SingularityU Australia Executive Program March 2022

Exponential technologies are humanity’s most powerful tools for creating new opportunities and solving the significant challenges that we face. They demonstrate how the sustained doubling of price performance in computing power holds an immense potential to shape a better future.

We’ll provide you with a set of proven tools for integrating these technologies and nimble innovation practices into your organisation. We’ll discuss the role of the four fundamental human motivations, share the best practices from exponential organisations, and review the design principles of innovation in legacy organisations. We’ll also explain how to apply the 6D's of technology to explore potential innovations and how to apply moon-shot thinking to create 10x solutions that can have a massive impact.

You’ll also uncover insights about the trends that are already shaping our future including:

> The continued emergence of AI, robotics, and digital manufacturing that are transforming the workplace

> The future of medicine and digital biology that are impacting human health in a myriad of new ways

> The rise of blockchain technologies and their many implications on all types of transactions between individuals and organisations

> The ethical implications of exponential technologies and how to navigate toward an abundant future for all

Together, these insights and tools will enable you to predict and evaluate how accelerating technologies are transforming your industry, your organisation, your career, and your life.

While other leadership programs focus on best business practices for today, you’ll come away with an exponential vision for the future in this era of convergence and rapid change.

Day 1:

Reframing Your Perspective

The program begins with an overview of the exponential technologies that are driving our future, such as artificial intelligence, robotics and leadership. We’ll also examine core SU frameworks such as the 6Ds of Disruption and The Thing from the Future and explain how you can use them to shift your mindset and achieve the impact you want to make in the future.

Day 2:

Scanning the Horizon

During our second day, we’ll focus on specific technologies and global grand challenges that will play an important role in determining Australia's future. The main focus is on Moonshot thinking and the impacts on Future Cities. We’ll also explore ethical considerations about how we apply technology in the future and manage the impacts they may have on society.

Day 3:

Forecasting & Planning Your Future

On our final day together we will reflect on what it means to be exponential and the role that each of us can play in creating the future—not only as individuals but also as a cohort. You’ll plan your next steps and identify opportunities for the SU community to help you to achieve your goals.
