THE FUTURE OF WORK IS HERE. THE SPEED OF DISRUPTION IS BECOMING MORE RAPID. STARTUPS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD. ARE YOU KEEPING PACE?

It’s old news…

Startups are using technology to disrupt every single industry. Companies that previously dominated their market have been quickly and quietly replaced by the speed, innovation and adaptability of newer, leaner companies.

Think of Netflix and Blockbuster. Apple and Nokia. 

This doesn’t just affect companies. It affects everyone.

It affects YOU.

Your job, your career path, your investment opportunities, your small business. No one goes untouched.

The only way to stay relevant is to keep pace with change.

So, what are you doing to keep up?

INNOVATION & STARTUPS IN: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work, live, engage with others, and almost every area of life. It’s disrupted industries across the board from healthcare and law, to finance and marketing. So, who and what is driving these changes? What’s the impact of these changes? How will the industry adapt? And what does this mean for the future of work?

CAREERS FOR EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS

Innovations in technology have completely changed the work landscape. Today there are jobs that didn’t exist 10 years ago, and quickly jobs that existed 10 years ago are becoming automated, augmented or replaced. In such a context, what does an experienced professional need to do start a new career, or make their existing experience more relevant in today’s economy?

INNOVATION & STARTUPS IN: THE DATA ECONOMY

We’ve all heard that “data is the new oil”, but do we understand how it is enabling disruption across every industry sector? In this bootcamp we will look at how data is changing the world we live in, what opportunities and challenges are arising from the world of data, and some examples of how data is being used to disrupt industries and business models.

ARE YOU ‘FUTURE READY’?

The pace of change is getting faster. It’s never been more urgent for YOU to keep pace.

CAREERS ARE CHANGING

Stories of redundancies are becoming increasingly frequent, as technology enables faster and cheaper solutions for businesses. The career paths of today and tomorrow did not exist 10 years ago. While this may sound scary, it’s also a time of great opportunity for those ready and willing to embrace the change.

BUSINESS MODELS ARE EVOLVING

The hyperconnectedness enabled by technology has given birth to business models that are able to reach massive scale at a fraction of traditional costs, completely reinventing entire business models. How is your organisation going to compete and stay relevant in such an environment?

STARTUPS ARE BUILDING THE FUTURE

How we live and work is being shaped and changed by fast-moving startups that are challenging the ‘old ways’ of doing things. As we move into a world that is built onto of the disruptions and innovations created by startups, what place will we occupy in that world?

Stone & Chalk is known for our focus on supporting startups.
But startups can’t exist in isolation. They need you.

We understand that in order to truly support startups, we need to support the whole ecosystem.
And that means making sure no one gets left behind.
