The Anticipatory CPA – The BLI Thought Leaders Series with Dan Burrus (17W142-15)

Description

If you want to jump ahead of the competition—at low risk to your
organization—forget agility. Forget crisis management. The main skill
you need to thrive in a business environment marked by hyperchange and
uncertainty is the ability to accurately anticipate the future.

This may seem impossible.

It’s not!

Daniel Burrus is one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and
innovation experts. He is globally recognized for his exceptional 30+
year record of accurately predicting how technological, social, and
business forces converge to create untapped opportunities.

Based on decades of research and experience applying his HARD TREND
methodology to leading companies worldwide, he has identified the
missing competency: anticipation. With the Anticipatory Organization
Model, Burrus enables business leaders to identify the Hard Trends that
will happen, predict disruptions before they disrupt, and capitalize on
emerging opportunities.

Daniel Burrus is considered one of the World’s Leading Futurists on
Global Trends and Innovation. The New York Times has referred to him as
one of the top three business gurus in the highest demand as a speaker.
He is a strategic advisor to executives from Fortune 500 companies
helping them to develop game-changing strategies based on his proven
