<ul><li><strong>The Anticipatory Organization: A Proven Model To Predict Change & Create Extraordinary Results</strong></li><li>Based on decades of research and experience applying his Hard Trend methodology to leading companies worldwide, Daniel has identified the missing competency: Anticipation.</li><li>With his Anticipatory Organization Model, he enables business leaders to separate Hard Trends from Soft Trends. When you learn to analyze and perceive trends this way, it is possible to tap into what Daniel calls Everyday Innovation, solving challenges faster, and recognizing opportunities. Mastering these capabilities will position your organization to be the disruptor instead of being the disrupted — thus creating competitive advantage, and reducing risk.</li><li><strong>Accelerating Growth: Leading with Strategic Foresight & Certainty</strong></li><li>Accelerating growth requires a new way of thinking about overcoming obstacles and acting on new opportunities. Too often, change comes from the outside in, forcing us to react by slipping into a crisis management mode, and putting out fires. This presentation is about opportunity management, identifying the driving forces of predictable change, driving growth strategies from the inside out, and taking control of our future.</li><li><strong>Business Process Transformation: The Big Ideas That are Changing Everything</strong></li><li>Daniel takes the concept of looking into the future and transforms it into a new paradigm for running an Anticipatory Organization using the new tools of innovation for driving business process transformation. The Cloud, Virtualization, Mobility, and Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M) are the great enablers allowing organizations to transform every business process in ways that were impossible just a few years ago to dramatically reduce costs and drive new revenue streams.</li><li><strong>Transforming Healthcare with Technology- Enabled Innovation</strong></li><li>We are standing at the base of a mountain of technology-driven change within the sphere of Healthcare. Wireless telemedicine, point-of-care transactions, e-enabled disease management, home diagnostics, the virtual hospital, e-enabled customer choice, e-enabled assisted living, e-communities of practice, just-in-time training, and procurement service providers are just a few of the many areas that can be used to accelerate a positive transformation in healthcare.</li><li>Understanding the new opportunities that will result is essential in determining a clear course of action. Technology will never replace doctors and nurses, but it will provide them with more data-driven insights and actions. A combination of data and technology will enable doctors to achieve their desired results faster, and empower patients with the knowledge of their own bodily state. Navigating these Hard Trends will lead you to the future of modern healthcare in a digital age.</li></ul>
