Are you thinking big enough?

Are you thinking big enough?

Because if you don’t do it, someone else will!

“At this very moment, there are probably a bunch of really smart people figuring out how to disrupt your business model!” – Futurist Jim Carroll
Give it a few years.
You won’t even recognize the industry you are operating in.
That’s because the rate of business model change is accelerating in every single industry – and the global pandemic has made it faster. Here’s why:
Examples of this type of disruption are occurring all around you right now.
It’s going to happen to you too.
So — what are you going to do about it?

CEOs have a challenge. They need to align their team to ‘what comes next’ in order to figure out ‘what to do about it.’
Based on a discussion around electric cars and battery technology the other day, I got to thinking about what is holding many people back. I hit the virtual broadcast studio to film an overview of the trend; here’s a short extract with the salient points.

Here’s a look back at a great keynote four years ago this month.
This talk was for Legrand’s North American leadership meeting, where the CEO and his team were fine-tuning strategies and plans for the coming year. They’re big in the global tech industry, manufacturing a wide variety of component parts and cabling. My talk took a look at key trends providing opportunity in the manufacturing process, including the factory of the future, the Internet of Things, digitization, 3D printing, accelerated supply chains, and much more. Here’s a highlight clip.

“What comes next? What are you going to do about it?” – Futurist Jim Carroll
I love a great stage!
This one was in Connecticutt for LeGrand – a manufacturing company that needed a good look into the future of their industry for their senior executives on a wide variety of specific trends. It’s an example of where my business has been heading for 15+ years – away from association events and general conferences, towards very specific, CEO-level corporate meetings that are focused on some extremely customized topic issue.
The stage? Typical of what I began to see over time as companies started to invest heavily in these all-important team meetings. Here’s a short highlight clip – and the moment I was brought on stage to David Bowie’s Starman!
Does the quote neatly summarize my opening comments for many audiences? For sure!
Do you really know what trends are going to disrupt your world?
With that in mind, what do you plan to do about it?
Given the crisis of the last 16 months, many organizations had little time to think about these issues – they’ve been focused on triage, surviving, getting by. They’ve compressed 10 years of trends into but a few months as they focused on getting through the pandemic.
But now, as some regions begin to emerge into an era of recovery, they are once again beginning to think about their future beyond basic pressing, immediate issues – and are looking for guidance on what comes next. And more importantly, insight on what they need to do about it. The future promises to be faster than it was pre-Covid, the trends have more impact, and the world has accelerated.
As a tour guide that takes my audiences into the future, I look forward to challenging them once again!
