We're continuing our online Executive Speakers on Speakers podcast with a Zoom conversation with futurist and keynote speaker Ben Hammersley about his latest speech topic "The Great Reassessment". In today's episode, we discuss the future of higher education, the future of work, and how innovation will move us forward during this pandemic and beyond. 

The Great Reassessment

Whether the pandemic ends in June, or whether it continues until Christmas, it cannot be understated how much it will have changed the world. From the way we’re now trying to continue our business operations to the social realization of who and what are truly essential and valuable, to how we will relate to each other in the future, 2020 will be seen as the year that every previously held assumption was thrown up into the air. The challenge is to understand how it might land, what we can control and what we will have to wait for, and how to position ourselves to recover and flourish in the future.

In this talk (or series of talks) world-renowned futurist and thought leader, Ben Hammersley, will address each of these subjects: the likely scenarios for a post-Corona world, the things we can do today and in the upcoming months to prepare for it, and the skills and knowledge we can start developing today to truly flourish.

From adapting to Cognitive Risk to transitioning to a Distributed Organisation; from identifying second and third-order dependencies before they fail to designing true resilience into our families and firms; from AI and VR and Telepresence robotics to the Death of Geography, the shifting power relationships in the workforce, and the failure of most modern mental frameworks, we’ll start the process of designing the future - the place we’ll be living the rest of our lives.
