Exponential Banking & Finance

This session focuses on the future of finance and banking in light of accelerating technological change and emerging exponential business models. We will survey present and anticipated technological shifts in the worlds of artificial intelligence, blockchain & other distributed ledgers, quantum computing, and more broadly fintech. We will also map out likely trajectories for disruptive threats and opportunities in this sector both for incumbents and startups, with special attention to adjacent innovation prospects for financial institutions with strong network effects and brand recognition.

In this session we will look at real world case studies of companies pursuing transformation and learn from their successes and failures. We will summarize best practices for transforming culture, management structure, and market-facing strategies, while keeping a close eye on boosting the organization’s adaptability.

Adaptive Leadership & Exponential Organizations

The ability to respond to change has become the strongest predictor of success. In this session, we will focus on the concept of AQ -­ Adaptability Quotient -­ and discuss what affects our ability to respond to exponential change as individuals and teams. The focus will be on how leaders and managers can enable agility in their teams and remove barriers to adaptability, while building an Exponential Organization that effectively leverages exponential technologies. The discussion will also focus on the concept of Lygometry – ­a key component of adaptive and creative behavior.

Adaptive Leadership

How do successful companies adapt to an exponentially changing world? What factors prevent organizations from anticipating and responding to disruptions? The Exponential Strategy talk analyzes the process of adaptability and how it scales from personal transformation to organizational change.
