  1. The future is exponential, combinatorial and convergent

2) Technology will NOT solve social or political problems – that’s OUR job!

3) To be successful in the future, we must look OUTSIDE of our current domains!

4) Who is MISSION CONTROL for humanity?  Technology is not what we seek but how we seek

5) Efficiency is for robots

Author: Gerd Leonhard

In the words of American poet John Berryman, “the possibility that has been overlooked is the future”. Most of us are far too busy coping with present challenges to explore the future in any depth – and when we do our own cravings and fears often run away with us, resulting in utopias or dystopias that are not very helpful in terms of planning and decisions. Today’s professionals, leaders and their organisations need a dedicated, passionate long-term understanding of the future if they are to successfully navigate the exponential waves of change. For countless individuals and organizations that intelligence is called Gerd Leonhard.
