Everyone knows the world is changing – with technology re-writing the face of countless industries across the globe – but few people realise that the speed of this change is accelerating. Rapid change is not just a “phase” – it’s the new “norm”. As an international expert in disruptive technologies – having started, grown, and sold several Artificial Intelligence companies during the past 20 years – Matthew Michalewicz delivers a succinct keynote on the future and provides practical advice and insights on what it means for your company and industry. Topics covered include:

• Major trends driving innovation and disruption, such as personalisation, on demand consumption, and virtualisation
• How new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and 3-D printing will re-shape and disrupt countless industries
• Big data and the Internet of Things – what is it and why it’s important
• Implications for sales, marketing, and supply chain business functions
• What global companies are doing to accelerate innovation and protect themselves from disruption

Engaging and educational, Matthew’s keynote draws on facts and studies, as well as case studies on the topics covered.

The problem with success is that everybody has an opinion on how to achieve it. These opinions are usually based on personal experiences within a specific industry, time period, and geography, and can often be contradictory or irrelevant.

In the “Science of Success”, Matthew presents the five fundamental drivers of success that are evidence-based and proven through thousands of studies and decades of scientific research. Free from opinion and bias, he explains the mechanics of each driver, why it works, and how it can be applied for attaining business, career, and personal goals.

Matthew’s talk is often included as a keynote presentation in conferences, corporate events, and professional development programs, and is based on his groundbreaking book Life in Half a Second.

It’s not the company with the best product or service that wins the day, it’s the company with the best sales and marketing.

Using case studies and research from the field of psychology and behavioural finance, he will present what the ideal sales process should look like and how to apply it. Participants will learn how to:
