Welcome to the 21st Century

The future will not be like the past. We’re at an inflection point where the decisions our societies make now can have an enormous impact on the course of the next few decades. Those of us in business and in government have difficult choices to make. And those choices have to be made with wildly uncertain futures in mind. We can no longer base our strategies on the old baselines of predictable consumer demand, globalization, office life and business travel, and access to talent, credit, or venture funding. In this talk,Tim O’Reilly discusses some of the forces that are shaping the post-Covid future, what skills will be needed in that new world, and how scenario planning can help you develop a robust strategy that will hold up well against a range of possible outcomes.
