Daniel Burrus

I de fleste strategiprocesser betragtes fremtiden som usikker, og man reagerer ved at indtage en afdækkende holdning. Denne tilgang koster tid og investeringer, mens konkurrenterne handler på baggrund af signaler, der kunne forudses på forhånd. Ledelsesteam har brug for en disciplineret metode til at skelne mellem de dele af fremtiden, der allerede er fastlagt, og de dele, der stadig er åbne, og til at handle forskelligt i forhold til hver af disse.

Daniel Burrus hjælper organisationer med at skelne mellem de dele af fremtiden, der allerede er fastlagt, og de dele, der stadig er uafklarede, ved hjælp af en metode, der anvendes af Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM og det amerikanske forsvarsministerium.

Full Profile

Hvorfor virksomheder samarbejder med Daniel Burrus

  • Han tilbyder en navngivet, afprøvet metode til at skelne mellem Hard Trends (fremtidige sikkerheder) og Soft Trends (fremtidige muligheder), hvilket giver ledelsesteam et fælles sprog til strategiske satsninger.
  • Modellen for den forudseende organisation er blevet implementeret i Pentagons Joint Service Provider, hos Deloitte, Lockheed Martin og IBM, så rammen er blevet stresstestet i institutioner, hvor prisen for at tage fejl er høj.
  • Han har fulgt eksponentielle teknologiske skift siden begyndelsen af 1980'erne, hvilket betyder, at hans kommentarer om kunstig intelligens er baseret på fire årtier med mønstergenkendelse snarere end på nyere meninger.
  • Han er optaget i NSA CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, en ære, som færre end 300 foredragsholdere verden over har opnået, hvilket er et meningsfuldt tegn på formidlingsevne sideløbende med det intellektuelle indhold.
  • Syv bøger, heriblandt to bestsellere fra New York Times og Wall Street Journal, giver køberne et omfattende værk, de kan læse på forhånd og samle deres teams om inden samarbejdet.

Højdepunkter i biografien

  • Grundlægger og administrerende direktør for Burrus Research Associates, der har været i drift siden 1983.
  • Forfatter til syv bøger, herunder *Flash Foresight* (bestseller i *New York Times* og *Wall Street Journal*) og *The Anticipatory Organization*.
  • Optaget i National Speakers Association CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame.
  • Medstifter af Department of Defense Joint Services Futures Group.
  • Bidragyder til Harvard Business Review, Wired og Huffington Post; LinkedIn Top Voice med mere end 1,2 millioner følgere.
  • Skaberen af Hard Trend-metoden, der anvendes hos Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM og Pentagons Joint Service Provider.

Biografi

Strategiteams bruger det meste af deres planlægningstid på ting, der måske vil ske. Det sværere spørgsmål er, hvilke dele af fremtiden der allerede er fastlagte. Hard Trend-metoden, udviklet af Daniel Burrus gennem mere end tredive års forskning hos Burrus Research Associates, er skabt til at besvare dette spørgsmål på en måde, som ledelsesteams rent faktisk kan bruge.

Metoden skelner mellem »Hard Trends« – prognoser baseret på målbare demografiske, teknologiske og lovgivningsmæssige forandringer – og »Soft Trends« – prognoser, der ser solide ud, men som kan påvirkes. Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM og Pentagons Joint Service Provider har anvendt rammen til at omlægge deres måde at forudsige og planlægge på. Bogen »The Anticipatory Organization« fra 2017 er den offentlige præsentation af denne model og var nummer et på Amazons liste over nye erhvervsbøger.

Burrus begyndte at følge eksponentielle teknologiske skift i begyndelsen af 1980’erne, længe før kunstig intelligens blev et emne i bestyrelseslokalerne. Denne lange erfaring giver hans nuværende arbejde med kunstig intelligens, automatisering og digital transformation en evne til mønstergenkendelse, som nyere kommentatorer ikke kan måle sig med. *Flash Foresight*, hans bestseller fra 2011 på *New York Times* og *Wall Street Journal*, beskriver den underliggende kognitive tilgang for topledere, der arbejder uden et fremtidsteam.

Hans profil som foredragsholder står på højde med hans intellektuelle meritter. Han er optaget i CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, en LinkedIn Top Voice med mere end 1,2 millioner følgere og bidrager til Harvard Business Review, Wired og Huffington Post. Han er stiftende medlem af Department of Defense Joint Services Futures Group – hvilket er den måde, en seriøs fremtidsforsker signalerer, at arbejdet er blevet afprøvet i miljøer, hvor prisen for strategiske overraskelser er højest.

Samtaler

Anticipate. Accelerate. Lead.

A working session on separating the parts of the future that are already fixed from the parts still in play, and on sequencing AI adoption so that judgement comes before tooling.

Key takeaways:

  • The Hard Trend Methodology applied to the technology, demographic and regulatory forces specific to the audience’s industry
  • Why organisations that buy AI tools before building AI judgement automate faster without creating more value
  • A customised Hard Trend Opportunity Report, built from the audience’s own input and delivered within two weeks

Lead With Certainty

A case for treating anticipation, not agility, as the primary leadership capability, built on the argument that much of what boards currently file under uncertainty is in fact knowable.

Key takeaways:

  • The working distinction between Hard Trends, which will happen, and Soft Trends, which might happen and can be influenced
  • A basis for deciding where to act now, where to prepare, and where to stay flexible
  • How pre-solving a predictable problem removes cost and delay that would otherwise arrive later

Human-First AI

Where AI creates value and where people still create the advantage, with a decision process for telling the two apart.

Key takeaways:

  • Criteria for deciding which work to automate, which to augment, which to transform, and which to keep human
  • The capabilities that gain value as the machines improve, including judgement and the verification of machine output
  • A way to measure AI return that counts customer trust and institutional knowledge alongside cost reduction

Futureview®

  • What it costs an organisation when its leaders and its employees are working from different views of the future
  • A common test for evaluating which trends warrant real time and resources and which do not

Reinvent Work Before AI Does

A practical pass through roles, tasks and workflows for leadership teams deciding what work should become once AI and digital coworkers are doing part of it.

  • The technology-driven changes to work that are already certain over the next five to ten years
  • How to protect institutional knowledge and accountability through a workforce transition

Know What's Next

The anticipatory leadership talk, built around managing the present while identifying and acting on what is coming next.

  • What it takes to move on an opportunity while competitors are still reacting to it
