What do gunpowder, disposable diapers, and the battle between 1920s "jaywalkers" and "flivverboobs" have in common? They are all stories of profound societal disruption. Four centuries ago, Sir Francis Bacon noted only three truly world-changing innovations had emerged in 2,000 years. Today, we face a rapid wave of change: A.I., Additive Manufacturing, Alternative Proteins, and Autonomous Vehicles—just a few starting with "A." While the current pace is unprecedented, the human reaction to disruption is not. In this thought-provoking webinar, Scott Anthony, innovation expert and author of Epic Disruptions: 11 Innovations That Shaped Our Modern World, will masterfully weave together fascinating stories from history and equip you to navigate today’s uncertain landscape.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn ways to position your organization for long-term success amid current challenges.
- Uncover the recurring patterns in technological adoption and resistance.
- Identify the mindset—patience and persistence—that separates lasting innovators from those left behind.
