The Anticipatory Leader™: Predict Change and Create Extraordinary Results

Mastering these capabilities will position your organization to be the disruptor instead of being the disrupted—thus creating competitive advantage, and reducing risk.
Accelerating Growth: Leading With Strategic Foresight and Certainty
Accelerating growth requires a new way of thinking about overcoming obstacles and acting on new opportunities. All too often, change comes from the outside in, forcing us to react by slipping into a crisis management mode, and putting out fires. This presentation is about opportunity management, identifying the driving forces of predictable change, driving growth strategies from the inside out, and taking control of our future.
Accelerating Growth in a Recovering Economy: Taking Control of Your Future and Capitalizing on the Next Wave of Technological Change
In a recovering economy, accelerating growth requires a new way of thinking about overcoming obstacles, as well as identifying and acting on new opportunities. Often, change comes from the outside in, forcing us to react by slipping into a crisis management mode and continuously putting out fires. This presentation is about opportunity management—identifying the driving forces of predictable change and using innovative strategies to drive growth from the inside out.
Leading With Strategic Foresight and Certainty: Anticipating New Opportunities and Predicting Problems Before they Happen
In times of unprecedented change and uncertainty, we need to ask ourselves, “What am I certain about?” Strategies based on uncertainty and hope equal high levels of risk. Strategies based on certainty dramatically reduce risk and produce superior results. Hindsight always brings lament. You can never go back and change your past decisions and actions. Strategic foresight takes your vision to a new actionable level by adding the events that will happen in the future. Over the past quarter century, Daniel Burrus has established a worldwide reputation for his exceptional record of accurately predicting how technological, social, and business forces are converging to create enormous, untapped opportunities. Based on his revolutionary method of identifying Hard Trends from Soft Trends, and Permanent Changes from Cyclical Changes, attendees learn how to both anticipate and capitalize on new opportunities, as well as predict problems long before they happen. In addition, they will learn how to use the new tools and rules of leadership to accelerate growth.
Virtualization & Advanced Cloud Services: Driving Business Process Transformation
Burrus takes the concept of looking into the future and transforms it into a new paradigm for running highly successful businesses that use new tools of innovation for driving business process transformation designed to dramatically increase agility, speed and cost savings for accelerating growth both now and in the future. Virtualization and advanced cloud services are rapidly transforming the IT landscape, allowing IT to focus more on innovation versus maintenance. Virtualization is a style of computing where scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service to customers using Internet technology. We already have virtual desktops, servers, networking, storage, and security, to name a few processes that are V-enabling the enterprise. There are public clouds, community clouds, virtual private clouds, private cloud services, and hybrid clouds that allow organizations to create infrastructure as a service. In his thought-provoking and highly motivating presentation, Daniel Burrus teaches how to Anticipate the evolution of virtualization and cloud services using the new science of certainty, Accelerate growth by gaining new levels of agility and speed, and Transform the underlying business processes of how we sell, market, communicate, collaborate, innovate, train and educate…because if you don’t someone else will.
