About the lecture

In this thought-provoking presentation based on his book ‘Transition Point’, Sean discusses the transition from the Age of Industry to the Age of Intelligent Automation, and how a new wave of disruptive technologies is fundamentally changing nearly every aspect of business, from leadership imperatives to the skills needed to be successful.   

He will present a glimpse into the very near future where a ‘triple whammy’ of automation will result in a supply chain that is fully automated, personalised and local. He will also discuss how we have reached a critical juncture in this new wave, as a collection of technological milestones have just been achieved that indicate that this transformation is about to take off.

What will you learn:

  • The nature of disruption, and why the world is so chaotic right now 

  • How a new wave of technological developments is about to create a new industrial revolution and the end of the mass-produced, human-driven supply chain 

  • The impact that this paradigm shift will have on the very nature of work, the challenges this will create  

  • Why companies need to become anti-fragile in order to survive this transition 

  • Why the challenge for many companies is human not technological; dependent on their ability to shift their linear industrial mindsets to adapt to an exponential and digital world.  

  • Finally, Sean will provide advice as to how to adapt to this new wave so their company can thrive through this period, not just survive.
