Keynote by speaker Michael Leadbetter: Exponential Disruption
Using frameworks and observations from organizational disruption work worldwide Michael builds the case in a crystal clear way that exponential disruption is accelerating and organizations need to think and behave differently.
Most leaders are focused on iterating to solve today’s problems without focusing on industry level changes occuring at an accelerating rate. Michael demonstrates that practical frameworks and strategies are both achievable and necessary.

An internal organizational level self analysis of what mindset shifts, new terminology and immediate next steps and/or frameworks should be adopted to future proof.
