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?

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?
