatic decline had a plan! Some plans were based on a number of scenarios that may or may not happen. Some were based on current trends continuing, and some were focused on executing a static plan over a number of years.

Burrus, the creator of the award-winning Anticipatory Organization Planning Methodology, has transformed the way highly successful small, medium, and large organizations, including the Department of Defense, plan and innovate.
