Move into the strangeness
-
Popular international speaker John Sanei shares how to adapt to transformation.
In the September webinar series, popular futurist strategist John Sanei shared insights into the rapid pace of change confronting many during a talk titled “Trans-For-Motion: Transforming at constant pace into the unknown future”. Although he admitted that no one can fully identify what the future would look like, he shared patterns of change, the psychology around change and how attendees could develop teams to face big challenges ahead.
Sanei has received global recognition for his keynote talks and masterclasses as Africa’s first Singularity University faculty member, a lecturer at Duke Corporate Education and an associate partner at the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. He is the co-founder of the School of Modern Wisdom and The Expansive Podcast.
“The world has developed a system that needs to have absolute outcomes and when this not possible – it leads to anxiety. Our brains like certainty and predictability.” He said a “megatrend” was the “poverty of reimagination”. “There is no going back but moving into the strangeness is actually better for all of us,” he said.
He suggested that businesses need to move from “complicated” to “complex” systems, which requires new skill sets.
