  Age of Transformation: why all leaders need to be futurists, and how others do it

  According to Google's principle researcher and AI visionary, Ray Kurzweil, "We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress at today’s rate". Never before in human history have leaders needed to navigate such a fast-changing business landscape. Literally every leader needs to become more future-focussed and adaptive to the AI wave that's changing our world. As a business futurist for 25 years, Ancketill will explain the urgency, demonstrate concrete outputs of future-focussed innovative cultures, and show how others create the conditions for continuous innovation,adaptation and success.
