The wisdom of the elders transcends time and place. Simplicity, truth and authenticity, all attributes of great leadership and organisational impact.

with Oren Berkovich

What does it mean to lead in an era of accelerating change? When is past experience a useful superpower and when does it create blindspots that limit your imagination? We all know that tomorrow is unpredictable, unknown, and unexpected. So how can we lead successfully in today’s high-pressure, high-performance day-to-day? Futurestarters explores superpowers, blindspots and the six different essential mindsets we must leverage in order to create #AFutureByDesign.

From the classroom to the boardroom, conversations centred on lifelong learning are happening globally and locally. How do we ensure the lessons of the past are embedded in those of the future? How do we narrow the gap between ideation and execution?

Morning Tea

with Dr Divya Chander (USA)

We are entering a future in which human senses, capabilities and cognition are being augmented. Exponential technology - stem cells, AI, robots, and machines - coupled with new read-write capabilities to the digitized genetic and neural code, have made it possible for humans to surpass the capabilities they were born with. We will explore how this may increase human longevity and give us new brains, bodies and senses, essentially giving birth to a new form of superhuman. Or perhaps force the human-directed evolution of Homo sapiens.

2020 unleashed the power of ‘the voice’. People spoke en masse and governments began to listen. Movements gained velocity and change rippled. What next?

with Nicki Hutley (AUS)

For too long we have focussed on the costs of addressing climate change, without looking at the benefits. Failure to move quickly to a net zero world will literally cost us the planet, but action now can turn our planet Earth into a Super Planet, generating economic and social prosperity alongside environmental harmony. In this talk, we look at why we need to take the higher road and the opportunities for growth that will come from this. We also look at how economists value the lives of future generations compared with our own and the implications for climate action.
