  • 9:05 am  – Keynote Speaker – Future Crunch (AUS), Dr Angus Hervey and Tane Hunter (virtually)
  • Future Crunch are dynamic, relevant and energetic speakers who provide intelligent, optimistic thinking about the future.
  • Topic Overview : Technological disruption requires us to learn faster than we ever had to before. Behaviours we’ve honed for decades are becoming obsolete in a few short years. Combined with a generational mindset shift in how we view the world, many are wondering how to remain relevant. What’s the key quality for success in this world of constant change? 

    You’ve heard of IQ and EQ; this century belongs to those that are quick to read and act on signals of change. People with a high Adaptability Quotient (AQ): the ability to thrive in unpredictable environments. Instead of being really good at doing one thing, adaptive people are really good at learning how to do new things.

    Drawing on the latest insights from the worlds of technology, neuroscience and management, this talk reveals why the best predictor of success is how individuals and organisations embrace rapid experimentation. You will walk away with an understanding of what it takes to foster AQ, how to identify it in others, and how it can be a superpower for anyone looking to maintain an advantage in the next economy

    This workshop will provide practical tools for building a brand that clients and stakeholders can trust, especially in an increasingly chaotic and digitally connected world.

From here we look at ways in which digital technologies can be used to establish and maintain trust in yourselves and brands. We conclude with practical tips for maintaining brand trust as practices grow, client demands change and the business environment becomes more changeable. The session would be particularly relevant to those looking to build their online presence, understand how to use social media beyond an advertising platform, those wanting to improve their connections in a disconnected landscape and those just looking to build trust in their brand in the eyes of their clients.
