The internet now reaches more than half the world's population. Conventional wisdom suggests that solutions that served the first half will trickle down and serve the second. The conventional wisdom is dead wrong. People living in the "2nd half" have different problems and seek different solutions. The "2nd half" will demand that CDOs deal with inconsistent data and inconsistent context. It will challenge status quo beliefs, about privacy and trust, making customer experiences more like those in Asia versus those in the classic developed countries.

Dan Gregory, Leadership and Behavior Speaker, Author and Social Commentator, Co-founder and CEO of The Impossible Institute
In a world where the constant conversation is “What is changing”, Dan Gregory will explore “What is unchanging?". As our world enters the fourth industrial revolution, it will be changed in ways we can hardly imagine. Economists and futurists are sharing predictions and warnings that range from the inspiring to the absolutely terrifying. Most of the talk is about what is coming and what we might need to change in order to be part of it. Yet they neglect a very important part of the conversation. Drawing on the research for his book by the same name, co-authored with Kieran Flanagan, Dan will ask, “What are the skills that will see us succeed no matter what else changes around us?”. While every age presents us with new technical skills to be learned and adopted, this amusing, thought-provoking and interactive session will outline the Forever Skills that have always mattered and those that always will.
