EMPOWERING THE PRESENT, SHAPING THE FUTURE

Navigate the Future with an Exponential Mindset

21-24 May 2024

Nova SBE, Cascais, Portugal

Overview

We’re encountering some of the greatest transitions that any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is already affecting every part of our lives; every business, every industry, every society — even what it means to be “human.” These changes show no signs of slowing down; in fact, they’re accelerating rapidly.

But the ever-increasing pace of change doesn’t just hold challenges – it holds opportunity. We are shifting from an economic model based on scarcity to one of abundance. What are the strategic implications? What kinds of policies do we need? What is the impact on our economy? What are the ethical considerations? None of the old rules apply.

In a country such as Portugal, where technology is popping up in every corner, these questions are even more pressing.

The SingularityU Executive Program Portugal is an exclusive and immersive program designed to guide leaders and doers toward answering these questions and grasping exponential opportunities.

The Challenge

Exponential technologies are changing the way we live and work. They have the power to transform industries and create new ones, to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges, and to shape our future in ways we can only imagine. But to fully realize their potential, we need leaders who understand their impact and are willing to embrace change.

Leadership is about taking responsibility for creating the future we want. It’s about having the courage to make decisions that will shape the future, even when the outcomes are uncertain. In a world of exponential change, this is more important than ever. As leaders, we need to understand the exponential technologies that are shaping our world, and we need to be able to make informed decisions about how we use them.

Exponential technologies are transforming everything from the way we communicate to the way we produce and distribute goods and services. They are making new knowledge and capabilities available to us at an unprecedented pace, and they are changing the rules of the game. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to stay ahead of the curve, to know the future so we can act in the present.

To do this, we need to develop an exponential mindset. This means embracing change, embracing uncertainty, and being comfortable with risk-taking. It means being open to new ideas and new ways of thinking and being willing to experiment and learn from our mistakes. It means being curious, being willing to challenge our assumptions, and being willing to continuously improve.

The Concept

Exponential leadership is about creating the future we want, by embracing change, fostering innovation, and empowering other leaders to do the same. It’s about taking the future into our own hands and using exponential technologies to make a positive impact in the world.

Only by understanding what’s ahead of us, and the forces that are driving and shaping the future can leaders prepare their organizations in the present. 

So, let’s embrace the future, with all its uncertainty and possibility. Let’s be the leaders who shape the future, and let’s use exponential technologies to create a better world for ourselves and for future generations. 

FASTRACK THE FUTURE AND ACT WITH PRESENT-ORIENTED EXPONENTIAL MINDSET TO DRIVE INNOVATION AND GROWTH, SHAPING A BETTER TOMORROW FOR ALL
