Gigatrends: Seven Tech Trends that are Changing Everything
Gigatrends looks at the greatest technological shifts of the 21st century and lays out a roadmap to navigate the change, disruption, and opportunities they will create. From the Metaverse and Web 3.0, to the emergence of Digital Workers, from Frictionless Commerce to Blockchain, the Global Healthcare Crisis to Generation Alpha, Gigatrends sheds a bright and insightful light on the many unanticipated ways that technology will shape the future; connecting the dots between what are often confusing and disconnected trends to make them understandable and actionable. And all of this directly from Tom’s unique perspective of more than four decades on the front lines of the technology revolution.
Like all of Tom’s keynotes, Gigatrends is customized for each audience and takes a decidedly behavioral approach to describing how technology will shape us, our organizations, and the world—providing a practical roadmap for organizations that want to thrive in the 21st Century.
At a time when uncertainty seems to be looming large over every aspect of our lives. Gigatrends sets a course for the future that is realistic, fascinating, and above all, hopeful.
The Future of Work
Companies are struggling to navigate a perfect storm of economic, workforce, and market disruption the likes of which we have never seen on such a large and prolonged scale. However, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be done, only that we need to be creative and courageous enough to change the way we approach much of what we’ve come to accept as the way we work and run our businesses.
In this keynote, Tom provides a roadmap for navigating the future of a workplace where humans and digital workers will work side by side, marketplaces where friction is virtually eliminated, the role that AI will play in re-imagining work, and the critical issues of managing Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
This is a watershed moment in history; some companies will reinvent themselves and the way they engage with employees, customers, and partners, while others are quickly left behind. Simply put, there is opportunity in the uncertainty. The take away will be a positive and realistic look at how to re-imagine the work.Reimagining Healthcare
American healthcare is on the precipice of an enormous transformation, brought on by an aging demographic, new diagnostic tools, therapies, pharmaceuticals – and the exponential rate of technology advances. These changes are creating an unprecedented opportunity to build a future that puts the patient at the center of an incredibly rich healthcare ecosystem – one with the power to positively and dramatically impact our quality of life. With the ability to capture and store data about every healthcare interaction, we will be able to predict disease and illness – better than we can currently predict tomorrow’s weather forecast. It could be an amazing future in which healthcare becomes a fundamental human right accessible and affordable to everyone.
