Masterclass overview
There probably is no music or newspaper mogul in the world today who wouldn’t pray to wake up tomorrow morning and find the Internet was just a bad dream. But the digital revolution was just a taste of far bigger things. Some business leaders will understand this, many will not – and their company could die as a result. Drawing on lessons from commerce, art and science, this workshop will help you understand the megatrends that will shape your business (and global economics) over the next 30 years; how definitions of wealth, leadership and power will shift over the next decade; and will explore the new rules of corporate agility that will determine whether you prosper – or fall victim to the unavoidable impact of rapid change.
