We are living in a time of rapid economic transition driven by the exponential rate of change in technology and demographics. For example, robots are expected to displace 15 million workers by 2025. It’s no longer enough to just adapt to change, but we must anticipate it so that our communities do not become extinct in the new economy. Is your community prepared for these changes that will be shaping our cities, economies, and workforce?
Watch this 90-minute (60-min presentation followed by 30-min Q&A session) recorded* webinar where Dean Whittaker, President & CEO of Whittaker Associates, demonstrates the use of a STEEP (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, and Political) process trend analysis to discover developments that will shape our future and help your organization move from strategic planning to strategic doing!
You will learn:
Why anticipating trends is pertinent to your community’s prosperity
How to use STEEP trend analysis to anticipate changes
What are the industries of the future
What skills will be needed to thrive during this time of transition
What infrastructure will be required to give you a competitive advantage
How you and your community will benefit and find opportunity in this time of change
Don’t get caught playing catch-up in the new economy. It won’t work. Let’s prepare by anticipating the future before it gets here!
