      Guest Keynote: The Uncertainty Principle — How to lead in the Never Normal
      Peter Hinssen, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker and Author, Nexxworks
      We’re at a crossroads. Certainly since the COVID-19 crisis but even before that, we have been evolving into a world with many new types of disruptions. There’s this potent cocktail of global platforms, information, intelligence, and automation that is accelerating the pace of change. But technology is no longer the biggest driver of disruption. What’s coming at us is ecological, biological, societal and geopolitical in nature and this is just the beginning. These many disruptions are going to evolve into seismic shocks that will completely overturn how we live and work. Think about the rising sea levels we might experience in coming decades. Or pandemics like COVID-19. Or the cold (trade) war between the US and China.
