This presentation will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic will be like a bullet train to the future, dramatically accelerating many trends involving digital communication that were already underway and that will never return to the way they were before the pandemic. Examples discussed will include the kinds of jobs people will do, how and where they will work, how this will affect real estate, how people will shop and socialize, and how they will learn. The presentation will also suggest how new kinds of online work can help solve some of the near-term problems the pandemic creates.

Building a successful new venture within an existing organization is not easy. Organizations become successful by building optimized, repeatable businesses. Entrepreneurial ventures, on the other hand, require an iterative, experimental mindset, and a completely different set of skills. In this talk, we will explore how leaders can help make their organizations more entrepreneurial via the Disciplined Corporate Entrepreneurship framework. There are three parts to this framework: Strategy, Enablement, and Practice. We will discuss how C-level executives make decisions to invest in innovation, how leaders of innovation labs and initiatives can select and deploy enablement tools, and how corporate entrepreneurs can leverage organizational and entrepreneurial skills to generate net new business value and build successful ventures.
