Exponential Technologies & Desirable FuturesExponential technologies affect every industry much more comprehensive than any other technological shift in human history before. The term ‘exponential’ describes a global phenomenon which shifts the trajectory of social development from linear to exponential. That means, once an exponential technology reaches the point of no return the change is inevitable and therefore disruptively immersive for corporations and society. Having this in mind, we have the chance to shape Desirable Futures for all of us based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the UN. Our programme helps you to become fully educated using exponential technologies and the Art of Moonshot Thinking to create Moonshots and Desirable Futures for your company and our society.

What the Programme covers The concept of exponential technologies is an emergent domain that is rapidly changing, and often charged by diverse predictions and concerns for what this will mean for the future of several industries.

• Will established corporates lose the market to new players working more efficient and offering a better product or service, or will they learn to use the power of exponential technologies?

• How will society and the citizens change when entire industries get disrupted and the way we think takes a turn we would not expect?

• What will happen to old infrastructures which are left behind because of the speed of change?

By attending this programme, you will gain recources and knowledge to craft your own exponen-tial technology ventures. You will leave the programme equipped with the foundations to actively steer your strategy instead of just follow others.

This programme examines current and emerging exponential technologies in detail and brings them into context with markets, industries, society, and consumer experiences. Thereby, we will expose core elements, principles, and basic frameworks to equip you with tools, strategies, and knowledge to moonshot the future.

At Futur/io Institute we have a Mission for Europe: We strive to inspire and help create Desirable Futures for all of us. This is a challenge, and especially in the wake of the upcoming European Parliament election from May 23-26 it is more than ever necessary to take a stand for Europe.

Module 3 - (Being) present in the Future

Workshop – Apply Moonshot Thinking and work with the Futur/io Moonshot Framework

01:00 pm – Lunch break

02:30 pm – Moonshot Workshop

12:00 pm – Desirable Futures Lecture

Presence, Purpose and comPassion are the hidden keys to successful self-leadership. The more present we are in ourselves, the more present we can be with someone else. The more self-aware and self-understanding we are of ourselves, the more we will be able to guide ourselves into the future we desire and visualise. The more we exercise kind inner dialogue the more we actually motivate and encourage ourselves and others. Join our one hour deep dive to connect with and explore your own self, through reason and intuition. Prepare yourself mentally on change and prepare your mind for new encounters. Envision your contribution to a Desirable Future and mark what is holding you back to shape that future you so deeply desire.

In this workshop, the attendees will create their own Moonshots based on our Moonshot Framework. Moonshot Thinking is the capability to think exponentially into the future and define a vision. You will learn to accept uncertainty and give any idea a chance to be a good idea. Any idea or future scenario can come true when the relevant technology arrives; it is better to think of the future now than wait until competitors have done it instead. Moonshot Thinking also means that there are many Desirable Futures you can help shape.

Module 4 – The impact of exponential technologies on key industries

Exponential technologies are rapidly accelerating and shaping major industries and all aspects of our lives. Business leaders often disregard or do not notice technologies during their deceptively slow growth phases, and continue to neglect them until they begin to change the way we live and do business. We give you deep insights about the latest exponential technologies and let you know what you can expect from them.

Module 5 – Part 2: Corporate Culture

How to innovate in corporate environments and gain a global competitive edge? To apply Moonshot Thinking in corporate organizations where you have to break it down to daily tasks, it is important to understand the different digital innovation models.These operating models make also visible what tools and methods work and what not. What is the key differentiator for European companies in global competition?

AI and Robotics are key technologies and a driver for a paradigm shift as well as a milestone in the interplay of humans and machines. AI and robotic assisted medicine and healthcare will have various advantages fighting diseases and helping people to have an exponentially better life. Our experts discuss the future transformation from a corporate and research point of view to reveal common strategies how the future of health might look and what patients can expect from these exponential technologies.
