Daniel Burrus

I de flesta strategiprocesser betraktas framtiden som osäker, vilket leder till att man väljer att säkra sig. Denna inställning kostar både tid och investeringar, medan konkurrenterna agerar utifrån signaler som gick att förutse. Ledningsgrupper behöver ett disciplinerat tillvägagångssätt för att skilja de delar av framtiden som redan är bestämda från de som fortfarande är öppna för tolkning, och för att hantera dem på olika sätt.

Daniel Burrus hjälper organisationer att skilja mellan de delar av framtiden som redan är bestämda och de som fortfarande är öppna, med hjälp av en metodik som används av Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM och det amerikanska försvarsdepartementet.

Full Profile

Varför organisationer samarbetar med Daniel Burrus

  • Han erbjuder en namngiven, beprövad metod för att skilja mellan ”Hard Trends” (framtida säkerheter) och ”Soft Trends” (framtida möjligheter), vilket ger ledningsgrupper ett gemensamt språk för strategiska satsningar.
  • Modellen ”Anticipatory Organization” har implementerats inom Pentagons Joint Service Provider, Deloitte, Lockheed Martin och IBM, vilket innebär att ramverket har genomgått stresstester inom institutioner där kostnaden för att ha fel är hög.
  • Han har följt exponentiella teknologiska förändringar sedan början av 1980-talet, vilket innebär att hans kommentarer om AI bygger på fyra decennier av mönsterigenkänning snarare än på aktuella åsikter.
  • Han är invald i NSA CPAE:s ”Speaker Hall of Fame”, en utmärkelse som färre än 300 talare världen över har erhållit, vilket är ett tydligt tecken på både talarkonst och intellektuellt innehåll.
  • Sju böcker, varav två är bästsäljare enligt New York Times och Wall Street Journal, ger kunderna ett omfattande författarskap att sätta sig in i och samordna sina team kring innan uppdraget inleds.

Höjdpunkter i biografin

  • Grundare och VD för Burrus Research Associates, verksamt sedan 1983.
  • Författare till sju böcker, däribland Flash Foresight (bästsäljare i New York Times och Wall Street Journal) och The Anticipatory Organization.
  • Invald i National Speakers Association CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame.
  • Grundande medlem av Department of Defense Joint Services Futures Group.
  • Skribent för Harvard Business Review, Wired och Huffington Post; LinkedIn Top Voice med över 1,2 miljoner följare.
  • Utvecklare av Hard Trend-metoden, som används inom Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM och Pentagons Joint Service Provider.

Biografi

Strategiteam ägnar större delen av sin planeringstid åt saker som kanske kommer att hända. Den svårare frågan är vilka delar av framtiden som redan är fastställda. ”Hard Trend Methodology”, utvecklad av Daniel Burrus under mer än trettio års forskning vid Burrus Research Associates, är utformad för att besvara den frågan på ett sätt som ledningsgrupper faktiskt kan använda sig av.

Metoden skiljer mellan ”Hard Trends” – prognoser som grundar sig på mätbara demografiska, tekniska och regulatoriska förändringar – och ”Soft Trends” – prognoser som verkar solida men som kan påverkas. Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, IBM och Pentagons Joint Service Provider har tillämpat ramverket för att omforma sitt sätt att göra prognoser och planera. Boken ”The Anticipatory Organization”, som han gav ut 2017, är den offentliga presentationen av den modellen och blev en etta på Amazons lista över nya affärsböcker.

Burrus började följa exponentiella teknologiska förändringar i början av 1980-talet, långt innan AI blev ett ämne i styrelserummen. Denna långa erfarenhet ger hans nuvarande arbete inom artificiell intelligens, automatisering och digital transformation en förmåga att känna igen mönster som nyare kommentatorer inte kan mäta sig med. ”Flash Foresight”, hans bästsäljare från 2011 i New York Times och Wall Street Journal, redogör för den underliggande kognitiva metoden för ledande befattningshavare som arbetar utan ett framtidsteam.

Hans meriter som talare matchar de intellektuella. Han är invald i CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, en LinkedIn Top Voice med över 1,2 miljoner följare och skribent för Harvard Business Review, Wired och Huffington Post. Han är en av grundarna av Department of Defense Joint Services Futures Group, vilket är ett tecken på att en seriös framtidsanalytiker har testat sin metod i miljöer där kostnaden för strategiska överraskningar är som högst.

Viktiga föreläsningsämnen

  • Metodiken för ”Hard Trends” och den framsynta organisationen
  • Strategi för artificiell intelligens för ledande befattningshavare
  • Disruptiv innovation och exponentiell teknik
  • Digital omvandling
  • Strategisk framtidsanalys och långsiktig planering
  • Framtidens affärsverksamhet och teknikdriven tillväxt
  • Konkurrensfördel genom framförhållning

Perfekt för

  • VD:ar, operativa chefer och strategiledare som arbetar med fleråriga planeringscykler i en tid präglad av allt snabbare teknisk förändring
  • Styrelseledamöter och ledningsgrupper som utvärderar satsningar på AI och teknik
  • Transformations- och innovationsledare inom reglerade eller kapitalintensiva branscher
  • Ledningsgrupper inom offentlig sektor och försvar som bygger upp sin framtidsförmåga

Resultat för målgruppen

  • En praktisk distinktion mellan ”hårda trender” och ”mjuka trender” som de kan tillämpa på sina egna strategiska satsningar
  • Ett gemensamt språk för att förutse störningar innan de inträffar, snarare än att reagera i efterhand
  • En konkret bild av de exponentiella teknologier som mest sannolikt kommer att omforma deras bransch under nästa planeringscykel
  • En tydligare bild av var investeringar i AI ger varaktiga konkurrensfördelar och var de bara skapar störningar
  • Praktiska åtgärder för att få en organisation att gå från en reaktiv till en proaktiv hållning

Utvecklingssamtal

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®

A leadership framework for building a shared view of what is coming, so that strategy, AI, investment and workforce decisions are judged against the same picture.

Key takeaways:

  • An Anticipatory Lens for separating what will happen from what the organisation is assuming
  • 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.

Key takeaways:

  • A lens for sorting every role and workflow into eliminate, automate, augment, elevate, reinvent or keep human
  • 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.

Key takeaways:

  • How to rethink risk once future facts have been separated from assumptions
  • Where to focus time, talent and capital when the forces reshaping the industry are known in advance
  • What it takes to move on an opportunity while competitors are still reacting to it
