    Digital technologies are a powerful General Purpose Technology, one that is radically and rapidly reshaping every sector of the economy worldwide, transforming it into the digital economy. They have unleashed powerful new forces, in particular accelerated innovation and energized entrepreneurship. Although these hold the promise of widespread and sustainable prosperity, they also bring with them profound challenges, including increased digital vulnerability, negative externalities and perhaps much more precarious employment.

    For ‘born analog’ established enterprises in particular they pose the existential threat of creative destruction, as the journey from digital efficiency to becoming a digital explorer, and leveraging platforms as the basis of digital ecosystems is difficult and perilous.

    This session will outline the challenges, and chart a path that ensure that you, and your business, survive and thrive in the digital economy – and at the same time help create a prosperous and sustainable future for the planet, and for all of its people. In particular, it will outline how perhaps the most powerful technological innovation that the tech sector has produced is an innovation in management, a different approach to leadership and strategy that has proven much more effective than conventional approaches. As part of this it will also describe the the relevant experience and specialist expertise that will be in greatest demand, and outline the key behaviors that will are critical to future leaders’ success.
