Florence Guild

Speaker Anders Sörman-Nilsson Type Live Conversation About this conversation We are at the knee of the curve of exponentiality. If you thought yesterday was fast, you haven’t imagined the pace of tomorrow yet. Meanwhile, many organisations are run in a way that is perfectly prepared for a world that no longer exist – yesterday. The future is a blend of the virtual and the physical, the digital and the analogue. And brands that know how to blend work, life, sleep, creativity, presence, absence, and output – seamlessly – both globally and locally, are those that are flexibly prepared for a place where we will spend the rest of our lives – the future. Conversation notes - What is exponentiality? - How does the world of exponentiality affect your life? - Are there certain human behaviours that do not accept the fastness of the digital world? - Technology has changed the way people work and that changes how people will retire - Successful business strategies join the analogue and digital worlds - How does seamlessness disrupt traditional industries?
