It was my pleasure to give a short presentation on Digital Disruption and Technology Strategy to a friendly audience at the Results Group yesterday evening – my slides below. Key messages:

NZ business needs to develop a stronger posture towards [digital] disruption (other than ignorance / indifference…):

– more technology industry experience at board and senior management levels
– see disruption coming: invest now to better understand disruption risks, timescales and opportunities
– incubate ideas to explore these themes without spending vast $$$
– develop strategies to address disruption before it happens to you

I’ve been following the development of Singularity University and the former Singularity Summit globally for years now – and thanks to Christchurch-based New Yorker // rainmaker // infinitely renewable energy source Kaila Colbin, New Zealand will be one of the first venues outside Silicon Valley to host a SingularityU Summit event.

Amazing opportunity for our small, *high growth potential* (in every sense of the word growth…) country to plug in to what’s happening at the forefront of global technological and societal change and make a substantial investment in the future of our country and the world.

Premier global events like this don’t happen in our neck of the woods too often…get your tickets now, I say. 🙂
