See keynotes with Geoff ColvinAs business leaders face their biggest challenge ever, Geoff Colvin arms audiences with insights to help them lead their organizations into the future. He connects the dots to provide an unparalleled update on the economic, political, technological, and competitive forces driving business disruption – and opportunity. Geoff has an important message for business leaders gleaned from 40 years at Fortune: the companies who win most often have leaders who summon the courage to act in spite of great uncertainty. Those leaders stopped protecting the past and started inventing the future – and they did it faster than the competition.
Audience takeaways:
Everyday brings new harsh surprises, economic and policy change, the competitor or new business model you never saw coming, and much more. A game-changing technology. Competing in the friction- free economy has leaders worrying about what they don’t know.
With robots and smart machines doing so much of the work that humans used to do, what is the future of work? Where will humans add value? What job skills will be most in-demand?
Speaker Geoff is fully equipped with answers to these ever-burning questions with his research from his New York Times bestselling book, “Humans are underrated”.
Scientific research on great performance shows that what most of us believe about hard work and raw talent is off-base. This means that most of us will never perform as well as we could.
